1
All right, welcome back.
2
We, last but not least, we should talk about the new form factor of an iPhone for the first time since it was introduced in 2007.
3
There's a folding iPhone.
4
It was the one more thing, but it was literally the biggest thing at the event, which is hilarious, but I enjoyed that anyway.
5
So it's called iPhone Duo.
6
It starts at $2 ,000.
7
I think we guessed, maybe two episodes ago, how much we thought this phone would cost, and I think all of us were over.
8
Yeah, I think.
9
Well, there was one podcast episode.
10
I only know this because someone blue skied this at me, whatever that's called, skeeting.
11
Where they said, wow, David, you guessed the price correctly.
12
And I was like, I thought it was $2 ,400.
13
And then there was apparently an episode many weeks ago where I said $2 ,000.
14
Oh, all right.
15
Weeks or years ago.
16
It must have been a long time ago.
17
Because someone also tweeted us that I think the first waveform episode ever, we were talking about the iPhone Fold.
18
Really?
19
Something like that.
20
Wow.
21
Well, see, that's how long you've been waiting for this.
22
My expectations clearly creeped up, but the funny thing about this is it's still a $2 ,000 phone, but it feels affordable because of what we were expecting.
23
Yeah.
24
So the fundamentals of this phone are exactly what you've been seeing in the leaks and rumors.
25
It is a smaller passport -shaped book -style foldable.
26
It's a 5 .4 -inch display on the front.
27
It's a 1 by 1 .4 aspect ratio.
28
1 .4, I believe, notably, is the square root of 2, which is very important.
29
When you open it, it is a 7 .6 inch.
30
Oh, were you paying attention?
31
Yeah.
32
It's a 7 .6 inch display, which is a 1 .4 by 1 aspect ratio, but wide now.
33
Yeah.
34
They're both high refresh rate.
35
They're both bright.
36
The outside has a corner cutout.
37
There's no face ID.
38
There is just a touch ID power button.
39
The frame is titanium.
40
It's a little heavier than some other folds.
41
It's asymmetrical.
42
It is asymmetrical at the front.
43
this was a bigger deal to some
44
especially those who have used a bunch of foldables
45
that are now basically all rectangular screens but it's rounded on the right hand side and squared on the left hand side.
46
Do you think that's why they call it Duo?
47
I was waiting to ask.
48
Because it looks like a D?
49
It kind of does look like the letter D.
50
We didn't hear the rumor of Duo until last minute.
51
Yeah.
52
I tweeted last week, it's kind of crazy
53
that we don't know the name of this yet and every reply was like it's Ultra you idiot.
54
We've known this forever, it's Ultra.
55
Marquez shot a short last night right after a roll
56
and he goes like it's the iPhone Ultra
57
and puts it down like nailed that line And we all just pause for a minute.
58
What'd you just say?
59
I've been calling it the ultra in my head.
60
Yeah, so anyway, it is yeah it's that small it's small size 7 .6 inches open and
61
there are many many
62
Interesting little things about it
63
that are different from some of the other folders we have yeah The thing
64
that we've all been comparing it to in our heads is the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, which is also a small 5 .5 -inch screen when it's closed, and a 7 .5 -inch small rectangular screen when it's open.
65
Dual cameras, like same idea of a phone, but there are just a lot of little things that are different that we can sort of dive into each one.
66
I tend to think almost every little thing about the Fold is good and well -considered, and then there are just a small number of things that are a little odd to me.
67
Yeah.
68
So let's just talk about the things that are different.
69
Yeah.
70
Volume buttons are at the top of the phone.
71
Not sure how they landed on that, but they're at the top instead of the right hand side.
72
I think that's fine.
73
I think that means you go right for higher volume, left for lower volume.
74
Yeah.
75
I think that screams to me that this is a, like this is turns into an iPad.
76
Yeah.
77
It just really feels like an iPad when you do it.
78
Yeah.
79
Also on the outside of the phone, dual cameras.
80
So it's an ultra wide, which is the same as Z18 Pro and then a new 48 megapixel primary camera, which without much testing, I'm going to assume is on the same level as Samsung.
81
It's like a smaller sensor, but it's the primary sensor.
82
Because it is even thinner than the iPhone Air when it's open.
83
We're so confused.
84
All three of us who are in the hotel room watching the event wrote down 12 megapixel telephoto for that second time.
85
No, I figured it out after.
86
Yeah, during the keynote, they talk about that, but it's just a digital crop.
87
It's the same as the Air where it's a 48 megapixel main camera that then can be Binned.
88
Binned to a 12 megapixel telephoto.
89
Dude, I got fusioned.
90
Yeah, it's the fusion.
91
You got fused.
92
I got freaking fused.
93
You got con -fused.
94
I say the wrong thing.
95
Conned and it was about fusion.
96
Yeah.
97
I say the wrong thing on Man on the Street, like to four different people.
98
Oh, no. And I'm just going to look like a moron.
99
No, no, we both doubled down to like, no, we're pretty sure it's a standard in a telephoto.
100
I would have loved that, but no. Yeah.
101
Yeah, so that's that.
102
And like you point out, it is thinner than an iPhone when it is open.
103
So each half of it, sorry, iPhone Air, which is probably why they didn't have enough room for Face ID in the top of that thing.
104
And so they did the fingerprint reader power button.
105
I think it all confirms our thought of iPhone Air as like.. one of the new Fold that we're going to see.
106
It's like now we have two iPhone Airs with a haircut.
107
It even looks like it.
108
It looks just like it.
109
Can I tell you something that Marques told me on the way here that is a deal breaker?
110
Was it in confidence?
111
No. Okay.
112
I was going to say, do it anyways.
113
There's no action button.
114
That's crazy to me.
115
Yeah.
116
I don't use my action button as much as me.
117
I don't anymore.
118
What?
119
I used to use it more.
120
I was really into it the first year.
121
I mean maybe we'll get more into this later, but you use it a lot.
122
Well, when I had it on my phone, I used it all the time.
123
I ran my life through the action button.
124
Adam, you gonna buy a deal?
125
Not anymore.
126
I need the action button.
127
That's like what I miss most about iOS was the action button.
128
Very interesting. And shortcuts.
129
Okay. But anyway.
130
Can we talk about some of the software in the closed mode?
131
I thought it was really interesting to do the dock on the right.
132
Yes.
133
Why do I keep forgetting the name of the, like your Wi -Fi, your status icons, right? are all in this single button now.
134
They do a lot of cool software stuff in liquid glass that right aligns everything.
135
Sounds like you're going to cut me off here.
136
I thought it was a button too.
137
It's not a button.
138
It looks like a button.
139
I pressed it many times.
140
It doesn't do anything.
141
It's round.
142
You slide down.
143
I know it looks like a button.
144
But when you slide down from the corner, then it expands and everything pushes down.
145
I think you should be able to press it like a button.
146
It's a button.
147
It looks like a button.
148
My thumb is attracted to it like a...
149
There's about 15 seconds of clips of me in 8K pressing it and nothing happening.
150
I'm like, why is this not a button?
151
Yeah.
152
Yeah.
153
I have so many thoughts on the dock thing.
154
Dock on the right.
155
God.
156
Okay.
157
So it's such a good idea.
158
Unless you're lefty.
159
Unless you're left -handed.
160
In which case, become right -handed.
161
You're holding it.
162
You're holding it wrong.
163
Can you not just like hold it upside down?
164
That's what Marques said.
165
Yeah.
166
I don't know.
167
Then your selfie camera's on the bottom.
168
Okay.
169
Okay.
170
Wait.
171
I have to talk about this.
172
I have to talk about this.
173
Okay, talk about the dock.
174
This is what I like so much.
175
Okay, macOS has a dock on the bottom, right?
176
It is this area that you can technically use.
177
If you use the full screen button, if you use the big green button, it fills the entire screen, full screen, whatever.
178
But generally, most of the time, windows and tabs and whatever are sitting above the dock.
179
So it's this little area that's reserved for, you know, switching apps, doing these things, whatever.
180
It's reserved.
181
that's exactly what they did on the duo is
182
that they left this little margin on the side of the screen
183
that basically is a dock
184
which you can only have four icons i wish you could have more apps whatever really bummed about
185
that but it makes it really easy to uh to switch apps
186
if you're right -handed um and when you're when you have apps open
187
and stuff like that all of apple's apps have now been redesigned to make it
188
so all the toggles and stuff are on that side as well
189
something I noticed when I was using it is like a lot of notifications
190
and stuff do not feel centered like they would on a
191
regular iPhone where it comes in from center they're slightly to the left
192
and at first your brain is like this is kind of weird
193
because it's offset
194
but you eventually kind of start to understand like oh this
195
whole second this whole side of the phone is just for interacting with you know what I'm getting flashbacks to?
196
what? the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge oh yeah with the remember that phone? the stock ticker?
197
It was just a regular phone, rectangular, but then peeling off the right hand side of the phone was this little extra margin,
198
which was like kind of a launcher and a clock and you could put little tickers in there.
199
Yeah.
200
Interesting.
201
But that phone was terrible to use.
202
It was.
203
No, you're right.
204
It almost makes the actual content on the front fold a
205
little more normal in terms of aspect ratio of a regular because you just have this extra room for stuff.
206
It would be awesome if the dock could be way bigger because you're dedicated in that room.
207
But yeah, little buttons will come up, different things depending on what app you're in will all come right aligned.
208
And like, I'm sorry, software developers, because you're going to have to make an iPhone do a
209
version of every version of your app with all the like buttons and stuff.
210
But in the way that John Ternus like kind of describes what smartphones are now as a intelligent personal hub.
211
Again, I love this idea that like it's a computer that you carry with you in your hand and in your pocket.
212
And because of that, you have a dock you have a usable area
213
and you have a dock area
214
and I just think that's a really cool way to like rethink the idea of like a PDA
215
or a smartphone
216
that no one else has really done yet there's any way
217
to hide the dock I couldn't find any dock customization they're using all
218
that if they're dedicating that space
219
so then it would just be yeah empty yeah you can make it like like an app full screen
220
or something yeah like you know how on Mac we can just
221
when the dock is hidden right yeah yeah every app opens full screen
222
but as soon as you go home the dock comes in
223
from the right yeah this is this is apple okay it's a computer
224
but it's not like a computer exactly yeah i don't know
225
yeah i don't know it's kind of like the same way on android phones
226
or at least foldables they slide the dock in from the bottom and then you open an app it hides
227
We've just gotten used to that coming up from the bottom because that's where docks usually are.
228
But this one's on the right.
229
It's more reachable.
230
Yeah.
231
I want more customization of that dock. For sure.
232
100%.
233
100%.
234
So, yeah, that's really nice.
235
Yeah.
236
You open the phone.
237
You get this big, not huge, but bigger iPad mini type internal OLED display.
238
And, by the way, the iPad mini is not OLED.
239
It's just this is the nicest 7 .5 -inch Apple display.
240
Yeah. And...
241
You're talking about the animation?
242
Yeah.
243
It's so good.
244
I know.
245
It is maybe the most important piece of software on this phone.
246
Which is so weird to say.
247
Every time I get excited about this, I feel like I'm a shill.
248
I literally can't think about it without being like someone's going to yell at me about thinking that.
249
It's such a basic thing, but for some reason, it's the most delightful possible thing.
250
It does spark joy.
251
People were describing it as gradienting out, but when you really look at it, So when it's closed and it opens,
252
it's essentially leaving the screen behind and getting out of focus.
253
Right.
254
And then because the screen feels like it stays there as you turn and see the screen on the interior, it's the same screen.
255
And you're like, whoa.
256
And as you're opening it fully, you're starting to see the screen that's invisible.
257
That's it.
258
And it snaps.
259
It makes you believe it makes you believe that it's a real glass window.
260
Yeah.
261
Yeah.
262
That you are just like moving this glass.
263
And for some reason, the in -between animation
264
that your eyes are collecting is like as you're moving it and seeing that icon still being there, it just makes it feel like you're opening a glass.
265
Whoever was in charge of this animation cooked, I think this animation is really important for several reasons.
266
One is you use the word glass, which is like liquid glass kind of falls into this, so that's convenient for them
267
but two is it intuitively gives you a little bit more of an understanding of the continuity that's happening, which is when you're closed, you have the thing that's on the single screen.
268
When you open it, you kind of get an idea of I am extending something to the left of my current screen.
269
So I'm like adding to the left.
270
So when it's open, whatever is on that right -hand screen, when you close it from the left, you are aware that that is what's going to stay on the screen.
271
It's still there.
272
Yes, the continuity.
273
So it's intuitive, but it helps you to understand what you're going to get when you close it. And it's very fast.
274
And this, I didn't expect to hit me as hard as it did, but a lot of foldables, I've been using these for years, and Dave Tudy talked about this in his video, but we've just gotten used to there being a little bit of a delay.
275
When you close a foldable, there's just a beat, and then it's ready to go.
276
And you open it, and there's a beat, and it's ready.
277
And there's just a little beat.
278
And sometimes there's like a fun animation, like butterfly wings or whatever, on your wallpaper or something.
279
but this one by the time I like swivel it open
280
as fast as I can like the inside screen is already open
281
and by the time I close it by the time I
282
start to see the outside screen it's already on it's
283
so cool so it's a really fast animation yeah I will not lie
284
and say I didn't see any bugs I did see some foldables bug out in the hands -on area
285
and bug out as we were testing them yeah
286
and I imagine this is a really hard animation to make it work perfectly every time but for all of those reasons, I really want it to work perfectly every time because it's really good.
287
So that is like the thing.
288
I posted a short of it.
289
It's like the thing that helps you understand what's different about this foldable.
290
Everyone appreciates that.
291
It had like 20 million views by the end of last week.
292
It literally has 20 million views on Twitter.
293
My entire feed was just UX designers losing their minds.
294
By the time I think I had gotten back from recording pod, the top comment on the Galaxy subreddit was, why can't Samsung do this? and by the time I woke up this morning,
295
someone already put the animation on a Samsung phone.
296
Yeah, which is, I want to see how well that works because if that's a third party, like how do they do that?
297
It's definitely a third party.
298
And is it going to work?
299
Perfect.
300
Yeah, it's not.
301
It's not built.
302
It was cool.
303
It's still cool though.
304
Yeah, and it makes sense to me why we knew everything about the Duo's hardware
305
but we had no idea how the software was going to work.
306
Like Apple keeps that on lock because this is the stuff
307
that actually separates them from those other companies and makes people like them
308
and the intuitiveness the other super intuitive thing
309
that I thought was really cool is when you open the device
310
and you know you get the same continuity of the display from the front camera
311
and then you sort of extend it to the left normally
312
on your phone you have multiple like home screens right you swipe to the right you swipe to the left
313
and it shifts everything and it's like oh we're on a new page new page new page
314
but on the duo when you have it open and you swipe to the right or you swipe to the left, everything kind of just flows.
315
And so it's almost as if there's one big homepage that you can't see.
316
It's a big canvas of pages.
317
You're just moving, you're like shifting the canvas back and forth.
318
And the way that the animation works makes it feel like there's
319
just all of these apps that are sitting on your screen and widgets and whatever.
320
And you're kind of just like shifting the page back and forth.
321
Wait, so the home screen scrolls instead of being paginated?
322
Yes, it scrolls instead of paginated.
323
Well, no, no, it is paginated well
324
but it the animation as you move between pages helps you to understand that they are like separate.
325
So like on a Oppo Find N6 you swipe and all of it moves at once.
326
Yeah.
327
But on the Neo, or sorry, the Duo, on the Duo you swipe and like page, page.
328
Yeah, it's like...
329
And that little set, that little distinction helps you understand that there's another page here and there's another page here.
330
So it's a clever...
331
It's a subtle animation flow but it feels really cool.
332
And even when you swipe into the app drawer, it's not like, oop, we're on the app drawer page.
333
It's like the app drawer flows in on the right side and flows back out.
334
The app will do flow.
335
Yeah.
336
It's kind of hard to explain, but I think when we get it on video, it'll be easier to see.
337
Definitely.
338
Yeah.
339
But yeah, that inside screen, man, it is really good.
340
Really, really good.
341
So the two things that make it great, one is it has this, they call it a nanotexture finish,
342
but it's some sort of an anti -glare finish on top that makes it both really, really good at rejecting reflections, really good at hiding the crease,
343
and really smooth to the touch with your finger as you actually scroll.
344
And yeah, this is one of the least crease -visible foldables ever.
345
It's not invisible, but on the scale of first -gen foldables to today's foldables,
346
like with N6, this is right next to N6 with Best I've Ever Seen.
347
Yeah.
348
You can run your finger over it and feel it a little bit, but it's pretty close to not there.
349
It's smart.
350
I mean, like, we've gotten to the point, enough companies have made folding phones, creases have been getting better, but the number one way to see a crease is a weird light reflection.
351
Cut light reflections out, crease kind of goes away.
352
There are always going to, it is anti -reflection, still has reflections in some spots.
353
I see people clipping out one frames out of everyone's video like, oh my God, there's a giant crease in that.
354
It's like, you are going to see it at some point on any phone.
355
I don't know if we will ever get past that.
356
But it's a smart move.
357
And as you look at content on the display, the bezels are even all the way around.
358
There is a under -display selfie camera, so it's uninterrupted.
359
But it looks mostly uninterrupted, so it looks really, really good.
360
Now, you want to talk about that camera?
361
Nailed the crease.
362
That camera did not nail it.
363
Real quick on the crease before we get there.
364
They are using a titanium backplate and that was Samsung's big innovation in the full day, too.
365
Yeah, I heard them helps get rid of the crease a little bit.
366
I also heard and maybe I'm making this up in my head.
367
I heard carbon fiber back structures or something like that.
368
There's a lot of engineering in the hinge that I might not be coding perfectly.
369
And there's like 10 layers of display panel as well that they use.
370
So anyway, we can get to the under display camera now.
371
Yeah.
372
Okay.
373
So they do have the selfie camera on the front display.
374
It's a corner cut out.
375
And they do have when you open it up on the right hand side, top middle, behind those pixels is an under display selfie camera.
376
We've seen this before.
377
Okay in Samsung foldables.
378
They've tried this for a couple generations
379
and the idea was that they have this pixel matrix that has gaps between pixels and they have to,
380
yeah, they have to shine those pixels twice as bright when the display is on, because it's half as many pixels.
381
But it does a decent job at sort of like covering the hole.
382
And then when you actually open the camera, it blacks out all those pixels and the camera can see through it.
383
But it doesn't look great.
384
No, no. Those pixels...
385
Yeah, the...
386
Well, I don't actually...
387
I guess I don't mind as much the slightly pixelated look.
388
I wanted to ask you, I talked about David, with David in the car this morning.
389
I've seen some videos where I don't notice...
390
Pre -like it activating, just when you're using the interior screen.
391
I've seen some videos where I don't notice it.
392
I've seen some videos where I can't not see it.
393
And it's very annoying.
394
Like, it's very visible.
395
I was...
396
I said to David, it reminds me of like, if you take two colors of paint that are very contrasty, they look like they should be apart.
397
When you take two colors of paint that are supposed to be the same color but are off, it's infuriating.
398
So like once you see that and you know it's supposed to be hidden, but you can see it, it's really frustrating and it's really obvious.
399
It's one of those things where I wonder how much it being on camera
400
and like the more of like those pixels being in focus is like amplifying it a little bit.
401
In person, I didn't mind it so much.
402
What I am more bummed about is how bad it makes the footage from the camera look.
403
Now, this is, to be fair, probably the least used camera on the device.
404
Like, you'll use it for some FaceTimes and maybe for some selfies if you really want to.
405
I have a sample video from it in my hands -on video where you can tell.
406
Yeah, it's not great.
407
It doesn't look that good.
408
It's easy, for sure.
409
But like I said, we had this years ago.
410
Samsung tried this.
411
They never really got dramatically better.
412
And then they just stopped.
413
And they just started doing the hole punch cutout again.
414
And everyone was fine with it and it looks like a good quality camera again.
415
And now Apple's doing it and it doesn't look that much better.
416
Like we see a lot of new things.
417
Apple waits till the right moment, jumps in, does it their way.
418
This isn't like better than Samsung's version.
419
So I wonder how long this lasts.
420
Personally, I prefer this to a giant cutout.
421
Really?
422
A giant cutout?
423
I never wanted Samsung to go back to the regular camera.
424
Interesting.
425
Because I think Apple thinks this way too, where they're like, we would prefer that we have this mostly uninterrupted interior display.
426
It's more magical.
427
Yeah, and then when you do use the camera, it shows up, but you just generally don't.
428
And even if you did for like FaceTime or whatever, who cares about like if it's like ultra sharp for FaceTime?
429
You know, it's like the Zoom camera.
430
It's the FaceTime camera.
431
I think it's like one of those things though that maybe it's not perfectly sharp, but now the more variables you introduce into it, like weird lighting conditions, I'm assuming are going to be affected even stranger than it.
432
So like if you FaceTime outside, is now the whole thing going to be crazy washed out?
433
Yeah, it is hazy.
434
The more variables, it's kind of like how we'd say, oh, you can take a photo on the iPhone 1 in good lighting and it's going to look great.
435
We think, I thought it used to be bad.
436
It's the variables.
437
And now we have a camera that's like, it can handle anything, and that doesn't feel like it's going to handle.
438
In low light, this is probably going to be really bad.
439
Awful.
440
Like, especially bad.
441
Some of the first -gen under -display selfie cameras, when I take a photo in the office, the overhead lights would get, like, doubled because the pixels,
442
you could see the pixels through.
443
It looked like you were looking from behind the screen.
444
I remember this.
445
It was bad.
446
And I, you know, we'll take this into other conditions.
447
Apple's perfectly lit environment revealed that it looked meh, but we'll see.
448
I think that they just think about what is the amount of time
449
that people spend using the screen versus using the camera on the interior of the screen
450
Which is probably the calculus they did and they're like people almost never use this camera Let's make it look better.
451
That's my argument to get rid of it.
452
Get rid of entirely.
453
Get rid of the inside.
454
You can't FaceTime That's fine.
455
Close the phone.
456
It's a duo.
457
It does make sense to FaceTime with that interior because now you have bigger screens of the other people Yeah, but if I'm opening up the thing, it's because I want to watch something more than I want to be a part of...
458
You want to watch another person's face?
459
No, I'm not going to open it up to like...
460
Yeah, but they have to see you.
461
Yeah, close it, I mean.
462
Like, use the phone closed with the front camera.
463
Yeah, but what if you have two people...
464
What if there's three people on FaceTime?
465
Now you can see their face is better because it's a bigger screen.
466
Everyone's been getting along fine with their regular phones.
467
That doesn't mean we can't do things better.
468
What about the FaceTime where you tilt it halfway
469
and it's pointed at you from across the room and you prop it up?
470
That's cute.
471
That's real cute, but yeah my argument I agree inside screen is for watching things
472
and doing things And if they want to make the hit take the hit
473
and like just remove the inside camera and be like the inside screen Is perfect because it's beautiful.
474
It's like the nano texture is sick.
475
It's like a great display.
476
Yeah, just remove the camera.
477
It's fine So we have all three of all three spectrums we have make it a whole bunch cut out.
478
I think it's fine get rid of it entirely Yeah, so let us make it crumple Yeah.
479
Yeah.
480
I also think because we have the nanotexture on the rest of the display and you don't see any reflections, that portion does reflect more light.
481
Like if you like tilt the phone in different directions, the rest of the phone is like not really reflecting that much, but you see it more because it catches more light.
482
Yeah.
483
So, you know, I don't know.
484
It's not a huge deal.
485
You can now use the Apple Pencil with USB -C on both the outside and the inside.
486
Yeah.
487
Not yet.
488
Later this year.
489
You will be able to wait only the USB -C one you can't use Apple until 2 .0 Okay, the reason for this almost definitely is
490
because you have to be able to charge the pencil
491
and Apple is so scared of Selling people pencils that only magnetically charged to iPads that you can't charger.
492
You can't Yeah, the only you mean like a separate dock charger.
493
Yes, I guess but Yeah, I guess you could they could just sell us new chargers
494
It's a piece of plastic with a magnet in it like this is not rocket They could easily sell the Pro.
495
I mean, it is annoying that you can't use the Pencil Pro on the Pro, like the big iPhone.
496
But I think they're just afraid of selling people a thing.
497
I think that is it.
498
It just stinks for someone who has an iPad already and maybe is carrying it.
499
And that's where it's charging.
500
You could pop it off and use it on your phone instead.
501
Something that's cool, someone brought an iPad mini to the demo area to show the difference.
502
The size is barely different of the actual display.
503
but it makes the iPad Mini look like it's 20 years old.
504
Because of the bezels.
505
They gotta refresh the iPad Mini.
506
They have to refresh it.
507
The iPad Mini is one of the most neglected, high potential products.
508
I love mine.
509
But what if it had an - It's the only Apple thing I own in it.
510
I got my dad one too.
511
I love the iPad Mini, but what if it was an OLED
512
and had like a really nice screen with an anti -reflective finish and like inner bezels?
513
He recognizes you every five seconds.
514
Oh, hey, look, you got an iPhone Duo.
515
Look, it's iPhone Duo.
516
It would look great.
517
The hinge is broken.
518
How long do you think we have to go before someone attempts to fold an iPad Mini and thinking it's a duo.
519
Jarek, everybody, he's going to do it.
520
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
521
IP68, fully dust and water resistant.
522
Second foldable with IP68.
523
Pixel 10 Pro Fold and this.
524
11 Pro Fold, too.
525
Oh, 10 Pro Fold and...
526
10 Pro Fold was the first one.
527
Yeah, and 11 Pro Fold.
528
And now this.
529
One other thing, if we're speaking about Zach, is they had a very specific part where they mentioned the antenna parts
530
and that they were reinforced because they looked very similar to where the Pixel Fold antennas are, which is where Zach keeps snapping them,
531
but they specifically said there's reinforcements in those antennas.
532
That's going to be one of the hardest videos to watch, dude.
533
When he puts sand in that thing, oh my god.
534
I mean it always is for any phone.
535
And you know you're gonna watch it too.
536
With the new YouTube views, that's a 75 million view video.
537
You snap that in half.
538
Yeah, that's true.
539
Okay, so they've got two colors.
540
They have like this pearlescent white, which...
541
The best color.
542
Eh.
543
And then they had like a midnight blue.
544
What was it called?
545
Black.
546
Sunset.
547
No, it's like night sky.
548
Night sky.
549
Something like that.
550
I'm gonna just look at it.
551
They rhymed when they said both of them together.
552
Yeah.
553
Oh, pearl.
554
Yeah, oh yeah.
555
Starlight Night Sky.
556
Yeah, Starlight Night Sky.
557
Nice Sky is the better color.
558
This is like a Jeopardy question.
559
Starlight Night Sky iPhone Duo.
560
No, it's Star White.
561
Star White.
562
Star White.
563
Star Light is like the yellowy Macbook color.
564
Why would they do that?
565
Star White and Starlight?
566
That's confusing.
567
And then they went with Burgundy.
568
Hey.
569
Wine barrel.
570
Look, for a first gen, I'm going to call this first gen. For a first gen foldable from Apple,
571
I think they overall did a pretty good job.
572
I mentioned that there are things I don't like.
573
I don't love that it's only four items in the dock.
574
Like, let me put five or six.
575
Like, let me customize that more.
576
I don't love that it's only two cameras, but that's about as good as it's gotten for this form factor.
577
Like, the big Ultra one has had triple cameras, but this isn't the big Ultra one.
578
Yeah.
579
I think $2 ,000 is a pretty good price.
580
I just, I, yeah, I think the animations in the software would really make this phone.
581
Yes.
582
Speaking of the software, there's a few things that I want to talk about with it.
583
Um, they obviously had to bring more use cases to the fold to actually entice people to have the fold.
584
Some of them are a little silly.
585
Some of them are kind of intuitive.
586
Some of them are things that the Android manufacturers have done that are either good or bad.
587
One of them is kind of weird and interesting is you can now, you know, standby mode.
588
Don't talk bad about standby mode.
589
Why?
590
Because it's the greatest feature Apple has ever released.
591
I didn't say it was bad.
592
You said it was weird.
593
Okay, your implementation is kind of weird.
594
It's awesome.
595
Do you remember the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i?
596
The tent mode?
597
The first foldable laptop or at least 360 hinge laptop.
598
Your point David?
599
Don't talk bad about my house.
600
The new alarm clock thing, the tent mode with the underglow.
601
Beautiful.
602
It's cool.
603
Okay, so here's what this is.
604
You can put it in tent mode.
605
It's weird that we put everything in tent mode.
606
Go on.
607
You got a big clock on the right, you got a big time, and then you got a little calendar.
608
And you don't need to be charging it now because it can go down as low as one hertz.
609
So now you can just have it on your bedside table.
610
Don't forget the glow.
611
What do you mean the glow?
612
It wakes you up with a soft underglow.
613
Yes.
614
The inside screen can glow.
615
Okay, that's actually kind of cool.
616
It's sick.
617
Because the Philips Hue lamp and stuff, they have sunrise lamps, and their whole thing is that there's a glow next to your face.
618
I don't know how much that's going to do.
619
It costs a lot of money.
620
It looks cool.
621
It looks cool.
622
Are you going to tent mode all the time, Ellis?
623
I don't think I want to buy one.
624
Yes. But yeah.
625
Yesterday, when we recorded our podcast yesterday, he was like, we were talking to a guest came on and he goes, oh, tent mode is so sick.
626
I do really hope they make a stand that's a wireless charger that you could put stand mode on and she goes, how would that work?
627
And it would charge from the inside.
628
Yeah, how would that work?
629
Yeah, you'd have to, you can slap it.
630
By the way, it doesn't have MagSafe.
631
So you, you, you, you can put a camera that sees light through the screen, but God forbid a little wireless electricity goes through that thing.
632
Well, it'd have to, it's like a big, there's a lot of Z dimension.
633
There's a lot between that coil.
634
Yeah, there's a lot.
635
They have a trillion dollars.
636
They have five trillion dollars.
637
Let's be clear.
638
They'll figure it out.
639
OK.
640
So other little changes.
641
They did the thing that we've done since the beginning of time with foldables that I just don't really understand, where you can have the big video playing back when it's sideways,
642
or you can fold it 90 degrees, and then there's playback controls, and the video is smaller.
643
I've never done that much.
644
I have no idea why people care about this.
645
Just use the example of a live stream with chat on the bottom.
646
That makes way more sense.
647
Maybe you do want to read the chat on the bottom.
648
You see the Netflix version?
649
Yeah.
650
This is a very specific to Netflix implementation.
651
Yeah.
652
So the Netflix app, you fold it halfway.
653
The top half is playing your video.
654
The bottom half is generating...
655
Like a glowy diffused reflection of the bottom of your video so that you can kind of it feels immersive
656
It's like those TV lights that you can have that like exactly exactly exactly like that Cool cool,
657
I guess yeah It's very weird first thing I asked was can I turn that off?
658
Yeah, that's weird Yeah, and then they have a feature
659
that I think a lot of other foldables have where it's basically universal copy paste between apps which is cool.
660
So you can have two apps open
661
and you can do the thing where you can like press
662
and hold on an image and it'll cut it out and you can drag it into another thing.
663
I don't know how many people are going to use this.
664
They always use like Keynote as an example, which is a piece of software that I've never known a single person that has.
665
This is more for like emails or texting for me.
666
Yeah, yeah.
667
Emails and texting is really nice because so you have your email open
668
and you've got an image and you want to text it to someone.
669
You can just drag it.
670
I also found it super useful for two -factor.
671
Yeah.
672
Open up off the left and then just drag it over.
673
And these are things that every other foldable has had for a very long time.
674
So they're doing all that stuff.
675
They just also implemented the small things like the tent mode, which is strange.
676
My takeaway from my very limited brief early hands -on, and this comes out in October, so we'll have a month or two on this,
677
but I'm used to using the Z Fold 8
678
and the latest generations of foldables from other companies and they all feel very, to me, very intentional.
679
I get that phone and when I open it up, I'm deciding to be productive with it and that's like an event and then I close it and it's over.
680
But the duo feels a little playful.
681
It feels like it's way more willing to go back and forth between open and close.
682
The animations are very thoughtful.
683
It feels more fun to use despite being not any more functional.
684
They heard LSA, there's no more whimsy in tech and that animation had some We got a little hint of it.
685
It did.
686
Also, it uses the new C2 modem, which is supposed to be faster, C1X.
687
It adds 5G millimeter wave for people who care, which is one person.
688
It has 50 % charge in 20 minutes, which is nice.
689
It's fairly quick.
690
All day battery.
691
All day battery life, baby.
692
They got a trademark.
693
24 hours of charge when using both skeins equally.
694
Which looks, the interior display is always going to use a lot more power.
695
So I'm at least glad that they give us these averages.
696
I need to test.
697
That's kind of nice.
698
I don't know how to use that number.
699
The numbers were, I appreciated them giving us more numbers, but they were kind of confusing.
700
They are confusing.
701
Also, it's eSIM only worldwide, which is a little bit different because usually European models of iPhone Pros have eSIM.
702
Yeah.
703
I mean, have them on physical basis.
704
Try to max out the battery.
705
That's about it.
706
Yeah.
707
So it comes out October 23rd with pre -orders on a tour 16th and again, 1999.
708
Oh.
709
Wow.
710
What just happened?
711
We missed you.
712
Where'd I go?
713
You time traveled because somebody hit the like button on this clip.
714
Oh my god.
715
I have the iPhone fold in my pocket.
716
Does that mean they unliked it? That means...
717
No, it just means they liked it.
718
Oh.
719
How many views does that have?
720
Thousands more than it usually does.

Who Will Benefit from This Video?
This video is perfect for intermediate English learners aiming to improve conversational fluency and understand casual tech discussions. The dialogue features natural back-and-forth, making it ideal for practicing listening comprehension and shadowing—key for mastering real-world communication. Whether you’re into gadgets or just want to sound more like a native, the relaxed tone and mix of technical terms and everyday speech offer great practice material.
Words & Idioms Worth Stealing
- Form factor: The physical design or shape of a device. "The new iPhone’s form factor is a folding design."
- Last but not least: Said when mentioning the final item in a list, which is still important. "We covered specs, price, and last but not least, the camera."
- Creeped up: To gradually increase. "My expectations for the price creeped up over time."
- Blue skied (casual): To send a message via a social platform (similar to "tweeted"). "Someone blue skied me about the price guess."
How to Get the Accent Right
Focus on the speaker’s relaxed, conversational rhythm. Notice how "literally" and "hilarious" are stressed for emphasis—copying this intonation will make your speech sound more natural. For shadowing practice, use a shadowing app to repeat short segments: pay attention to the reduction of "it was" to "it’s" in fast speech, and the way "asymmetrical" is pronounced with stress on the second syllable (a-sym-MET-ri-cal). Practice mimicking the pauses between thoughts, like after "Yeah, I think"—this helps with fluency. Shadow speech exercises with this video will also improve your ability to follow casual discussions, a key skill for real-life interactions. Remember, consistent shadowing (even 5 minutes a day) is the best way to refine your pronunciation and sound more like a native.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
