I guess Steve did his job. He let Tim Cook and now it’s John’s Tern.

YouTube has updated for iPhone Duo but this ain’t it… 😭 There’s got to be a better way

Every now and then, you see something online that stops you dead in your tracks. And suddenly, all the noise, the deadlines, the hustle, the things you’ve been stressing about… none of it feels that important anymore. Life is fragile. Time is precious.

I think we’re about to see one of the biggest reality checks in tech history. And AI is right at the centre of it. I’ve spent years working closely with some of the biggest names in consumer technology, covering product launches, seeing innovations before they reach consumers and watching entire industries change. And while I’m more excited about AI than ever, I’m also increasingly concerned about where this is heading. Here are 7 predictions I have for the next 6–12 months. 1. The AI gold rush is going to have some VERY expensive casualties. Right now, everyone’s spending billions. Chips, data centres, infrastructure, models. The numbers are insane. But here’s the question nobody seems to have a convincing answer to. Who’s actually making sustainable money? We’re seeing investment at a scale that assumes almost everything will work out. It won’t. I expect some huge corrections, failed businesses and a serious wake-up call for investors. 2. Electricity could become AI’s biggest problem. We’re so focused on what AI can do that we’re overlooking what it takes to actually run it. Power. And LOTS of it. The infrastructure required to support this growth is putting enormous pressure on electricity grids. And guess who could eventually pay for that? Everyday consumers. The next big AI breakthrough might not be a smarter model. It might be figuring out how to power everything affordably. 3. The AI subscriptions we’re enjoying today won’t stay this cheap forever. Think about it. We’re paying relatively little each month to access technology that costs extraordinary amounts to build and operate. That gap is being supported by investors and companies willing to spend heavily to win market share. But at some point, economics catches up. And when AI companies start prioritising profitability over growth, I expect pricing, usage limits and subscriptions to change significantly. That’s when we’ll discover how much people REALLY value these tools. 4. AI security is the next massive headline waiting to happen. We’re giving AI access to everything. Emails. Documents. Personal information. Business systems. Even financial accounts. And we’re doing it faster than most people understand the risks. I think a major AI-related security incident could completely change public confidence in these tools. Convenience is great. Until the consequences become very real. 5. Today’s most powerful AI technology could become tomorrow’s expensive problem. This is something I find fascinating. Companies are spending billions building infrastructure around technology that’s evolving at an incredible pace. A chip that’s cutting edge today could be significantly less competitive much sooner than expected. A model that leads the market this month could be overtaken next month. Imagine making a multibillion-dollar investment in infrastructure only to realise the economics have completely changed before you’ve recovered the cost. That’s a very real challenge. 6. We’re going to see a major divide between AI hype and actual usefulness. This is probably the one I’m most confident about. Having spent years reviewing consumer technology, I’ve seen this cycle before. A new technology arrives. Everyone rushes to include it. Every company starts using the same buzzwords. But eventually, consumers stop caring about the technology itself. They care about what it actually DOES for them. The companies that survive won’t necessarily be those with the biggest AI announcements. They’ll be the ones making everyday life genuinely better. 7. The biggest winners from AI might not be the companies everyone is betting on today. I think we’re entering a period where being first, being loudest or spending the most doesn’t guarantee success. Execution matters. Distribution matters. Profitability matters. And sometimes the biggest opportunities appear AFTER the initial excitement has cooled down. That’s when the businesses with real value, sustainable economics and a clear purpose start standing out. One final thought. I’m not against AI. Quite the opposite. I genuinely believe it’s one of the most important technological shifts we’ll experience in our lifetime. But there’s a massive difference between believing in a technology and believing every company building around it will succeed. AI isn’t the bubble. The expectations around AI might be. Curious to hear your thoughts. Am I being too pessimistic, or are we heading towards a major correction? This isn’t investment advice.

My life right now as an iPhone Duo owner 😅

Which one of these YT thumbnails would you click on to watch a 20 minute video about iPhone Duo? 👀

Day in the Life using Apple’s foldable iPhone Duo! 📱 From work to family time, multitasking and testing the cameras and battery life. But can a foldable actually replace my everyday iPhone? 👀 Here’s a sneak peek 👇 🎬 Watch the full 20-minute video: youtu.be/K3gzePReIvk?si=XZQb…

Wow I didn’t realise it was like this inside the iPhone Duo Folio case 😮

Shocked to find out @Hublot gave our content an IP strike on TikTok despite inviting me down to view their new watches and create content about it. Nothing negative was even mentioned. Is this how you treat media and content creators?! 😡

Why am I just realising now apple lists the two iPhone Duo batteries separately in settings 👀

What is going on in India with the iPhone Duo 😮

In between all the iPhone duo content a random thought came to my mind… isn’t it kinda crazy how u can grow up thinking home cooked meals almost every other day is normal but then u get older and realize how much time and effort it took your mum to make them and how lucky you were to have it.

These foldable durability tests are getting ridiculous. 🤦‍♂️ You’re literally forcing a phone to fold in the OPPOSITE direction it was designed for. What exactly were you expecting to happen?! 😂

lol only in dubai can they sell iPhone Duo like this…

Now that the iPhone Duo is available, do we agree John’s Tern has started off well? 😂

There’s only one right color choice for the iPhone Duo

As a tech reviewer and part-time designer, I find Apple’s latest UI surprisingly confusing. 🫤 Buttons feel randomly placed, elements lack consistent alignment, spacing is uneven, and the oversized status bar wastes valuable screen space. There’s little visual hierarchy or balance, making even simple layouts feel cluttered. I hope Apple listens to feedback, especially from designers and developers building apps for the platform. Good design should feel intentional, not just look impressive in animations.

So be honest, now that you’ve had time to play around with the iPhone Duo… what do you think? 💭

An interesting concept brining back a virtual floating home button for the iPhone Duo UI 👀 What do you guys think? 💭

Apple Pencil support on the iPhone Duo! ✏️🔥 With iOS 27.2, you’ll be able to write, sketch and navigate on BOTH the inner and outer displays. The catch? Only the USB-C Apple Pencil works. Not even the Pencil Pro. 💀 Is this a game changer for foldables or just a gimmick? 👀

Ok this is cool AF 👏
