YouTuber Marques Brownlee spoke with Apple's Senior Vice President of Software Engineering, Craig Federighi, about the possibility of the iPhone Duo becoming a threat to the iPad. During the interview, Brownlee directly raised the question of whether the new dual-screen iPhone concept could replace Apple's tablets.
Federighi responded to the question by presenting the company's position on the coexistence of the two devices. The executive argued that the iPhone Duo and the iPad serve different purposes and that both will continue to have their place in Apple's ecosystem.
The conversation comes in the context of speculation about Apple's future plans for its mobile devices. The iPhone Duo concept represents an innovation in smartphone design, but Apple seems to want to maintain the distinction between its product lines.
Brownlee, one of the world's most well-known technology influencers, used his platform to clarify with one of Apple's most important executives the company's intentions regarding the future of its devices.
