@enggirlfriend It hit me the same way and I think I can find some stability if I can accept that the moral of the story is that humans are flawed. And social media will never let us have another Steve Jobs.

@bhertzog @AnthropicAI @starwars holy fucking shit cool

'it is not for me' is perfectly fine but there are more material things than that your assessment glosses over.

Slab vs iPhone duo to me means; coding (codex/claude), video editing, diary management, piano tutor, data visualisations, and longer form paper reading all went from 'dabble on phone but serious work on the computer' to 'ah, phone is good enough'. This is a material unlock and it makes the new form factor the only way forward for me. I am aware that this is subjective.

I wonder if the 18 Pro Max and iPhone Duo were both £500 and there was a vast ecosystem of 'Duo' apps (imagine e.g. MS Office, Adobe After Effects, music production, photoshop, a really good IDE all optimised for the 7.4 inch Duo): would you still prefer slab - or this 'iPad' that fits in your pocket?

@kimmonismus look at 6.1 Sol 55, lasts all day. Under rated as hell. Opus 5.5 at 59 also has decent mileage (nothing like 6.1 Sol, but its added strength maybe breaks even)

Fable 5.2 is accessible until 16 Nov - it did absolutely tear through my $20 Claude plan. It felt very capable.

@GTA_Unlimited ‘How long will your first GTA 6 gaming session last?’
Yes.

THANK GOODNESS

I got a PS5 Pro from https://t.co/kW8ysYRVJ1. I can play GTA VI.

How to buy a Playstation 5 Pro:

Sharing my method and info because PS5 Pro is rarer than unicorn shit.

- Use Claude Code / ChatGPT Codex to build a PS5 Pro stock Tracker
- Run it on a computer/raspberry Pi checking every minute - set it to send notifications to your phone
- Install 'bark' app (or equivalent) for instant stock notifications that cut through sleep/do not disturb
- sign into Playstatiown Direct, set up address and card info EARLY
- you seem to need to be signed in for 'buy now' to appear, and the site seems to drop the session when stock appears so be prepared for a stressful sign-in scramble when you get an alert
- have things ready on your mobile browser and a desktop browser; stock appeared on desktop but not on my mobile
- The buying windows are dead in 1-5 minutes

so cool. I want to go and see this in London. I love the world wide hype - monoculture is back. We've all been torn across a billion crap pay-to-win games and social media made-for-eyeballs increasingly for the past 10 years. This feels like games and days of yesterday, like Halo 3 (Sept 2007!) everyone is hyped together.

Rockstar are not messing around 🤯

[Tommy @jailbreakersAI]

@emkwan I haven’t had that at all, it feels like a solid unit folded. 6 days in, does it worsen? Was yours always like that? I’m usually hyper sensitive to this kind of thing too.

[Tommy @jailbreakersAI]

for plus users - $20 a month. Can you do more than you could in Nov 2025 with that? Even if it means GPT-6.1 Luna, or Terra? I think the answer is probably yes.

Not going to ass-kiss the evil megacorp, but the thing that I hold sacred is 'can we do as much or more for the money?', 'is it as fast?', 'is it as stable?'. Regressions on those are where I will complain. Fuck the noise around 10x, 50x, benchmarks, model quality. I can imagine by 2030, the top models might be priced out finding new physics, materials and diseases, but the 'plus tier' ones will be super human anyway.

[Tommy @jailbreakersAI]

hey I'm genuinely curious - what do you actually make with AI? I have followed you forever because you compress all the news really well, and it is obvious you use AI a lot - but do you have software and apps? Seemingly, because you're able to justify the $500 tier.
I average around 0.5b tokens daily - and that is only really because I am conservative around usage, I would do 5b a day if it was all-you-can-token. I have websites/apps/software and the 5x tier is working well for me, particularly since the 2x. I feel like I'm the main bottleneck right now, not usage. I actually have 62% usage remaining this week and have been using Astra a fair bit this weekend to spend it.

[Tommy @jailbreakersAI]

@thsottiaux 999 IQ ad for 6.1 Terra lol. Underrated model! this is great https://t.co/hwniS9kRqo

[Tommy @jailbreakersAI]

@thsottiaux GPT 6.1 Terra.

[Tommy @jailbreakersAI]

@thsottiaux GPT 6.1 Terra.

[Tommy @jailbreakersAI]

how did the doggy get to the 'RF' checkpoint? You should have had a usage bar above the players head that depletes as you move (with settings! - Luna lasts forever but less movement, Sol best balance, and Astra depletes in one fucking step). Add a dance flair mechanic where you can spend excess usage (if you climb fast without dying). That's like when you have a reset coming and you can go BRRRrr with fast mode. It's game over if usage hits 0%. Make it seven checkpoints, named 'day 1', 'day 2', 'day 3' and so on. At the top, 'RESET' should reset the game to day one - but with 100% usage. BUT - also have a reset fairy that drops in at random intervals (~5 minutes) that also resets usage to 100% and sends you back to day 1 - make the crowd cheer loudly blinded by the 100%. And the moral of the story is that now you understand what being seven days away from reset certainty feels like. Analogous to the resets resetting my god damn 7 day window just make them all banked resets, damn it. 🫳🎤

@SaleemSKhatri @EzTech231 It changes how you use a phone. I think that one aspect is so good that it is worth the many compromises, all of your negatives are indeed valid.

[Tommy @jailbreakersAI]

It's the most hyped release since Halo 3 (Sept 2007) for me. I look forward to it like a kid on Christmas, emptied my calendar... but the excitement is only turning into pure stress as the days count down. Buying from a scalper is a shit pill to swallow but I'm playing day 1.

[Tommy @jailbreakersAI]

God damn it. GTA VI release date is 19 Nov.

PS5 Pro is sold out.
PS5 Pro rentals just shifted to 18-26 Nov delivery.
PS5 Pro 2X price via scalpers.

Fuck the situation. It's software my PC would run fine.

[Tommy @jailbreakersAI]

I have and I agree! the hinge which can lock at any angle is genuinely useful for that.

The most frequently disorientating situation is in portrait - miss-touching the (upper) right side looking for touch ID (where watch isn't enough, banking apps etc) - that position to the left of the top of the phone is definitely not instinctive after 5 days. It'll click. And don't get me started on the take screenshot shortcut - that's a riddle.
Still love the iPhone Duo.

[Tommy @jailbreakersAI]

5 days with the iPhone Duo.

It's the most compromised phone I've ever owned. It's also the best piece of hardware I've ever used.

9/10. I'm not going back to my 16 Pro Max.

Some impressions from actually living with it:

👎 Disorientation. It isn't mentioned enough! I constantly reach for volume or Touch ID on the wrong edge, or expect controls at the bottom that are now on the side. Good technology should become invisible. Five days in, the Duo keeps reminding me it's there.

👎👎 Face ID. You really don't appreciate it until it's gone. Touch ID feels like a surprisingly big regression. Unlock with Apple watch feels mandatory.

👎 Battery and heat. Underwhelming for a new flagship. BUT I'm running native GTA V, Genshin Impact (looks incredible), and video editing software. I'm really pushing this thing. It gets hot and I've noticed throttling.

👎 Inner display. The matte finish looks beautiful until the slightest finger grease leaves a distracting reflective patch. A damp microfibre sorts it, but I'm wiping this thing far too often.

👎 Durability anxiety. It's a £2,599 folding slab of glass. I hope I never find out how well it survives a drop onto a hard surface.

👍 Folded form factor. Surprisingly, I prefer carrying this to my 16 Pro Max, including when running. Thicker and heavier, yes, but less of a wide slab in my pocket. The outer display is fine.

👍 Camera. Here's a potentially controversial thought: did smartphone cameras cross the "good enough" threshold years ago? I'd still bet on a brilliant photographer with the Duo over an average photographer with an 18 Pro Max. And using the main camera for selfies is a bonus.

Maybe £2599 copium. I'm still deciding.

👍👍 Performance. The A20 Pro is great. Not exclusive to the Duo, but a huge upgrade from my 16 Pro Max. Moving from 256GB to 1TB has also been liberating.

👍👍👍👍 Unfolded. This is everything.

I build apps, and this is the most excited I've been about a new form factor in years. I've already got my UFO video editor and Ball Bros (Smash Bros meets football) running on it. See the video.

This feels like an entirely new canvas for developers.

The screen feels impossibly large for something that lives in my pocket.

I can list endless things Apple needs to fix. But every time I unfold it, I have zero regrets.

9/10. Five days in.

[Tommy @jailbreakersAI]

For new displays, aquarium 4K HDR videos are great and I always wanted to make a digital interactive scene. I will push the pretty visuals and make this look amazing.

Shading magic to be added, the iPhone Duo A20 Pro chip has crazy power.

[Tommy @jailbreakersAI]

Fish God. I made an iPhone Duo aquarium.
