I wonder if Street Fighter had been all animu or all live-action, would that have made much of a difference? Box office looking like a sequel is unlikely. It’s a shame because the casting was pretty great overall. The movie itself was a little cheese-corny for most ppl tho IMHO.

Me, I LOVE that stuff, but that’s just me…

All of the Street Fighter Movie cast have signed on for 3 films according to Zangief actor Olivier Richters! "All actors, including me, signed for three movies. ‘If a sequel is made, Zangief will shine,’ was the promise. Apart from that, you can't expect, from a two-hour movie with so many characters, for everyone to shine in the first part. But anyways, thanks for wanting to see more of Zangief!” ign.com/articles/the-street-…

apple.news/Ah7n_UKoJSfCQ8_ac… I enjoyed working with Walter on Moontrap eons ago and we bumped into each other at cons randomly. He was always funny and sweet. Until we see each other in the next dimension!

Big surprise that initial defects/failures might be a lot higher on folding displays. I wonder how Apple’s reliability rates will stack up to the other OEMs. So @mweinbach if all OEMs have sold <20M foldables ever, is Samsung up to >10M sold yet?

Are we doing this again Apple? iOS 27.0.1 with utterly mediocre efficiency and runtime? Seemed like 27.0 was at least normal.

Having a foldable with a double-sided screen (with the 5.4” display being where Face ID might go) probably complicates the engineering And also “so how would I Face ID with the Duo unfolded?” I just hope Touch ID is far better than 1:50k security by now…?

Good points, but would we WANT 100% active pixels on iPhone Duo necessarily? Go with the resolution settings from a Pro iPhone and scale up to fill the display and battery draw may also go up quite a bit. Devs will need time to adjust even if they were convinced Duo sells big.
Now with the embargo lifted for the iPhone DUO; my first impressions are that I am not impressed. Apple should have released the DUO next year. It looks more like an unfinished product. Most apps and all games are not compatible with the DUO aspect ratio! The black bars look horrible. Last, as I’ve mentioned, you are paying more for less. The performance of the DUO is closer to the iPhone 17 Pro Max and A19 Pro due to the thermal restraints. Battery life is horrible as well. I can go on, but I will make sure to test all of this once I receive my unit in November.

(The fix would be to go full-screen at some reduction of upscaling/effects, OR a warning that MAX SETTINGS could lower performance and drain battery faster.)

The entire foldable market since Galaxy Fold in 2019 or so has been <20M units?! Very interesting review/read!

Sounds reasonable, also good luck getting even one for a bit, also this has happened before with some other iPhone launches AFAIK

Why the heck is the Battery Usage trends graph still *spontaneously resetting itself* in the age of iOS 27 dot zero dot one? I mean I know why, but c’mon.

MagSafe for iPhone is situationally amazing. Also why the eff haven’t any wireless chargers like for cars upgraded to at least Qi2.0 yet sheesh (Qi2.2 plus ventilated for the truly enlightened, yeah right maybe in 2035)
