Briefings

Nicole Nguyen, a Wall Street Journal contributor, tested the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max Duo in phone mode, reporting that the device is significantly heavier and thicker than competitors due to its titanium frame. She found the one-handed grip difficult, causing hand strain, and noted that while some users can manage it, the design remains two-handed. Nguyen suggested the device might be too large for her needs and compared it unfavorably to the Westworld super-thin tri-fold.
