PLUS: These smart glasses are way more private.
Apple’s first folding phone, the iPhone Duo, is pretty dang good. No, you don’t need a folding phone, and yes, it’s brutally expensive. But the utility is real: running two apps side by side, such as desktop-like two-pane views on Slack and Mail, or just stretching out on a tablet-sized display. While the biggest hurdle right now is unoptimized third-party apps, though that should smooth out as developers adapt in the coming weeks and months.
Which brings up the bigger question: Does this kill the iPhone/iPad combo? A flagship iPhone and an iPad will get you close to the Duo’s $1,999 MSRP. To see whether or not one screen could truly replace two, I ran an entire workday off the Duo—and I didn’t hate it. There are quirks, but knocking out some light work at the coffee shop or the airport lounge is totally doable. You’re probably still going to feel limited by the screen size if you’re coming from a larger iPad. And don’t worry: Your MacBook’s job is still safe.

Sometimes a simple screenshot just doesn’t do the trick. Whether you’re trying to capture an entire Instagram story or a long thread of text messages, or give someone visual instructions about how to change a setting on their phone, a plain old snapshot just isn’t sufficient. This is where screen recording comes in to save the day. As someone who’s never had the TikTok app, I’ve especially appreciated that screen recording allows me to see videos that I wouldn’t otherwise get to see—special shout-out to my friends who, instead of sending links, rewatch entire TikToks in order to record them and send them to me. If you want to learn to capture more on your phone—or if you ever want to send me a TikTok—read our guide to screen recording on any phone.—written by Elana Klein.
