How does @bradleywhitford end up in so many shows I love. The West Wing, The Handmaids Tale, The Diplomat. Great characters, great acting

48 hours with the iPhone Duo, from my perspective
- the inner screen does look a little washed out in some lights, but wow it’s gorgeous, feels like animated, coloured paper
- I’m finding inner screen portrait mode is a dream to type on
- I’m using the outer screen way more than I thought I would, and no the size isn’t really bothering me, coming from a pro max size
- the side bar really isn’t bothering me much
- Touch ID is worse than Face ID but unlock with Apple Watch and turning off rest to unlock helps a lot
- most of my most used apps at min have updated to iOS 27 support. More will come before long though
- the polishing cloth is the only thing that seems to clean the inner display

I know everyone jokes about the Apple Polishing Cloth. But genuinely it’s the only thing that seems to be able to totally clean the Duo nanotexture inner display properly

Companies who offer MFA via text message, I implore you, please allow users to also use an authenticator app. When your mobile provider screws up their network for days you're locked out of your account

You know this 'We've sent a text message to your phone to let you login', all well and great @EE except when I'm trying to login to call you because your service isn't working and I have no signal!

5G+ where I live is absolutely terrible @EE. Signals reported strong but constantly zero acutal connection. Have to airplane mode and reconnect again constantly to get any connectivity. This doesn’t happen on 5G only

So disappointed that my preorder is still backed up to start of November despite ordering right on the dot of store opening and seeing people in store pick up now
What’s the point of offering preorders if they don’t get fulfilled first

I must use the Apple Store app once or twice a year at most. Since the iPhone Duo preorders went live I’ve been checking, what must be, at least once an hour to check if the order has moved up

Watching an old Two and a Half Men episode and they are joking about the washing machine telling Charlie on his cell phone when it’s done. Fast forward to 2026 and my washing machine just sent me a push notification telling me it’s done

Well the prepared pre-order disappeared and had to reselect my Duo, by the time I pressed pay it had already slipped to 2-9th November! Wow

Anyone switched from X Premium to X Plus yet. Is it exactly the same, except you get Cursor access?

I have starlink. It’s registered to the same email as my X account, so why am I constantly flooded with adverts on X to get starlink.

What is going on with mobile networks these days in the UK, if you do make a call, more often than not it’ll drop out, the phone might say I’ve got a 5G connection but it’s like watching a photo download from Usenet in 1996
