On this Vergecast episode, David and Nilay debate whether the iPhone Duo deserved its 7/10 score, which they admit wasn't always the planned rating. They weigh John Gruber's claim that the outer screen is "the worst iPhone ever," ask whether the device would be better if launched as an iPad rather than an iPhone, and explore how this bold rethinking of the world's most popular smartphone might evolve over time.
