The MacRumors Show: iPhone Duo Arrives, Touchscreen MacBooks Next
The MacRumors Show discussed the mixed reception of the newly released iPhone Duo. This foldable device features a matte inner display that reduces reflections and a less noticeable crease, enhancing multitasking. While its premium build and performance are praised, the software experience with unoptimized apps presents challenges. Reviewers are divided on the practicality of the outer screen for quick tasks and the device's overall comfort for everyday use. The weight, width, and return to Touch ID also require adjustment. Camera quality falls short of Apple's Pro models, despite the appeal of side-by-side multitasking. The podcast teased an upcoming "Pro and tell" event on October 28, expected to unveil redesigned MacBook Pros with OLED touchscreens and Dynamic Islands. A redesigned iPad mini with an OLED display and other upgrades is also anticipated. Additionally, the M6 chip is rumored for the iMac and entry-level MacBook Pro. The original iPod's 25th anniversary was also noted. The MacRumors Show offers episodes on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other platforms. Previous episodes covered HomeView, HomePod mini 2, and Apple TV 4K predictions.
