Would Steve Jobs Have Shipped the iPhone Duo? 15 Years After His Death

On the 15th anniversary of Steve Jobs' death, a debate: would he have shipped Apple's rumored foldable iPhone Duo?
- Jobs famously slammed 7-inch tablets and said "if you see a stylus, they blew it" — traits shared by today's foldables.
- The author argues Jobs was a hypocrite who reversed his own strong product opinions when needed, so he likely would have shipped it while declaring all other foldables bad.
- To Jobs, an iPhone Duo would be an iPhone and an iPad in your pocket — the ultimate mobile device.
