On touch coming to the Mac, your timeline will be flooded with the same video of Steve saying āit makes a great demoā. While fair to call out (and however you feel about it personally), Apple has never been afraid to u-turn. Steve, as brilliant as he was, was responsible for some huge u-turns š
4ļøā£. E-books (2008): āThe fact is that people don't read anymore.ā Steve stated this in an interview with the New York Times. He even dismissed the Kindle's prospects, then introduced iBooks on iPad just two years later. The kindle has turned out to be pretty successful.

I think itās impressive that iMac still offers by far the most color choices despite what Iām sure are lower sales. Itās a very complex product with loads of color-matched parts and accessories.
The durability videos? Entertainment only. Not representative of how people really use their devices and theyāre absolutely not scientific. As for the ācommentatorsā, theyāre in the business of saying whatever they need to say to get clicks. Itās how they make money.
If you want trusted, credible information, you arenāt going to find that on social media. Itās a game of ālook at meā. It isnāt journalism. Itās nonsense. Or AI. Often both. Buy the damn phone and enjoy it! Let people have their 5 seconds of fame. The ones who didnāt break it will be returning the phone soon anyway now theyāve filmed their ācontentā.
The fact that people are creating fake AI videos to exaggerate the narrative of a few cracked Duo units is a real sign of the times. And most of the ādurability testsā are entertainment only. They shouldnāt be considered as serious or respectable reviews. If you want a Duo, ignore the nonsense and buy one.
Spent the weekend with the iPhone Duo. Hereās my first thoughts.
1ļøā£. Incredible. Love the design, the displays and canāt wait to see how it evolves. Optimised apps are fantastic. Patience is needed so donāt dive in right away unless youāre comfortable waiting for apps to be updated. Theyāre being patched fast but some will take a while.ļæ¼
9ļøā£. The crease is perceptually invisible 90% of the time. You donāt see it in the majority of situations. Especially when the display is on and youāre looking at it normally. If you tilt the phone then yes you can spot it at certain angles. Itās not a big deal. Especially compared to older folding phones.ļæ¼
