OK so I might still be in Canada running iPhone Duo workshops but we're cool if I ALSO get excited about visionOS for a sec, right?
November 11. Cupertino. If you make (or want to make) immersive media, this is the event for you. Come hang out with us!

Love the concept and execution on this new spot! #MacBookPro #M6
Question: how do I setup the wallpaper before the swipe up unlock so they the size of the opened wallpaper matches the closed screen? I just want to see the blue Sketchbot when closed, then opening reveals the full scene. #iPhoneDuo
After watching him pour sand into the Duo hinge, fold and hear the grit grinding (YEESH!) I then watched his fascinating video tour of Oppo's mobile phone factory.
This is a cool must-watch!

3D sculpting with @nomadsculpt works great on the iPhone Duo. @stephomi
iOS 27.2 RC installed, Apple Pencil USB-C paired, @Procreate Pocket first test. It works great, though I’m definitely missing pressure sensitivity. Hopefully @apple will be able to enable this down the road. 🤞
My Best Buy only had 18 in stock for over 100 orders, so my pre-order was not gonna happen there. I then drove 30 minutes to The Grove. I was the last one to get a 512GB Night Sky for today. 🥹 Heading back home and will unbox after lunch!
Curious - has anyone who got their @BestBuy iPhone Duo order in with "Estimated pickup date: Friday, October 23" received any notification about when it will be ready? When does this notification typically get sent out? Day before, or morning of? I'm trying to remain optimistic that my order will be fulfilled tomorrow. Otherwise, my Apple Store order is still 12/8-15th. 😬
UPDATE: I just called Best Buy to inquire if I was able to switch colors on a pre-order, they said unfortunately not. The good news - I then asked if my order will be able to be picked up tomorrow. The rep checked my order number and said yes, but that I would have to wait for the eMail notification that it's ready for pick up.
When the Duo was first announced, I immediately wanted the darker version. 😎
Then something changed and I decided to pre-order the white variant. 🙃
Now, I'm back to wanting the dark one. 😭
I know it's going to be near impossible to swap on launch day. Provided @bestbuy comes through with pickup tomorrow, who's in a similar quandary looking for someone to do a swap with the 512GB model? I wonder if they even plan for this type of contingency for us last minute mind changers? 🤞
Great video! I’ve always wondered what the shape and tolerance of the seam looks like when closed. Plus, anime battle intro!

Well, as you've probably noticed, there's a controversial discussion going on, and since controversy isn't something I shy away from, I'd like to chip in.
Specifically I would like to show example of using Ai acceleration to achieve YOUR vision while maintain absolute control over the result, hence this thread.
So here's a tool I've made, which I'll talk about a bit more in the comments.

Kinda wild to think that these are the last 6 days before the iPhone Duo is out in the world
The last 6 days before foldables potentially become mainstream
Let that sink in for a minute
The last time an iPhone changed everything was the original iPhone in 2007
None of us had any idea how the world would change from a single multitouch phone
It remolded the world for apps, and then with 3G and 4G, it changed everyday life by enabling rich social media that let us share photos and videos in real time
If the iPhone Duo is a major hit, we will see way more foldable phones from other brands and hopefully cheaper ones. The competition will be fierce again
This might be the last week before everyone has a tablet in their pocket. Just imagine how different things will be if everyone holds up an unfolded foldable at a concert. Think about how rideshare dashboards will change with a bigger screen for Split View apps
I am trying to fathom the change because there will be change
This could be the last of the current reality as we know it

Tim Cook visited HoYoverse (miHoYo) in Shanghai, where he got to try Zenless Zone Zero on the new iPhone Duo!
You can play in both portrait and landscape orientations, with the interface adjusting to the available screen space. And what’s really cool is that you can even continue playing with another app open alongside it.
This is what I like about foldable phones. It’s not just about having a bigger screen, but how apps and games can adapt to different screen sizes and ways of using the device.
Curious to see how more games will take advantage of the iPhone Duo. Can’t wait to try it myself!
