Just “went viral” on Reddit with an Apple Watch Ultra 4 review, not sure why…too bad Reddit isn’t monetized. Watch is pretty sweet

This is why the iPhone 12 and 13 mini were great. They fit perfectly in your hand. Bigger doesn't usually mean better. It's just impractical and even easier to get stolen too. A smaller device just makes more sense. Look at the older Nokia phones.

Apple wants the iPhone to prove a photo is real https://security.apple.com/blog/apple-reference-image/ "Reference Image" the new camera mode on the iPhone 18 Pro signs pixels directly within the sensor to combat AI-generated composites. However, its weak point emerges precisely in the photographs that matter most. Apple has detailed on its security blog how "Reference Image" works; it is an optional mode debuting on the main cameras of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Its goal is to prove that an image has neither been generated nor retouched using AI at a time when simply looking like a photograph no longer proves anything. In doing so, the company is distancing itself from the C2PA standard used by Nikon, Sony, Leica, Adobe, and Google (on the Pixel 10). According to Apple, that system adds provenance data after capture, leaving it vulnerable to undetected tampering.

Contrary to popular belief, the iPhone Duo isn’t named for its two screens, but because it’s the same shape as a duodenum. 🌈 💫 the more you know

Not pretending to know better than Apple’s entire market research team, but intuitively I don’t imagine the iPhone Duo selling like hot cakes in the $2–3.2K range. I’ll certainly need to revisit my priors about a bunch of things if it does.

The new iPhone Duo is not for me. Always preferred smaller phones. The iPhone 13 mini was just perfect at 5.4 inches. Fits perfectly in my hand. Likely that it didn’t kick off in sales and Apple just developed bigger phones moving forward. Main reason is that you dont need that much space. A phone is meant to have just the right size to do exactly one thing. Would be great if phones could be flexible or get it custom made. But that’s asking too much. For more space, it makes sense to simply buy a laptop.

inner screen is matte finished with a glossy underscreeen camera? Interesting… the matte finish makes the screen look very washed out https://x.com/ijustine/status/2097761832039571565?s=46&t=W7bPMXB_BVpjAZsKxVBhjQ
