The iPhone Duo Was Meant to Be an iPad

We rated the iPhone Duo a 7/10, but that score wasn’t set in stone and may change as time goes on. Reviewing a groundbreaking concept for one of the most popular smartphones ever comes with its own set of challenges.

In this episode of the podcast, the hosts dive into whether the Duo truly deserved its score and explore how this device might evolve. Is the outer screen, as suggested by a prominent tech commentator, the worst iPhone ever? Would it have been a stronger product if it had launched as an iPad instead of an iPhone? Would our perception shift if it were simply branded as the iPad Duo? While it’s clear that the Duo has potential for improvement, the question remains: will it ever be the go-to phone for everyone?

The discussion then shifts to a significant PHP cybersecurity vulnerability that shook the web this week and its implications for the future of online security, AI, and beyond. It’s been a peculiar week for the internet, with the rise of AI-driven shopping compelling retailers to rethink their customer engagement strategies—especially with AI agents in the mix. The episode also touches on the upcoming reboot of a popular series on a streaming platform and some perplexing updates regarding a new tech initiative.

In case you missed it, this week’s discussions also included topics like vibe-coding creators, turmoil in the AI mathematics community, and the intriguing flying Tesla Roadster.
