Howdy! I’m a Midwest regional dry van trucker and aspiring photographer & videographer. I also may have a bit of a YouTube addiction.

A lot of people have been asking me about the @Blackmagic_News 20% OFF sale currently happening until November 20th.

Yes, DaVinci Resolve Studio is on sale for $236 USD (lifetime license) as compared to it's usual $295 USD.

But! A bunch of Blackmagic Design hardware is also on sale and many of them come with a full DaVinci Resolve Studio license INCLUDED!

Some of them are killer deals.
Like spending an extra $54 over the usual license price for a Speed Editor and also getting a full DaVinci Resolve Studio license included for FREE!

I spoke with the team and the main product page has been updated with all of items that are on sale and it clearly shows which include DaVinci Resolve Studio.

You can check out what's on sale HERE:

@Daniel_Batal @Blackmagic_News Ok yeah it’s just a few editors and panels on sale, none of the items they had to raise prices on recently.

[Brad Fogle @foglebr]

@Daniel_Batal @Blackmagic_News Interesting, I’m going to have to do some research regarding their recent price increases as well. Wonder if some of the “sale” prices end up just being the previous retail prices?

Ok yeah the iPad Tesla app is sweet. I’m loving all of the updates these apps are getting because of the Duo release. It feels like the rebirth of iPad comes as a direct result too 🤓

Apple ran a graphite pipe through the iPhone Duo's hinge to cool it...

Apple's first foldable has the heat problem every foldable has: it's thin when it's open, and its thickness doubles when you close it. Apple's engineers told PCMag that their fix was to route a flexible graphite pipe through the hinge itself, so heat can move between the two halves of the phone. I love that the hinge, the part everybody worries about on a folding phone, got a second job.

Banafsheh Barabadi, Apple's senior manager of thermal product design, called it "one of the most technically challenging aspects of our design." Moving heat across both halves gives the phone more surface area to get rid of it, PCMag reported. She said the thermal and mechanical teams had to engineer the part together, because it has to survive "many hinge cycles" while still carrying heat and holding together for the life of the phone.

The Duo gets its own cooling layout inside, too. PCMag reported its vapor chamber is thinner than the one in the iPhone 18 Pro and floats in the middle of the phone instead of serving as part of its frame. 9to5Mac, writing up the same interview, noted that the Duo's version of the A20 Pro chip has a second display engine so the inner and outer screens can run at the same time.

The performance numbers are Apple's. Barabadi said the latest iPhones achieve "35% higher sustained GPU performance than iPhone 17 Pro," and PCMag said it hasn't tested the A20 Pro in the Duo yet but expects to in the coming weeks.

If you've ordered one, I'd wait for those reviews before counting on it for long gaming sessions or long video recordings, the sustained workloads where Barabadi said the gains show up. And since the pipe lives in the hinge, I'd want any review that folds the phone a few thousand times to check heat as well as wear.

It's a clever trick. Now the hinge has two jobs to survive.

@MacRumors I’m looking forward to how disappointed I’ll be using this thing with an iPhone 16PM, the original phone built for Apple Intelligence. 🙃

At least there’s another using in my household with a iPhone 17PM, so they might actually be able to fully utilize the HomeView I’ve ordered.

[Brad Fogle @foglebr]

@LiamFromOrlando @9to5mac @bzamayo It has Touch ID. There’s a delay setting pre-activated. There’s a toggle in settings to turn off the unlock delay.

Sorry folks, no Creator Coffee Talk today.

[Brad Fogle @foglebr]

@Davidimel I’m assuming the HomeView Face Recognition unlock will be brought over to a Duo 2. With TouchID for secure purposes like settings access, passwords and payments.
