Indie developer Vidit Bhargava demoed "Duo-Man" at a Bitrig hackathon — an app for the unreleased iPhone Duo foldable that mimics a classic Walkman: open the 7.6-inch inner display to pick and "insert" a cassette, then close to the 5.4-inch outer display to start playback. He recorded real Walkman button clicks and static noise for the app, and said he picked the idea by looking for physical objects with a hinge. Pre-orders for the iPhone Duo do not start until later in October.
