iPhone Duo starts at $1999. $3,199 for the 2TB. Most people will probably go with the 512 GB for $200 more.

Edit: The Duo 1TB costs more than the MacBook Pro I bought last year with 1TB of storage, M4 Pro, and 24GB of RAM.

I have higher hopes for the iPhone Duo than the Apple Vision Pro, even though they're both overpriced. The Duo actually seems more interesting and certainly carries more utility by virtue of being an iPhone. The Vision Pro is stunning for all of a week or two, and then you just switch back to TV/MacBook/iPad/whatever screen works best for you and never pick it up again. It's just boring.

Anyone wanna debate me on this?

That does make sense, its biggest thing is being nice and pocketable with a bigger screen on the inside. It’s the same form factor as the Huawei Puta X and it’s a sin that nobody else brought that form factor to North America. It’s got an ebook sized screen on the inside which will be awesome.

The only thing is that the cost is a bit much for me, but I predicted that when the rumors of a folding iPhone first came out.

Edit: oh it’s bigger than I thought. Basically an iPad Mini you can stick in your pocket. Neat.

Both are niche products aimed at the Apple power user TBH.
 
This is exactly what I wanted. But there’s simply no way i’m buying this thing until we get durability reports, especially not the first gen lmao

The jerryrigs episode is going to be great
If they're buying the display assemblies from Samsung it'll be the 9th generation of that screen type but Yeah I want to see how it shakes out.

You should look up the term “Halo Product”, it would educate you.
 
The 18 pro max still has the same large "dynamic island" that hurts the viewing experience more than shitty androids with hole punch selfie cameras. Goycattle will celebrate Apple releasing essentially the same fucking phone for the 4th time in a row (BUT GUYS THIS TIME IT HAS A BETTER CAMERA AND MORE PERFORMANCE!).

I guess it's my fault for wishing Apple could revolutionize again and make a product that changes the entire industry.

Does Siri have built in pronoun recognition and trans validation protocols? If not then I will not be buying this.
 
iPhones are for hipster faggots and kids who need to have the latest fucking device to drain all their attention into. You wanna know what cell phone I have?

Not my actual phone, but mine's a similar looking dirty old prepaid phone from the 2000's that I've held onto for 20 years. I also have an android phone that I use for surfing the internet because I don't need a big computer.
