Dubai-based Apple & Tesla nerd 🇦🇪 Hands-on device tests, launch-day takes and the UAE angle on every big story. Watching the rest of tech too.

The next 4 weeks are packed for Tesla and Apple fans.

Every date that matters, in UAE time 🧵👇

Apple Stores will greet iPhone Duo buyers by name: the first boot says "Hello, [your name]" 👋 (via Bloomberg's Mark Gurman)

Catch: US only, Duo only, English and Spanish. No Arabic greeting for us in the UAE, at least for now 🇦🇪

Pre-orders open Oct 16, 4pm UAE time.

@mtgproductionss Like the cover is it light weight

[iDriven 🇦🇪 @iDrivenAE]

@LamarMK One only 😅 one pedal is the most I would say

[iDriven 🇦🇪 @iDrivenAE]

@heysaik This what made come back to Apple

[iDriven 🇦🇪 @iDrivenAE]

@TechnovityTech I don’t know anymore when I’ll upgrade the prices are to high

[iDriven 🇦🇪 @iDrivenAE]

@maywrld01 The difference is only the folding to reach better in the pocket

[iDriven 🇦🇪 @iDrivenAE]

Tesla nearly doubled its Texas Cybercab registrations overnight: 169 → 319 (DMV records, via @SawyerMerritt).

NHTSA wants sworn answers by Oct 30 on how a car with no pedals meets brake rules.

Dubai targets 25% autonomous trips by 2030. Cybercab here by 2028? 🇦🇪

@vishlbhardwaj Love the development of this phone brining interesting apps back

[iDriven 🇦🇪 @iDrivenAE]

@dkmitc They car can drive itself but can’t come to me 😩

[iDriven 🇦🇪 @iDrivenAE]

@appleinteligen I’ll still get pro max if I get it I like big screen. Although 14, 15 and 17 pros were all the smaller sizes.

[iDriven 🇦🇪 @iDrivenAE]

@emkwan I want to make EDC all black but I like the white duo.

[iDriven 🇦🇪 @iDrivenAE]

@luke_vacation It’s a good car indeed but is it perfect definitely not.

[iDriven 🇦🇪 @iDrivenAE]

@Kalshi I think the Duo took the sales from it.

[iDriven 🇦🇪 @iDrivenAE]

@TechnovityTech I like it but covering the front screen is a deal breaker for me. As I need every time I use it to open it which defeats the purpose of the front screen.

It's official: Apple's "Welcome home" launch is Tue Oct 13 🏠

Press hands-on in New York starts 9am ET, that's 5pm UAE. No livestream confirmed yet.

Reported lineup: a smart home hub with a screen, new HomePod mini, new Apple TV 4K.

Which one are you buying?

[Greg Joswiak @gregjoz]

Welcome home. October 13.

[iDriven 🇦🇪 @iDrivenAE]

@gregjoz @iDeviceHelpus So rumors were true. Excited 😆

[iDriven 🇦🇪 @iDrivenAE]

@C4ETech For people how love this phone it is but for people who don’t care I guess there aren’t any

[iDriven 🇦🇪 @iDrivenAE]

@myproductguy Waiting for duo to decide or maybe even wait for air 2
