The Duo is an entirely new kind of iPhone, so it comes with a bit of a learning curve. That\u2019s a wild thing to imagine, since the iPhone has had very few fundamental changes since its inception. But the Duo is built different. If you won the preorder lottery and managed to get your hands on one today, you\u2019ll see what that means. You\u2019ll laugh, you\u2019ll cry, you\u2019ll lose track of the volume buttons as you turn the thing around.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We\u2019ve learned a few tricks over the past week of flipping and folding the Duo as much as we could. Here are our favorite tips and hacks for newly minted Duo owners.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

You can set orientation lock on each screen independently<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I learned this one when someone on Threads asked about it<\/a>. Normally, I keep screen orientation lock enabled because I hate it when everything flips unintentionally. But the Duo is built to be used in different orientations. So, throughout my first week with the phone, I just left it unlocked and didn\u2019t think twice about it. But it turns out that if you lock orientation on the outer screen to preserve your sanity, you can leave it unlocked for the inner screen, which you are much more likely to want to rotate. And even with orientation locked on the cover screen, videos will still rotate automatically if you prop it up in tent mode.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
