The Apple Pencil turned the Duo into my new favorite notebook

David Sedaris mentions that the Apple iPhone Duo, a $2,000 folding phone, is a surprisingly good stand-in for a $20 notebook, and that it has inspired him to take more moments to write instead of scrolling on his phone. The iPhone Duo can be used as a notebook with the Apple Pencil, and its new form factor allows for meaningful use in different ways, such as acting as a virtual Hasselblad camera or a book-shaped e-reader. The author notes that people are tired of their old phones and are drawn to the Duo's uniqueness, and that it's hard to argue against its appeal.
