This seems like it would never happen for 1,000 reasons but have to wonder if the Touch ID discourse continues if Apple considers adding HomeView-like facial recognition to the iPhone Duo with very specific parameters like requiring Touch ID or PIN hourly or some such.

The iPhone Duo has the best crease control among all foldables, and its nano texture finish effectively reduces glare. However, when displaying dark content under ambient light, the screen looks somewhat washed out or grayish compared to other foldables.

OpenAI has currently three different Reasoning menus in the ChatGPT iOS app.
Perhaps time to consolidate these instead of shipping new ones like Google messaging apps.

The two biggest Apple fumbles under John’s leadership so far:
1. Apple first said the new Photographic Styles is coming to iPhone 16 and 17 series. But later completely backtracked and made it exclusive to the 18 series.
2. They are keeping the new Readiness feature in watchOS exclusive to Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4. Even tho older watches are completely capable of calculating it.
Older models also support HRV, training load, vitals, sleep score, and other metrics they use to calculate readiness. They could’ve totally made it work.
I hope these decisions are not specifically from John and do not reflect what he’s gonna do at Apple in the coming years.

Apple just gets it man, I keep coming back to this video, I find it to be so inspiring, there’s something so effortless and beautiful about it.
Apple’s “Great ideas start on Mac”;
Such a tasteful little piece of filmmaking that captures the feeling of "wanting to do something" so well, it doesn’t romanticise the idea, it's not making it feel too forced, they just get it.

This iPhone Duo lock screen animation is exactly why android will never catch up to Apple. sure someone could copy it in two hours, but for 8 years nobody in the android world has even thought to try. that's the real gap.
Just something Samsung could never think of.
Apple's attention to detail and creativity adding a little nice touch to Under-Display Camera animation comparing to Samsung with it's stiff no animation.

The more iPhone Duo hands-on videos I watch, the more I feel that Samsung was just muddling through before Apple arrived.
Samsung has been making foldables for years, yet it never seems to have figured out what the experience should actually be like. Everything follows an engineering mindset: the screen folds, the features work, job done. But how much thought has gone into the transition between folded and unfolded, the little details of every interaction, and how it all actually feels to use?
Then Apple comes along, and suddenly you realize: a foldable can do this? It can feel like this? Things we had grown used to, and even accepted as inevitable, suddenly turn out to have so much room for improvement.
To me, Apple has both redefined the foldable and expanded our understanding of what one can be. That’s the difference between a great product and a mediocre one.
Now I look at the Galaxy Z Fold 8 in my hand, and it honestly looks like an idiot.
Samsung, please just stick to supplying hardware components. You really aren’t cut out to make software or finished consumer products.
