Performance Issue

However, since its release, customers have experienced several common problems. Including screen randomly cracking, leading to the term, Crackgate, poor app optimization , camera limitations, and IOS bugs. According to reviews, the foldable is heavier than a standard iPhone, making it uncomfortable to hold.
Pricing
This model is far the most expensive smartphone product Apple has created. The iPhone 18 Pro Max starts at $1,299, while the duo starts at $1,999 for the base storage model. However, the price gradually increases as more storage space is added.

Final Thoughts
As of right now, if you are someone who wishes to buy the duo, it may be best to hold off or consider the alternative: the iPhone 18 Pro Max. Apple is still slowly releasing this model because of high demand, and even customers who have pre-ordered may not get their hands on it until at least January.
