Apple has finally revealed the foldable iPhone Duo, the iPhone 18 Pro with variable aperture, more advanced Apple Watch models, and updated AirPods. Here's everything you need to know on the AppleInsider Podcast.
iPhone Duo is the star of the show with its folding inner display and small external display. There are compromises to make this size and form factor work, but perhaps not as many as there could have been.
There was some concern over whether MagSafe would even be included in the device, but it is there. However, you'll likely need specific accessories for it, as your MagSafe wallet and battery may not fit.
Even without variable aperture, it seems the iPhone Duo has an excellent camera system. The display technology should also mean very little issues with creasing over time.
It's Apple's most expensive iPhone to date, but it doesn't have "pro" features. It's a tough device to categorize, and your hosts reconcile what it means for Apple's lineup.
