Yesterday, I picked up my iPhone Duo at Apple Fifth Avenue , and it’s been a wonder to use. Of course, the phone isn’t perfect, but after my first day of usage, I’m looking forward to daily driving it – even if it has a couple quirks.

When discussing iPhone Duo, most people are going to talk about the under display FaceTime camera, Touch ID, and app support as compromises. Sure, those are features that make it a lesser experience than a typical iPhone, but personally, I don’t find them as experience-ruining at all.

Last year, Apple impressed many with the iPhone Air. It was incredibly thin, and certainly an engineering marvel to shove everything into that form factor. You felt it though: speaker quality was subpar, you only had a single rear camera, and battery life was lacking compared to any other iPhone. It was by no means unusable, but you had to compromise.
