The iPhone Duo is the corn of phones to me.
Friday, 16 October, 2026
I couldn't live with an iPhone Duo. There's no dedicated telephoto lens, it's missing a LiDAR scanner, and the software looks tacked on. I could look at it and go, that's not for me. I also wrote about ChatGPT signing real cartoonists' names, a propane airship, a startup's claim its AI passed as human, New York's lawsuit over a TikTok safety button, Googlebook OS on a Mac, a hand-drawn smart home dashboard, a coffee maker that uploaded a terabyte, OpenAI's agents on Wikimedia's wikis, a printed calculator, Linux's GPU driver on an iPad, the NBA's chipped ball, PS2 games in a browser, hacked supermarket fridges and Intel's missing instruction. Then Meta's Muse, which is what Gemini and Siri should have been. It works that well.Follow Chris on almost every social media platform, play his free apps at arcade.pirillo.com, and support him on Patreon, PayPal or Substack.
