ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Apple’s first foldable iPhone is finally here. The £1,999 iPhone Duo stole the Apple Event, while the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max arrived with the new A20 Pro chip, longer battery life and Apple’s first variable-aperture iPhone camera.
But once you get past the keynote presentation, what actually matters and what’s worth spending your money on?
Roberto Revilla and Jon Evans get into the iPhone 18 Pro vs iPhone 17 Pro upgrade question, including why Roberto went into Apple’s pre-order page fully intending to buy an 18 Pro Max... and then closed the browser without ordering one.
The iPhone Duo is another matter entirely.
Apple’s first foldable iPhone has a 7.6-inch inner display, proper split-screen multitasking and a £1,999 starting price, and Roberto is already contemplating an eBay fire sale to fund not one, but potentially two of them.
Also in the conversation: AirPods 5 and their surprisingly aggressive price, Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, Live Rewind and the slightly unsettling possibilities of Audio Intelligence, Siri AI, Apple’s privacy approach and which new Apple products are actually worth upgrading to.
If you own an iPhone 17 Pro, are wondering whether to buy the iPhone 18 Pro, or have suddenly found yourself trying to justify an iPhone Duo, this one is for you.
