Brandon Vigliarolo: iPhone 18 Pro benchmark boosted by giving it a cold drink

Riley Hill on the Fold8's crease
Riley Hill: Galaxy Z Fold 8 Review: Worth Buying in Years
As for the crease, it’s not something you see when looking at the larger display head-on. Tilt the phone slightly off-angle, and you see it. It’s minimal, but it’s there. Not a big deal. The only slight annoyance with

An agent skill to help update your app for the iPhone Duo
I put together as much of Apple's iPhone Duo documentation as I could into a skill that I'm using to audit my apps for the new layouts and features. You can get it here if you're in a similar boat.
What my apps look like on the iPhone Duo with zero code changes
Leading up to the iPhone Duo's announcement, I suggested that Apple's big advantage here compared to other folding phones on the market that are based on Android was the iPad ecosystem. Not all apps run on both the iPhone and the iPad, but a lot do, and so a lot of

Nonogame will soar on the iPhone Duo
Nonogame for the iPhone and iPad is out now, and I'm really excited about it. However, if I'm being honest, I have mostly played on my Samsung Galaxy Fold8 for the past few weeks because the experience is simply better there. It's not because the web app is better
