Apple finally showed the folding iPhone, and it arrived with a $1,999 starting price and a lot of great and interesting features. Tom and Jeff bring Joe Moyer back to walk the whole event: the iPhone Duo, the 18 Pro and Pro Max, new AirPods, and Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4. One of us pre-ordered before recording. One of us is quietly doing the math on owning two phones at once.

In this episode:

  • John Ternus hosts his first event as CEO
  • iPhone Duo: 5.4-inch outer screen, 7.6-inch inside, Touch ID, Apple Pencil support
  • What the Duo leaves out: telephoto, Face ID, action button, ProRAW
  • Duo pricing from $1,999 to $3,199, orders Oct 16, delivery Oct 23
  • iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max: variable aperture, 8x telephoto, vapor chamber, A20
  • New AirPods keep the same price and add noise cancellation to the base model
  • Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4: new sensors, readiness, health age, 50-hour battery
  • Audio Intelligence on the Watch, and where the privacy line sits now
  • Live immersive MLB games on Vision Pro
  • The OS 27 updates are here
