Unlock the iPhone Duo faster!

Buying an Apple Watch just to get into the iPhone Duo faster is one way to do it. In this short, the Gadget Pilipinas team shows the other one: Touch ID.

The clip runs under two minutes and sticks to the setup rather than the sales pitch. The takeaway is simple. The fingerprint option is already part of the phone, so the Watch stays a nice extra instead of a requirement.

What you will pick up

• The Touch ID route to unlocking the iPhone Duo
• Why the team frames the Apple Watch as optional
• Where owners usually leave speed on the table

That last point is the practical bit. Most people set their phone up once and never revisit how they unlock it, which is exactly how a device ends up feeling slower than it actually is. A short pass through the unlock options is usually enough to close the gap.

It also reframes the accessory question. If the only reason you were eyeing a Watch was convenience at the lock screen, this video makes the case that you can skip the purchase entirely and keep the same benefit.
