Apple iPhone Duo vs 18 Pro Max: Is the Foldable Crease Finally Fixed?! 📱👀 | Tech Xtra 27
"You can get rid of the crease by just giving it a matte finish... they got rid of the reflection, so it makes it harder to see."
Tech Xtra is back on Affinity Xtra! Following the latest Apple launch event, hosts Roger Moore and Marx sit down to analyze the brand-new hardware lineup.
Marx breaks down his initial hesitation with folding tech and how the inner matte display of the new iPhone Duo challenges the crease dilemma. Meanwhile, Roger looks at why he's ready to move from his iPhone 15 Pro Max up to the 18 Pro Max—breaking down the practical benefits of the larger screen for field production, controlling Lumix cameras and DJI rigs, and testing out the variable aperture system.
The guys also examine:
- iPhone Duo vs. Pro Max: Screen real estate, multi-angle camera previews, and whether content creators actually need a folding device.
- Apple Watch Series 12 & Ultra 4: Upgraded biometric sensors, audio intelligence, recovery tracking, and why watch upgrades are slowing down.
- AirPods 5: Why Apple putting Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) into both base models at £120 changes the game against budget competitors.
- Finance Realities: Apple Store monthly payment options vs. UK carrier contracts.
