Sold the Fold 7 today, moving back to the iPhone.
The Fold 7 had its moments, but when it comes to camera reliability, shutter response, and consistency across every single shot, nothing touches iOS. Form factor novelty wears off fast when you just need the shot to work.
Good run, but back to what works.
Tesla Sydney Alexandria just parked the Cybercab on the showroom floor.
Seeing it in press renders is one thing, but standing next to a vehicle with zero steering wheel, zero pedals and butterfly doors in local surroundings makes the regulatory and infrastructure hurdles here feel very immediate.
The hardware looks clean, though the real test remains how local road authorities will ever certify passenger transport without manual controls.
If you are nearby in South Sydney, it is well worth a look in person.
Are we looking at the actual future of urban transit in Australia, or an ambitious prototype years away from local signoff?
More videos of my experience to come.

It’s nothing like I planned, but watch along my Tesla delivery day!!

Tesla Cybercab lands in Sydney today as part of its national tour.
No pedals, no steering wheel, purely vision based autonomous architecture.
While it is strictly a static showroom display for now, it brings an uncomfortable conversation right to our doorstep: Australian Design Rules and local regulatory frameworks are nowhere near ready for driverless transport at scale.
Hardware is here. The legislation is lagging.
Who is heading in to inspect it in person this week?

Through the VOICE trial, Terry is using his Neuralink implant to help fine-tune a brain-to-voice interface for himself and others who can’t speak. He trained the algorithm first by miming speech as best he could, then by simply thinking the words and hearing them come out in his own natural voice.

Trying to find an iPhone 18 Pro Max right now is basically impossible. 📱❌ Lots of Pros but no Max in stock. No, I don't want 2TB.
Between the global DRAM shortages delaying production and everyone rushing for the Pro lineup this year, they are completely sold out everywhere.
Except for the pre-order folks, anyone managed to actually secure one (256/512gig) yet, or are we all stuck on backorder? 😭
Should've pre-ordered.

Similar to FSD v14.3.5, here is FSD v14.3.9 understanding hand gestures to slow down and stop for a fire truck reversing.
Alright. iPhone 18 Pros are here but the real excitement cannot come soon enough.

The gap between FSD Down Under and the US equivalent is shrinking fast.
v13.2.9 → ~18 weeks behind

Team’s cooking 🔥

No stock left of any iPhone 18 Pro Max 256/512gig in 250km radius from Sydney. Lol.
Vodafone/Optus/Telstra only have the 18 Pros. Wtf Apple.
People are lining up since 8am to collect their pre-orders. I did that for the original iPad and iPhone 3gs. Never again.
The ceramic shield 2 on my iPhone Air has been truly amazing. No screen protector or case for a year. Titanium looks so good and hasn’t dented or anything. I do not need to baby my devices anymore if Apple continues this titanium and ceramic shield for all future devices.
