iPhone Duo Review: It’s Not the Next iPhone. (Video)
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Product Reviews, Videos,
For nine years, you've used every iPhone the same way, by swiping. The iPhone Duo, Apple's first foldable, changes that for only the second time, and it's the first time Apple rebuilt the hardware to do it. After a week with it, the Duo has a spot in my pocket. So does my Pro Max.

iPhone Duo Review + Pre-Order Problems with Andru Edwards | Power On with Mark Gurman (Video)
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Videos,
I've had an iPhone Duo for a week. Mark Gurman has a pre-order with a November ship date. That gap ran through most of our conversation when I joined Mark on Bloomberg's Power On podcast as his first outside guest, the week Apple's first foldable ships.
I Tested a Ridiculous Number of iPhone Duo Apps. Start Here. (Video)

Load a tape in Deck-Man, close your iPhone Duo, and the album starts playing. Open the phone and it stops, with clicks recorded from a real cassette player to sell the bit. I tested a ridiculous number of Duo apps ahead of launch, and these 25 are where I'd start on day one. The best fits are the ones that give the fold a job.

Apple HomeView Has a $299 Problem… (Video)
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smart Home, Videos,
Apple's new HomeView does two things I'd use every week: it holds a recipe while I cook, and it takes FaceTime calls so I don't have to prop up my phone. I tried it at Apple's Welcome Home event, and I get the appeal. Then I looked at how Apple priced the wall-mounted version, and the math stopped making sense.

The iPhone 18 Pro Camera Finally Breaks Its Biggest Rule (Video)
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cameras, Videos,
Every iPhone main camera before this one picked an aperture at the factory and lived with it forever. The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max get to change their minds. Six tiny laser-cut blades, controlled by a microscopic precision rotor, let the main camera physically switch between f/1.48, f/1.8, f/2.8, and f/4.0, reading the scene to decide in real time.

Apple Says Stores Have iPhone Duos Today. It Also Said Walk-In Stock Is Limited.
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones,
If you are weighing a drive to an Apple Store this morning for an iPhone Duo, Apple has given you two answers in the same week. Marketing chief Greg Joswiak told TechRadar that walk-in buyers should find phones waiting: "we didn't ship them all away during the pre-order, we have them available at the stores, we're excited." He added, "I'm sure we'll have some happy customers."
Days earlier, Apple told 9to5Mac that stores would have "limited" iPhone Duo availability for walk-in customers in the countries it listed, among them the US, the UK, Canada, Germany and Australia. Both of those are Apple's words, on the record, inside the same week. Neither one tells you how many phones are behind the counter at the store nearest you.
Apple Watch Series 12 Review: Too Intelligent? (Video)
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Wearables, Videos,
The Apple Watch Series 12 looks exactly like the Series 11: same size, same shape, and from across the room the only giveaway is a new finish. I've spent a couple of weeks wearing a dark bronze aluminum model and a Pearl White ceramic one, and nearly everything worth talking about sits on the side that touches your skin.

Talking App Store Indie Games Week with Apple - What You Need To Know! (Video)
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Video Games, Videos,
No Man's Sky runs on an iPhone 11. That's a seven-year-old phone running a procedurally generated universe, and it's the detail I kept coming back to when I sat down with Apple's Carson Oliver, head of the global App Store, and Sebastian Kriese, head of games business development, to talk about App Store Indie Games Week.
Leaked Photos Show LG’s Apple Home Cameras. Code in iOS 27.2 Names Schneider Electric Too.
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smart Home, Rumors,
Two leakers moved the Apple and LG home story along today, and Apple had nothing to do with it. Mark Gurman reported yesterday that Apple co-developed a line of home accessories with LG that will ship under LG's name. Today an X account called @ringo_tech posted images of four of them, and the leaker pdfu found code in iOS 27.2 that labels two Schneider Electric products the same way Apple's code labels the LG gear.
The photos will get the attention. The Schneider line in the code is the part I keep rereading. "Second-party" is Apple's own label inside its HomeKit database, and right now only the LG accessories and those two Schneider products carry it. The label reportedly means those accessories get special treatment from the operating system, which would put them in a tier between Apple's own hardware and the HomeKit gear anyone can build.
Apple’s Smart Home Push Reportedly Comes With LG’s Name on the Box
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smart Home, Rumors,
Apple's smart home plan is reportedly bigger than one hub, and a good chunk of it says LG on the box. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple worked with LG on a set of home accessories (a video doorbell, a deadbolt lock, a thermostat, indoor and outdoor cameras and a floodlight cam) that LG will sell under its own brand. The trail runs through LG's own regulatory paperwork, filed with the FCC and UL Solutions. Apple has confirmed none of it.
Seven accessories at once is a catalog. Apple spends years on one hub while a partner fills in the liability-heavy parts of a smart home: the thing bolted to your front door, the camera on your porch, the box wired into your furnace. If you have been waiting for Apple to care about your house beyond a speaker and a TV stick, this is roughly what that would look like.
