Rumors about the foldable iPhone were unclear on whether it would have MagSafe charging, but it turns out the iPhone Duo does indeed have a magnetic charging array.

Some iPhone Duos are already experiencing hinge issues that cause display cracks, based on photos shared on Reddit and the MacRumors forums. Almost all of the display faults are right along the hinge, and most result in a line of bright pixels across one side of the screen.
An iPhone Duo owner in Australia said his device cracked after being opened fewer than 20 times, and there was no...
Those were the two items I needed. Definitely moving forward with the Duo. I've needed a change after nearly 18 years of the same form factor. I can finally get rid of my iPad and move to a iPhone and Mac only combo.
Man, seems like they have done the foldable correctly with how opening of the phone brings continuity to what was on the outer screen. 100% in on this.
