One more thing: the iPhone Duo screen, which is similar to nano-texture glass, is really easy on the eyes compared to other phones.
I think people who actually use the iPhone Duo to boost their productivity and work efficiency do not run into these issues. Nobody is constantly folding and unfolding a phone. That said, it is a bit thick and heavy, so when I head out now, I usually keep the iPhone Duo in my left pocket and the iPhone Air in my right.
When I am walking or driving and need a phone, I pull out the iPhone Air. When I sit down at a coffee shop or somewhere else, I take out the iPhone Duo and unfold it to work. I do not close it until I am done working, just like a MacBook. Because the screen is so large, looking at things and getting things done is just much easier.
In the past, my AI agent would give me a lot of feedback, but I could never read through it because the phone screen was too small. My eyes would strain after a while, and I always had to print things out and read them at home. But now, with the large screen on the iPhone Duo, I can read everything right on the device. Plus, it takes an eSIM, so I have data on the go.
Previously, I had to carry a MacBook, and even with the Air, it was a hassle. Walking into a coffee shop and dealing with Wi-Fi takes time and drains my mental energy. So I think the iPhone Duo is a fantastic productivity booster for anyone who actually gets real work done.
By the way, I wrote this entire comment right here on the iPhone Duo.
Now whenever I head out, I keep the iPhone Duo in my left pocket and the iPhone Air in my right pocket.
When I'm walking or driving and need to use a phone, I reach my right hand into my right pocket. When I'm sitting down, say, at a coffee shop, and need to use the phone, I reach my left hand into my left pocket.
Both of these phones are indispensable.
Using an iPhone Duo as a remote controller for an AI agent is really great.
Before, when I used my iPhone Air to check feedback from Codex or Claude Code, the text was tiny and it was exhausting to read. Now, looking at the feedback on a larger screen is much more comfortable.
Although it's not the most convenient to carry around, I feel like I still need to keep my iPhone Air with me on the go, and then use the iPhone Duo when I sit down to work. That way, I don't even need...
I’ve unexpectedly started to enjoy working through Terminal.
My setup is a little unusual. Claude Code runs on a Windows PC in Japan, while the files and computing power I actually want it to work with are on my Mac mini at home. My MacBook Air is basically my cockpit: I open Terminal, connect into this setup over SSH, and work from there.
Because everything is remote, there’s a tiny amount of latency when I type—maybe a third of a second. Technically, that sounds like a disadvantage.
But I’ve realized I actually like it.
That tiny bit of friction changes the way I interact with Claude Code. I don’t just type whatever comes into my head as quickly as possible. I tend to form the thought first, then type it. I choose my words more carefully. I think more about what I actually want Claude to do before giving it the instruction.
It slows me down just enough to keep me intentional and out of autopilot.
There’s also something about Terminal itself. There are fewer visual distractions, fewer buttons to click, and less temptation to jump between things. It’s basically just me, the command line, and the task in front of me.
I originally started using Terminal because my distributed setup made it practical. But unexpectedly, the constraint itself has become part of what I like about the workflow.
Sometimes a little friction is actually useful.
I don't know what you guys do for a living, but here on X everyone's always discussing AI tools, AI models, software (app) development, and so on. I'm curious — how many of you are business owners in traditional industries? Restaurants, industrial goods, B2C, B2B trading?
I'm one of them. I run a B2B business in what most people would call a traditional industry: international trading.
I've been experimenting with AI tools for a while, starting with the simple stuff — proofreading, content generation, marketing — and moving into building actual business tools and web apps. For example, I had ChatGPT generate the HTML for a weight calculator for our products, then pasted it into Elementor on our WordPress site. It took about 3 hours to get everything right — shape selection, density, dimensions, quantities — and it works.
More recently I've been picking up things like setting up SSH keys, networking multiple PCs together, running a VPS, using Tailscale, and working with Git and GitHub. I had to learn concepts like pull requests and pushes — just a few weeks ago I was still pushing feature updates and bug fixes straight to our production server.
These things sound complicated, and I wouldn't say I understand SSH 100% even now. But nailing down these basics and setting up my own development environment has been huge. I also learned how to connect AI models to external software via MCP — I used Claude Code to build MCP servers for our own web app, so now I can work with it from Muse or ChatGPT. These days, creating an invoice doesn't even require opening the web app — I press and hold the Action button on my iPhone, tell Muse the details out loud, and the invoice is sitting ready on our web app when I finish talking. I can even have it emailed straight to the customer.
I believe this kind of personal infrastructure is about to become an essential business skill. Traditionally, running a business meant you didn't need to know the technical details — you outsourced them. You don't build your own website or set up your own ERP; you hire someone so you can focus on your core work. The problem is, outsourced solutions are never quite perfect.
But when you combine deep domain expertise with the ability to build your own tools, AI becomes far more than a chat box. That personal infrastructure makes all the difference.
Curious how you guys feel about this.

We’re moving from “AI helps me work”
to
“AI works and I approve.”
That transition feels bigger than people realize.
I agree. I’be also been using Muse for my business. I’m going to buy more $meta now.
