Welcome to the Techusiast channel! I'm Roland Udvarlaki, better known as Techusiast.

I've been creating videos since 2017 and have been in the tech industry and journalist space for nearly a decade. Here are the types of videos you can expect from my channel in 2025 and beyond.

If you do that...just get the regular iPhone 😂 Terrible advice! It's designed to be folded and unfolded, and while it is good practice to unfold it when it's hot and you need to charge it (to help dissipate heat more evenly), it's designed to handle it. Don't listen to this! 🤯

[TechDroider @techdroider]

Keep your iPhone Duo Unfolded whenever IT'S NOT IN USE.

When charging, leave it unfolded. When placing it on your desk, keep it unfolded. Even when going to sleep, leave it unfolded.

When a foldable phone is closed, its display and hinge remain in a bent position. Keeping it folded for extended periods could put prolonged stress on the display layers and hinge mechanism. Leaving it unfolded allows the display to rest in its natural, flat position.

After seeing what happened to my Galaxy Z Fold 7 after keeping it folded on a shelf for two months, I'd rather take this precaution than risk unnecessary long-term stress on the display and hinge.

@AndruEdwards I actually think a trackpad is faster to edit with, but the ultimate way I found is using both a mouse and the Magic Trackpad. Easier to zoom in and out, and scroll through the tineline, as well as doing a few delecate movements that require more precise controls

[Roland Udvarlaki @Techusiast]

I tagged the wrong @GeminiApp 😅

[Roland Udvarlaki @Techusiast]

I just asked Gemini to turn on my TV, and it started speaking Korean? 😂 Seems like it heard something entirely different instead of "turn on the TV".

Gemini seems to be acting up nowadays. Sometimes, when I ask it to do a calculation for me, it'll straight up say the code out loud for 1-2mins, before correcting itself.

@Gemini, you might want to check what's going on. As always, reported 👌

Unboxing the Arc Pulse Frameless Case for iPhone 18 Pro in this awesome Light Blue version. It gives your smartphone a genuine feel and offers 10ft (3m) drop protection. It's made of premium aerospace-grade metal that keeps the sides shiny and protects it in a fall.

This feels so good, unlike anything I've ever tried. If you want to feel your phone as it was intended while keeping it safe, this is an excellent alternative to full-fledged cases!

I'm happy to see Apple backtrack on its touchscreen display promise and finally deliver it, but now, the problem is that macOS itself isn't exactly touch-optimized.

I'm sure that'll change (and Apple did make a few changes in macOS 27), but I'm happy to see even more options on the MacBook Pro lineup!

[Tim Cook @tim_cook]

We brought Touch to the Mac!

From the all-new iPad mini to the 14-inch MacBook Pro and iMac... and now MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and Touch, creators have new tools to do their best work yet.

[Roland Udvarlaki @Techusiast]

The glowing Apple logo is back! Good to see you, old friend!

[John Ternus @johnternus]

We’re glowing with excitement over the new MacBook Pro. You’ve gotta touch it to believe it.

[Roland Udvarlaki @Techusiast]

Finally checked out the iPhone Duo in person, and I must admit it looks much better than in the images. But my opinion still stands.

I'm so glad to see iPhone users finally join the foldable trend! It's a major win for everyone who can take advantage of all the extra space!

[Roland Udvarlaki @Techusiast]

After catching up on the iPhone Duo coverage, I feel like Apple missed the mark here. As someone who has daily-driven foldables for over 5 years, this looks like a classic first-gen stumble. If you are on the fence about spending that kind of money, I’d wait for the Duo 2, or at least hold out a few months (though with current stock constraints, you might not have a choice anyway). (Full disclosure: I haven’t used or seen one in hand yet.)

Early app scaling issues will iron out over time, and a second generation will undoubtedly shave off weight. Those aren't deal-breakers to me; the developer ecosystem adapts fast. What won’t change overnight, though, is Apple’s UI decision to place the status bar on the right side.

I see the logic: on a wide main display, a sidebar puts key controls within thumb reach. But in practice:

- It punishes left-handed users (on cover screen)
- Most people use wide foldables two-handed anyway
- It eats into valuable horizontal screen real estate (in both states)

On a passport-style foldable that is already relatively short, reaching the top simply isn't the problem Apple seems to think it is. Sticking with a traditional top status bar would have been a far cleaner, and a less intrusive choice.

What do you think? Obviously, this is just my take based on years of using different form factors, and some might love the layout. Let's debate it! 👇

Unboxing the ESR Xtend 45W GaN Retractable Charger with USB-C Cable, compatible with most modern smartphones, tablets, and even laptops!. It features a 3.1ft (95cm) built-in, retractable USB-C cable, plus a separate USB-C port. It charges two devices at once and is durable enough to withstand 10,000+ bends!

It's a small power brick, and the added retractable cable makes it a great choice for the holidays and travel, when you need an extra port to charge your phone and other devices. It's portable, lightweight, and fits seamlessly in most pockets and bags.
