What the heck is the "Key Facts" section at the top of the article? How are the Duo's price, the Fold 8's inner screen size, and the Duo order date the 3 key pieces of information for this article

Is it just me or does the design of the iPhone Duo look terrible with those big rounded corners? You know how children's toys have big soft rounded corners and overly colored glossy finishes? It feels to me like the iphone has become "Fisher-Price my first phone" for basic idiots. It no longer feels like a sleek device of the future like the iPhone 4 did. The design feels tasteless.

It's the kind of thing that looks cool in demos, but is annoying when you have to put up with it everyday. I usually have all animations on my phones turned off. I turned them on yesterday to test something and I'm already getting tired of all the fade ins, blurs, window movements etc - it's quite tiring when you know you can have that screen immediately.
