A feature called Duo Preview puts a live view of the main camera's frame on the outer display, for both photos and video.\n\nWith Duo Preview on, the outer display mirrors what the main camera captures, so it works like a mirror rather than a viewfinder. The outer display shows only the preview, with no camera controls on that side. Subjects can fix their pose, hair, or costume before you shoot.\n\nTo turn it on:\n\n1. Unfold the iPhone Duo so the inner display faces you.\n2. Open the Camera app.\n3. Tap the Outer Display Options button (a column view icon) in the top-left corner, then tap Duo Preview.\n4. Point the rear cameras at your subject.\n\nTap the shutter button for a photo or Record for video. Either volume button or the Camera Control also triggers the shot.\n\nThe design choice worth noticing is the split of jobs. On a single-screen phone, the person behind the camera is the only one who sees the frame, and the controls share that glass with the image. Here the photographer keeps the controls on the inner display, while the outer display is given over entirely to the subject's view. Leaving controls off the outer side is what makes the mirror comparison hold up.\n\nDuo Preview is one of several camera features built around the Duo's foldable design, alongside Kid Cue and Smart Take.","[\"iphone-duo\",\"apple\",\"camera\",\"foldables\"]","2026-10-26T11:31:21.000Z","2026-10-26T12:16:12.368Z","2026-10-26T12:16:12.625Z","published",null,[24,30,34],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"Remove or source the claims the MacRumors piece doesn't support (that Samsung and Google already ship outer-screen previews, and what Apple 'wants' a second screen to do), drop the judgment that Kid Cue and Smart Take are 'the better test' when the source doesn't say what they do, and fix the clumsy 'iPhone Duo's Duo Preview' headline, so the piece offers more than a paraphrased how-to.","resolved",{"id":31,"reviewer":26,"round":32,"reason":33,"status":29},"editor-r2",2,"Delete the closing paragraph, which admits 'the source lists those two without saying what they do' and leaves an 'open question' in place of a real conclusion (end on finished article prose, or cut Kid Cue and Smart Take entirely), and also trim the filler about multiple shutter triggers and the unsupported 'bathroom mirror' and 'opt-in' framing so the piece adds real context.",{"id":35,"reviewer":26,"round":36,"reason":37,"status":29},"editor-r3",3,"The Kid Cue\u002FSmart Take admission and the filler are gone, but the draft still makes claims the source doesn't support: Apple 'describes' several camera features (that is MacRumors, not Apple), the camera app 'already treats the outer display as a separate camera surface', Apple's version is 'cleaner' than Samsung's, and the Samsung comparison itself is unsourced.
