I kept seeing, like, you know, everyone's like, there are weird software things, and yeah, of course, obviously.

Because, sure, yeah, woo, new phone form factor, but it is a new handheld form factor.

And the camera, while I know it's not as good as the Pro, there's a reason they're called Pros.

Now I'm regularly on camera sets where the Blackmagic iPhone app is just what is used.

And so, because, like, here's the thing with the camera, it is also a different form factor.

If third-party camera apps can take advantage of those, you know, I haven't seen any of that yet.

Most importantly, I am just thrilled that there's something new and weird, and I welcome all of the novelty apps to come.
Um, so when I got the, when I got the case, I pulled out the case obviously, and it does feel different than I was expecting it to feel, uh, in my hands.
I think that this phone that I definitely have has a really nice feel to its hinge.
Um, it's, it's, Fun to see how developers are adapting their software for it, but I'm a little disappointed at the few apps that I have used, definitely have used on this iPhone Duo that I definitely have, that don't take advantage of the full screen and just seem awkward and out of place.
