The iPhone Duo is going to be popular
A new analysis from Counterpoint Research (via Bloomberg) says Apple will sell about 6 million iPhone Duo units by the end of 2026. With the phone slated to launch in mid-October, that leaves only two and a half months to hit that number.
I wouldn't be surprised if this number is accurate, but it still wouldn't be any less impressive if Apple pulls it off.
That is assuming Apple can ramp up production enough to meet the heavy demand...
Watch This Before You Pre-order iPhone Duo
The iPhone Duo is generating a ton of buzz, but there's some trade-offs that you'll have to make for your $2,000. The question is what are you willing to give up in order to have a 5.4-inch phone and 7.6-inch tablet in a single device and (finally) true side-by-side multistasking.
In this YouTube video I break down everything you need to know before pre-ordering an iPhone Duo — and score each trade-off on a "dealbreaker" meter....
The Honor Magic 9 Pro Max
Honor just announced the Magic 9 Pro Max smartphone with an absolute beast of a camera. The company partnered with German camera manufacturer ARRI to bring cinema-grade features to its new flagship. It promises more realistic-looking footage than what the Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max produces, which is a big claim.
From a specs perspective, the 200MP OmniVision OV52A main camera, 50MP ultrawide-angle sensor and a 200MP Samsung S5KHPE telephoto lens sound promising.
With the Snapdragon 8 Elite mobile processor with 2nm tech, this could be a phone worth keeping on your radar, especially if you're in one of the countries that'll actually get it.
