Got an iPhone Duo? These 9 settings make it easier to use
From Touch ID shortcuts to smarter volume buttons and camera tricks, these tweaks make Apple's foldable iPhone easier to use every day.
Apple’s new foldable , the iPhone Duo, has proven popular enough that the company can’t keep the device in stock . While the Duo introduces a new way to use an iPhone, getting the most out of this initial version may require adjusting a few settings to make it work better when it comes to everyday tasks, like unlocking the device with Touch ID, navigating the interface, and taking photos.
After spending some time with the Duo, we’d recommend making the following adjustments to make the new iPhone a bit easier to use, most notably when it comes to the use of Touch ID.
