An actual “review”
Not talking the press points
Even handling the echo-chamber parts
Refreshing in each heading

Been a while since reading one like this
An actual review
Some thoughts on the iPhone Duo... (I love it.) spyglass.org/iphone-duo-revi…

Am not so quietly scheming for how it would connect directly to my @brilliantlabsAR Halo 👓
…cause… reasons 😎

Funny… not fiction. Dang near echoes a situation I instigated a decade plus back.
There’s lessons in facts, fictions, and functions… one def needs to have ears to hear, and curiosities to follow
.. I said, "I do. It's the only version that's current."
She said, "We have software for that."
I said, "I know. It stopped matching reality a long time ago."
She pulled up the account on her phone and scrolled. Nine logins in five months.
The software cost $4,800 a year. By that afternoon, it was cancelled.
She also approved the whiteboard, and one for any team that asked. Then she wrote one line to everyone: "Thank you to whoever started the glass."
My whiteboard showed up on Friday. I left the markers on the partition's ledge, where they still are.
My idea is simple: before paying for a tool, look at what people already use.
If this were real, what would you put in place so spending follows how people actually work?
(A short story. Fiction.)

Clever… invites a few other “what if the browser on the Duo can be nudged a bit” questions
Everyone complained about Safari on iPhone Duo, so I came up with a fix 🌐
Meet Brim, the browser that uses on-device Apple Intelligence to remove elements from under the selfie camera while using 100% of the screen width

This, 💯
I feel like a lot of YouTubers put so much weight in the camera, due to that being the tool they use for their profession, that they really downplay the rest of the phone if the camera isn't class leading.
For 99% of people the camera in an iPhone 17 or iPhone Air, or the Duo, is great and the upgrades that come with a Pro iPhone don't add anything for them.
I think this bias towards camera quality can really sway their reviews. For example I've seen many reviews claim a huge downside of the iPhone Duo is no ProRes. 95% of people don't even know what that is, or care. But they know what an iPad is, and they'd probably like to have an iPad that they can use as a phone and is extremely portable.
I'm not saying this is a huge issue, of course w reviewer is going to talk about what matters to them by default. I do however thing a lot of them could do a better job understanding what actually matters to most people.

Well dang… the production quality of this alone…
…can “feel” a lot of reviewers from the past w/n this. And yet it’s distinct 😏
Perhaps I really did move away from reviewing tech at the right time. The stuff I used to write was def moving this narrative direction

Watching this video and Shifter made a neat calendar tool for figuring out rideable days per year.
This is neat shifter.info/bike-rideable-d…

Found myself stopped, and parked…
…been a while since I’ve been in this much quiet.
We’ve missed each other it seems

The way I’m looking forward to this… and hopefully using Stream Ring alongside @brilliantlabsAR Halo 👓
…it’s neat. Even as this has me bumping hard against a privacy/recording boundary.
Whisper/bone conduction tech has always been neat. It’s coming back into view/ear now
We spent the last 3 years building an extension of human thinking. Now, Stream Ring begins shipping next month
Feedback from over 100 beta users and 1000+ IRL demos has helped shape what Stream can do. Here’s the latest, plus answers to common questions
Thanks for being part of our early journey, and for what comes next ∽

“The connection isn’t the data source, it’s a signal of what mode you’re in…”
That something an LLM said tonight as I was sound boarding about @brilliantlabsAR Halo (and @sandbar’s Stream).
Am prototyping for orientation, not intelligence. That’s a much sharper “augmentation”
