Okay Sam. Billions of dollars sitting in your bank account is also wasteful. That money belongs in our individual bank accounts.
While it looks and feels extremely premium, as it should at this price point, the overall software experience is good, apart from the unoptimised apps, which I feel will eventually get optimised. Nevertheless, here are my major gripes with it:
1. No Face ID.
I never thought I would miss Face ID this much. I mean, don’t get me wrong, Touch ID works flawlessly every single time, but it will take some time to get used to if you’re coming from a regular iPhone, since it adds an extra step: placing your finger on the power button.
2. Cameras… How do I put it?
They’re okay-ish for a foldable phone but pretty average for a phone priced this high. I miss my telephoto camera. And don’t even get me started on the 4MP under-display potato camera.
3. Volume buttons on the top.
Why, Apple, why? I’m happy to sacrifice the Camera Control button to have the volume controls on the right side.
4. Pulling down the notification panel from the top-left corner requires some serious finger gymnastics.
I end up activating Siri more than half the time.
5. Left-handed users might find it slightly harder to use.
The dock is aligned to the right, which can make things a little awkward. At least opening the notification panel is easier for them.
6. It’s a chunky phone.
You can definitely feel the weight, and combined with the wide form factor, it starts to take its toll during extended one-handed use.
This is dope but you should have named it Duo Islands.

Cricket is already a very complicated game. Let’s make it more complicated with more unnecessary rules. That will certainly help towards global adoption.
I thought the biggest upgrade this time was the price, but it looks like it’s the number of bugs.
This Glitch Can FULLY CRASH the new iPhone 18 Pro
New iOS glitch has been discovered which can make the iPhone completely UNRESPONSIVE and mess up the entire UI. Apple NEEDS to take action immediately and push a HOTFIX update ASAP.
This is not a minor visual bug. Your iPhone can literally become unusable until it recovers. DO NOT TRY!
This is exactly where Apple scores big time. The sheer amount of app support is something no other Android brand can match.
Duo-Man offers the complete walkman experience on the iPhone Duo. Open the Duo to pick and 'insert' the cassette, Close the Duo to start listening.
Yes, I actually recorded the button clicks and static noise from a real Walkman!
It was fun making this at @bitrig hacks today.
