As my house becomes increasingly strewn with the detritus of parenting, I’ve made the inverse effort to eliminate excess, physical and digital, from my life. As much as it is about control, it’s also about mental health; I already use my phone too much, so adding yet another thing to the backpack, to the pocket, feels anything but additive.

Magnetic battery banks aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s hard to argue with the convenience factor they deliver. Samsung’s camera design already makes these difficult on Galaxy devices, but Galaxy Z Fold 8 only makes matters worse with a short form factor that leaves battery banks hanging way over the edge. iPhone Duo might help matters here, but the same old problem remains.

Good morning, how did you sleep? Me, I had trouble until I started counting the number of times Apple used the word “AI” in its keynote (it was 41). In my dream, I was inundated with Elizabeth Holmes deepfakes and memes, which startled me awake. As I lay in bed, I calmed down by reading about how AI will “kill us all by the end of the decade,” and then I got up and helped ChatGPT do my kids’ homework. Such a great day.

Apps have always been a problem for foldable displays and, while they’ve gotten a lot better, there’s always room for improvement. Apple was already going to hold an advantage here, as we’ve previously discussed, but a moment during the iPhone Duo’s unveiling sticks out – Apple made fun of how Android foldables sometimes letterbox apps on the inner display, but it turns out that iOS does exactly the same thing.

The days of foldables being an Android-only experience are over. The iPhone Duo is set to arrive next month for a relatively-competitive $2,000 price point, and it seems like Apple’s decision to sit back and observe since the launch of the original Galaxy Fold more or less paid off — that is, until you consider the iPhone Duo’s size and shape.
