I can finally talk about my thoughts on the iPhone Duo:
Pros:
The Duo feels like the most task-oriented iPhone ever. That's because the outer display is small, so when I'm doing anything substantial, I need to commit to opening it and using the inner display. Even if that's just reading an article or reading social media, I find myself focused on a single task, then closing the phone and putting it away when I'm done. The wide aspect ratio when closed also generally has me typing with two hands, which contributes to this feeling, though it can be tough if your other hand is full.
In this way it feels more like a single-task gadget or PDA, and less of a thing I find myself unlocking and locking nonstop. I very much enjoy this aspect of it. It feels like the most gadgety gadget I've used in a while.
Battery life is really, really good. This is probably ALSO a function of above and also the surprisingly large 4,883mAh cell, but I'm always shocked when I still have 90% battery remaining after a few hours off the charger.
Optimized apps are great, especially on the inner display. Apps like Slack are pretty much just the desktop app, and I love that. I can't wait to get a portable keyboard and mouse and start writing on this thing, especially if Google Docs gets optimized like this. This also makes me really excited for the accessory ecosystem that will pop up around this device in general.
The inner display is fantastic. I really like the matte display and content looks great in it. I also multitask with a couple of apps to copy information from one to the other pretty frequently and it's really nice.
Cons:
The primary camera is definitely not as good as the Pro. There is sort of the classic small-sensor oversharpening etc you'd see on much older iPhones, and I do miss the capabilities of the 18 Pro quite a bit on this front. There's also no ProRAW or ProRes, which is disappointing for a $2,000 device. You can still get good photos and videos out of it for sure, but it's not quite the "wow" I experienced from the 18 Pro, as to be expected.
I also really really miss the telephoto camera on this phone, and hope Apple will add it next year, especially considering Xiaomi has it on the 18 Pro Fold.
Unoptimized apps are a bit rough, and I'll need to look for alternatives for apps that I know won't be optimized. Apps like my mobile browser of choice, Arc Search definitely won't be updated. When you're in the inner display you can scale things up and they work, but they do look silly. Safari is a good example of one that works well, as, like Slack, it gives you a similar desktop app experience.
The inner Facetime Camera is really bad for photos, but weirdly good for video? Facetimes actually look pretty good, and Apple tells me they have optimized its output for video. Still, I do wish the quality was higher for photos. I recommend the front camera for selfies. You can use the rear cameras for selfies and I've done this, but it's really hard to hold the phone when doing this.
TouchID works, but is so much more cumbersome than FaceID. From unlocking the phone to paying for things with Apple Pay, FaceID is just so much faster and more useful. I'm assuming they just haven't miniaturized the FaceID module on the z-axis enough yet, but I hope it comes in Gen 2.
Ultimately, I find this to be one of Apple's most fun and ambitious devices ever. But like any Gen 1 product, it comes with it's annoyances and frictions you'll have to be ok with, especially if you're comitting $2k+ to this thing. I will personally be sticking on a Duo as I love how it feels more like a task-driven PDA versus a generalized screen. I realize that's a bit woo-woo, but I genuinely have a healthier relationship with this device. I'll really miss the iPhone 18 Pro camera, but I'll probably go back to carrying around my dedicated point and shoot camera again, at least for now.
If you have any questions let me know.

A 28 person startup in San Francisco says it has turned mercury into gold
Marathon Fusion used fusion neutrons to transmute mercury into real, stable gold, at 10 times the rate of CERN's record
Last week the same team beat a 40 year old Soviet record for enriching isotopes in a plasma centrifuge
The gold is not the business. The reactor's real job is making rare medical isotopes for cancer treatment, which the world does not have enough of
They are now building a fusion reactor, and plan to double its power density every single month
Alchemy was a fantasy for 2,000 years. It is now an engineering roadmap
Last month, we demonstrated high-rate alchemy: turning mercury into real, stable gold, beating CERN’s record by a factor of 10.
Last week, we enriched isotopes in the world’s most powerful plasma centrifuge, beating the Soviet record that stood for 40 years.
Now, we’re building a fusion reactor in San Francisco to achieve record power density.

THIS IS INSANE!!!
A San Francisco startup says it just turned mercury into real gold.
The company is Marathon Fusion. This week they announced they'd made stable gold using fusion neutrons, at 10x the record CERN set in 2025.
CERN's record was 29 picograms over four years. So nobody's pouring bars yet.
The method is what got me. You hit mercury-198 with a fusion neutron. It loses a neutron, becomes mercury-197, and over the next few days decays into gold-197. The exact same gold sitting in central bank vaults.
Their 2025 paper says a one-gigawatt fusion plant built this way could make around 2 tonnes of gold a year as a side product, while it's selling electricity.
I've said it for years. Gold is a shiny rock. It's valuable because there's only so much of it and pulling it out of the ground is hard and expensive.
If this holds up, gold's scarcity turns into an engineering problem. And you can only delay technical progress. You can't stop it.
To be fair, the gold comes out mixed with radioactive isotopes and would need to sit for well over a decade before it's safe to touch. Nobody outside the company has verified the result yet, and commercial fusion is still years away.
Peter Schiff has spent years telling everyone Bitcoin has no intrinsic value.
This week a startup says it made gold out of mercury.
There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin. No reactor on Earth can make one more.

IN FOUR MONTHS, THE NSA STOPS BUYING ANYTHING THAT RUNS ON TODAY'S ENCRYPTION.
THE REASON IS QUANTUM COMPUTERS.
This is not a proposal, but a published directive with a date.
It's called CNSA 2.0, the NSA issued it in 2022, tightened it in 2025, and almost nobody outside the agency has read it. It quietly orders every national security system in America to abandon the encryption the entire internet runs on, because a large enough quantum computer breaks all of it, and the NSA has decided that machine is coming.
The schedule:
January 1, 2027: every new system the government buys for classified or sensitive work must use quantum resistant encryption.
2030: all network equipment and software signing must run quantum resistant only. Legacy gear that can't be upgraded gets ripped out.
2033: operating systems, applications, cloud. Everything.
2035: full quantum resistance across all national security systems. Hard stop.
The NSA gave the EARLIEST deadlines to two categories, signed software and network traffic. Their stated reason: those are most exposed to harvest-now-decrypt-later, adversaries recording encrypted data today to crack it once the quantum computer exists.
Defense systems take 18 to 36 months to build. Anything designed today ships after the deadline. For much of the government, the planning window already closed.
Meanwhile your bank, your hospital, and the app you're reading this on run the exact algorithms the NSA is abandoning.

NORTH KOREA’S HACKERS ARE ALREADY USING AMERICA’S QUANTUM-PROOF ENCRYPTION STANDARD
Kaspersky just exposed a new campaign by Lazarus, North Korea’s state hacking group. Its malware uses ML-KEM-1024, the post-quantum encryption standard NIST published in August 2024, to lock down the connection back to the hackers’ servers.
Kaspersky says Lazarus has been using post-quantum crypto since at least September 2024. That’s about a month after the US finalized the standard.
Why would hackers bother? Security teams catch malware partly by recording and studying its traffic. If that traffic is quantum proof, even a future quantum computer can’t open it up later.
The attack itself was fake résumé and portfolio websites, likely built with AI, sent to targets through phishing emails. At least three South Korean companies in software, construction and telecom equipment were hit, and Kaspersky believes the real number is much higher.
Governments are giving their own agencies until 2030 to 2035 to switch to post-quantum encryption.
North Korea switched in about a month.

Why does your AI agent pay the highest card fees in payments?
> your agent can't use your debit card, it gets a virtual card
> that card is issued to a company (the agent startup), not to you
> so visa and mastercard classify it as "commercial"
> commercial cards carry the highest interchange: ~2.5-3%
> and unlike debit, there's no regulatory cap on it
result: a $100 purchase costs the merchant $2.80 instead of $0.27
the issuer and the agent startup split that fee. that's their business model
That's a massive problem for merchants once agents start buying at scale. One fix already exists: wallet + stablecoins + x402.
M2020. Top Recaps - Part 1. Stripe is not only the payment engine for Muse, they are actually core to Meta's economics. The 300bps linked card is providing meta with ~100bps of revenue. Card networks are enabling the economics of Agentic. This works beyond Stripe merchants, and beyond Link wallets. The linked card creates alignment with Meta and Stripe. While Stripe may be capable of creating an alternative payment network, they can't create the economics (merchant acceptance of a 300bps card for stripe and non-stripe merchants).
Big retailers are set to block this card (and "wallet") due to price, most of the large merchants require customer auth with merchant. The merchant friendly solution to Muse and agent integration is form @LoginID_io. A fantastic merchant friendly integration to their Auth. Expect a presentation w/ MRC.

This is how banks are planning to stop those "agentic bank runs." Watch closely: their business model depends on seeding this narrative that AI agents are dangerous.
Remember, an "agentic bank run" (coined by Apollo) means agents helping customers move their own money en masse to higher-yielding products.
Once agents are ubiquitous, there are only a few ways for banks to hold onto cheap retail deposits.
Option A: Raise APYs (lol no)
Option B: Reduce leverage via fewer loans (no fun)
Option C: Ban AI agents, claiming they are a security risk (ding ding ding)
Cloud agents like Muse and Dot are trivial to stop, since they come from Meta / OAI IP ranges. If JPM sends them a cease and desist, they will comply.
Why would JPM bother? Because their business model depends on it; a huge portion of their ROE comes from cheap retail deposits. This is not theoretical. Just like Amazon banned Muse from shopping there to protect their ad revenue, JPM and Schwab have already banned AI agents to protect sticky deposits.
Are agents perfectly reliable today? Of course not. But look at the fix they chose. Not "here's a safe API for agents," it's "no agents ever." That tells you they're not protecting customers, they're protecting themselves.
No company ever wins a technological revolution this way. It's the last gasp of a dying business model. It's like the retailers who refused to put their inventory online and demanded users walk into the storefront. Over time they will lose market share to those platforms that embrace what's coming. Their whole deposit franchise depends on users unthinkingly clicking through walls of T&Cs and accepting 0.2% when the risk free rate is closer to 4%. Agents read the fine print and do their research, even when humans don't.
For users, the answer is simple: local AI agent frameworks like Hermes, that will actually act on your behalf and that the banks can't block. As the article says, if the agent is running on your own computer, they can't actually tell it's not you.
SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios.
The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios.
Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said.
Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

In January 2025 my mom’s lung cancer spread to her brain. The drug with the best chance of helping her was approved in China but not here.
A doctor told me, almost as an aside, that if she were Chinese she could buy it at a pharmacy.
So I flew to Shanghai and came home with 26 boxes in my luggage. That was 19 months ago. My mom is still here, still working, and in her words has had an amazing three years.
The drug was approved in China in 2023. The FDA approved it in July 2025. It still is not for sale here. I know of at least 30 Americans who have made the same trip.
I have been scared to tell this story because I worried it could cost my mom access to the medicine keeping her alive. But the problem matters more than my silence. These drugs need to be developed and available here, and that means FDA reform.

🌀 CERN Portal Claim: Beings Crossing From Other Dimensions
A Swiss researcher says CERN physicists privately told her the facility runs hidden nuclear linked experiments and has an underground portal used to access other realities.
They allegedly described 17 or more dimensions and non-human beings moving in and out, one of which reportedly left behind a physical item as proof.
If accurate, this frames CERN less as pure science and more as an intentional interdimensional gateway.
It echoes long standing UAP patterns: unexplained craft and entities near nuclear sites, dimensional “windows,” and claims that some NHI arrive through engineered or natural portals rather than conventional spacecraft.
Is this the quiet tech side of the phenomenon we’ve been tracking?
