Panel 2
*Inside a cozy living room, cluttered with books and gadgets. A man, JASON, mid-30s, stares blankly at his iPhone Duo on the coffee table. The Duo has dual displays, a new design element that confuses him.* Jason (to himself, puzzled)
Jason: This used to be so simple... How do I even turn it on?
Panel 3
*Jason, now in the kitchen, holds the iPhone Duo while attempting to follow a complex guide on the refrigerator, which is filled with notes and a large printed manual. He looks lost and frustrated.* Jason (muttering)
Jason: Step 3 says "Swipe left twice." Left of what?

Jason: How did I go from "tap and hold" to "Swipe left twice"? This is insane.
