iPhone Duo tidbit:
The updated polishing cloth that everyone called “cheaper” and worse quality than the previous one is actually designed for the inner screen of iPhone Duo. I tested both versions and the previous one didn’t do anything. The new cloth removes smudges easily

IP tests whether fine dust can penetrate the critical interior logic board, battery, and primary chambers. It does not require the complex mechanical gaps, sliding tracks, or outer covers of a foldable hinge to be completely sealed against debris.
I don't take issue with your videos as entertainment. My issue is that they are presented as the gold standard for durability. Even though there isn't one test that is done that people do with their devices in the real world.

After watching iFixit’s video on the iPhone Duo breakdown
Gary was right
The dust enters the hinge but the ip 68 rating kept the dust away from the internals that were sealed

Love the look of this but dear god, your website is absolutely atrocious on the Duo. It’s actually impossible to even fill in the email field because it’s just jumping around. This looks like a great site on desktop I’m sure, but you need to work on the usability, it’s like 1/10 right now on the Duo front screen

OpenAI released GPT-6.1 Terra today, its mid-priced model built to operate a computer: invoices into accounting software, forms, proposals.
It is in ChatGPT Work and Codex for paying plans, not regular chat. API price: $1 per million input tokens, $5 output, half the old Terra.
OpenAI's own test puts low-effort errors at 16.7%, down from 53.6%. Unverified, but cost per task is what decides whether agents run all day.
Smart idea, way better than text although I do write prompts as a stream of consciousness as if I were just using voice anyway

This is the Power Rangers Model of building a Scaled YouTube Team.
Every Ranger should be dangerous alone, but the entire team should be nearly unbeatable together.

Testing out the UIs of all the major AI apps on the iPhone Duo.
Most are already fairly well optimized already.
I would say Claude and Muse 'feel' the best right now.
AppleCare is a must and hell, the pricing is designed that the AppleCare One bundle is the only thing you need.
I’ve had it replace 2 stolen phones and 4 broken ones in 11+ years and still well worth the investment, especially for Mac and the Duo.
Anyone not buying AC is just stupid, unless they already have coverage elsewhere.

“outdoor readability fixed!”
and it looks like shit 😭
iPhone Duo Matte Display Outdoor Readability FIXED!
Applied Samsung’s anti-reflective screen protector, and the difference is HUGE.

Gonna shoot a reel on this once I land tomorrow but it’s the slowest of any fingerprint sensor on a foldable that I’ve tried, or at least I can remember. This is almost 100% down to the delay and need to swipe up, so it should be easy for them to fix.
It’s not that legit tho Vyp, it’s STILL several seconds slower than Android, especially with requiring the extra swipes. This is something I can’t forgive Apple for, especially as I’ve used all the Androids. This would be so damn good if they let us customize the behavior!
