The iPhone Duo on Amazon (paid link) just arrived with a folded body that feels shorter than the 15 Pro Max (paid link) but wider in the palm. It lasts much longer on battery, and both run the latest software, but the new model costs far more as a fresh release. Choose the Duo for its endurance and shape, or stick with the slab if size and price matter most.
