Reply to comment by Avieshek in Apple to Make Custom Displays In-House, Starting With MicroLED for Apple Watch Ultra in 2024 by Avieshek

they’re designing the displays, like they do with their miniLEDs or their chips. (though i’d consider this an even more custom effort than the latter, since they probably have to teach and set up with suppliers how to even produce the displays vs using existing fabs). They’ve been researching and prototyping these displays for nigh a decade

I'll never buy a phone from Microsoft again after what they did to windows phone. I still see Microsoft as the guy who murdered my wife. I loved that phone ecosystem till it's literal death untill MS pulled the plug on it after years of mismanagement the ecosystem.

I've had both the Duo 1 and 2, and both were incredible to use, just simple things that you could never do by going back to a standard single aspect phone.

You sound like someone who has never used one, as the entire point of a dual screen phone is that they are so much easier to use.

Once you use a device like this you realise how pathetically limited phones are.

Imagine you're on the go and someone sends you a picture of a number written down that you have to use elsewhere, like a webform or something... how tf are you gonna do that on a single aspect phone? Memorise the number? LOOOOL

Where do you gimps crawl from? I have a deep water diving licence gimp, and it took me many many hours to train to be permitted to drive to that level using leased equipment. You sound like the kind of silly numpty that can't even swim. 30m = 100 feet. It's dark at that depth.

Edit: for the non-gimps, diving depths: https://oceantrust.org/scuba-diving-depth-for-beginners/
