Spent a bit more time in @Blender trying to do a product vis shot of the Samsung S27 Ultra in 4 colours with a better transition than the last one.
Also tried adding a privacy display demo to the notification at the top, but it didn't quite work out as planned.
Using the leaked One Ui 9.5 update screen seemed like a good idea at the time to make it more of a genuine concept reproduction but in hindsight, a standard Samsung wallpaper would've worked better.
All fun and games.
If you use #Blender or work on product vis - feel free to send me some tips.
@OTOY's OCtane is also a LOT easier to use than Cycles, but maybe that's because I'm used to it.
All those times I said "Oh, so the IPhone Duo has got matte screen protector on then?"
All the backlash I got and horrified comments from Apple users praising the genius that is the 10 layer, creaseless, moving, nano technology touch screen, that only Apple could possibly make.
And it's a Nano texture screen protector.
Much like the one on my Samsung! 🤔👇🏼
@ZacksJerryRig liked my post 🫡🫡 Much appreciated, you legend! 🫡
What's your favourite IPhone Duo wallpaper? 🤣🤣🤔
Someone's already sold their IPhone 18 Pro 2TB to @Cex in my local shop in the UK!
They would've sold that at as serious loss. 🤯
What would pick up for these prices? 🤔
31,000 views and I only just realised I forgot the word *you 😅
*What would YOU pick up at these prices* it was meant to say... ☠️😬
1.4 MILLION views! How mad! @Cex you should probably gift me the IPhone now, so I can show it is in fact a legit, working, non blocked handset 🤔
Then I can do a giveaway - as I'm a Samsung user... 😎
For those of you that disagree with the torture tests @ZacksJerryRig puts phones through - here's an IFixit video clearly showing that the IPhone Duo, should most definitely NOT have an IP68 rating.
I'm not quite sure how Apple managed to pull that one off 🤔
Have Apple ever had a worse product launch than the Duo? 🤔😬
And this just goes to show how limited people really are when it comes to mobiles. So many people just assume Apple must be the best...
@KaiCenat shocked that Samsung have a foldable! 🤣

What's funny too - is it still has the fingerprint marks on 🤣 People keep complaining it's a fingerprint magnet - and there's the evidence.
I'd be trying to seriously haggle this down...
Next time I go past, I'll see if it's still there and post an update.
Tech channel PhoneBuff just released one of the first drop-test videos for the iPhone Duo.
"From the very first drop, the hinge mechanism jammed and couldn't open fully flat.
By the fourth drop, the impact traveling through the body totally killed the inner screen, the left half lost signal and the right half completely lost touch response"
And @iTechApples had so many issues with the iPhone Duo he went to return it at the Apple Store, and the employees acted like he committed a crime.
Video below - drop test linked 👇🏼
Hopefully everyone bought their Apple Care + 👀☠️
🚨 BREAKING: Tech channel PhoneBuff just released a drop-test video for the iPhone Duo
From the very first drop, the hinge mechanism jammed and couldn’t open fully flat.
By the fourth drop, the impact traveling through the body totally killed the inner screen, the left half lost signal and the right half completely lost touch response.
Although the outer screen still works, the unfolding function is basically disabled.
Hinge Gate, Cracking Gate, Screen Gate? 👀🤔
Whatever people are choosing to call it - it's legit and not a great start to Apple's first foldable.
@kenw_2 shared this 👇🏼 (video below).
"This user may have inadvertently confirmed the cause of the iPhone Duo screen cracking. After just one day of use, the hinge has already started protruding.
Because all the crack points discovered so far are almost in the exact same location-slightly below the midline of the inner screen, right where this user noticed the bulge. Unless something unexpected happens, it will soon push upward and break through the screen. The user has now contacted Apple after-sales service.
From the examples of screen cracking among domestic and international users so far, the number is actually quite substantial-it's even become a hot post on Reddit. Apple has not yet confirmed any defects in the hinge design or manufacturing (and even if there really are, given Apple's nature, it's hard for them to admit it), so it's recommended to keep watching and wait for a response."

It's not from the @ZacksJerryRig video
Samsung is already testing post-rollout bug fix builds for the Galaxy S24 series as One UI 9 expands globally.
A new test build has just been spotted on the test servers for international models:
Build: S938BXXU6EZJB/S938BOXM6EZJB
This steps the bootloader up from S6 to U6, which usually signals more than just a routine monthly security patch.
With European and North American rollouts actively underway, Samsung's software team is clearly working to iron out early battery drain and stutter reports before the wider regional waves land.
If you're running One UI 9 on an S24 series device, what's the one bug you want patched first? 🤔
The Duo, it seems, was in fact poorly designed in certain areas...
So everyone mocking Samsung's 7-8 years of foldable experience might have given them the edge after all.
SnapGate is real 👀🤯
Screenshots from @Mathieulh
This is NOT a great start for Apple.
IOS 27 rollout was a disaster - and now the Duo reportedly has a critical flaw in it's display...
And we're only 24 hours into launch.
@johnternus has had a rough start! 😬☠️👀
