Apple may still be cleaning up after the end of the iPhone launch, but attention is already turning to an October event.

There are still a lot of new products we’re expecting the company to unveil, with the most exciting of these including touchscreen MacBooks and a smart home hub we’ve been dubbing the HomePad. But which ones will launch this year, and which ones will have to wait until next year … ?

New Apple Watch features may require new legal precedent for privacy

Two new Apple Watch features may see the device running up against privacy laws in multiple US states. That’s because the new Live Rewind and Siri Recap features audio-record conversations.

The devil is very much in the detail here, since neither feature makes audio recordings accessible to anyone, and it seems likely that the issue will need to be tested in the courts in order to set a new legal precedent …

It’s been more than a year since we asked whether Apple should give us the option of choosing our own AI chatbot to replace Siri AI. At that time, the majority of you were in favor.

Here’s how the iPhone Duo compares to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8

作者 Ben Lovejoy
2026年9月14日 20:09

CNET has a series of pieces comparing the iPhone Duo to three current Android foldables. While it’s a little frustrating to tackle the comparisons separately, it seems clear that the site views Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 as the device the Duo needs to beat.

That’s in large part because the two devices share similar passport-style aspect ratios rather than the tall and thin design of other foldables, and are priced only $100 apart …

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has made an interesting prediction in his latest newsletter, suggesting that the iPhone Duo is just the start and that most iPhones will be foldable within a decade.

The variable aperture lens of the shiny new iPhone 18 Pro goes almost one stop wider than the fixed aperture lens in its predecessor: up from f/1.78 in the iPhone 17 Pro to f/1.48 (a smaller number is wider).

In principle, this will allow for slightly shallower depth of field, enabling greater separation between your subject and the background – although it’s a relatively small difference. But there are four ways to achieve shallow depth of field (DOF) with much older iPhones …

Microsoft invented the iPhone Duo back in 2009 [Video]

Those with very long memories might have spotted a resemblance between the iPhone Duo and a prototype device seen way back in 2009, the Microsoft Courier.

My headline is, of course, tongue-in-cheek: Microsoft never got any further than the prototype, and abandoned the project less than a year later. All the same, it is remarkable now to look back at it and see just how similar it is in terms of the integrated user-interface …

If ever there was a head versus heart moment in terms of Apple tech, it was in yesterday’s unveiling of the new iPhones.

I already started the morning by wiping the drool from my desk after watching the iPhone Duo sections of yesterday’s keynote, but the true hero of yesterday’s show for me was the iPhone 18 Pro/Pro Max, thanks to the new camera features …

The iPhone Duo is Apple at its absolute best (and a little bit at its worst)

2026年9月10日 19:34

Wow. After Samsung had a seven-year head start on Apple in the foldables market, the company really had to live up to its ethos of waiting until it could do a far better job than everyone else, and boy did it deliver with the iPhone Duo!

It was abundantly clear that Apple had thought through every detail of what a foldable iPhone needed to be, and has taken advantage of every benefit the form factor has to offer …
