Regarding Apple's iPhone Duo, a listener inquired about the feel of closing the device, with hosts confirming it has a distinct 'thwack'. They also noted that due to its size, opening it with one hand would be difficult and potentially strain the user's hand, suggesting a two-handed operation is likely the intended primary experience.
“All I really want to know is how does the closing of the iPhone duo feel? Is it a dramatic thwack or a sad whisper?”
“It is definitely a thwack.”
“Can you open it with one hand?”
“I mean, it's pretty wide. So doing that would be very, the audio listeners can't see this, but my hand would be strained. Okay. It would be difficult.”
