I’ve been an iPhone user since day one and have not wanted to use any other brand. The first couple of years that it came out I did understand the excitement, but I don’t understand it anymore. They’re not revolutionary better or different. iPhone duo definitely is but it’s not the first foldable in the market.

Unbelievable. All that money apple and people spend on a colour

Then these same people complain about the price of groceries and gas. The government looks at these social settings and determines, if people can find over $1,000 to buy a new iPhone, some upgrading from last years Pro Max. How is the economy in bad shape? Are these K shaped economy participants, are we looking at people going into credit card debit to satisfy FOMO and euphoria of having something new? I admit, I have FOMO about getting the Duo using the Klarna upgrade program even though I could buy it outright. But there comes a point when delayed gratification needs to take the lead. Many of these customers could easily prolong their iPhones many of which are still capable of running iOS 27 without the extra debt.

small heads up if youre in the us, the 18 pro max teardown confirmed it runs a qualcomm modem not apples own C2, so its not quite the all in house thing it looks like

Thanks Bridget! You’re my favorite person at CNET 🙂

Buying an iPhone 18 pro and then buying the duo is absolutely nuts

As the $SPCX hype fades, experienced investors are securing profits and shifting funds directly into SPXELIX.
@RaySarette
September 19, 2026 at 8:04 pm
Great explanation, but I am still not sure if you prefer Bitcoin or SPXELIX.
@SeraGresham
September 19, 2026 at 8:06 pm
Take action while you still can. $SPXELIX will never be at this price again. 🚀

I work in cellular and there were no lines outside of any stores. This is a publicity stunt for apple to make it look like people still line up on iPhone launch days. News flash, they don’t.

I did the same thing. I got the black one as well. It just looks slick, especially with my case that I put on it, because it’s black as well. simplicity is key

News: Face ID doesn’t work for everyone on the 18 pro.
@Gravage
September 20, 2026 at 9:05 am
I can’t believe people still line up like cattle to buy something you can have delivered to your door the same day. I have never waited in line for an iPhone and never will.

Bridget you are a lovely hot mess. I need more content lol
@tron1007r
September 20, 2026 at 12:51 pm
People are such sheep. Standing in line fore what?
The same phone with a different number on it? LOL. You can get the phone a week later with no line.
I just don’t understand the hype. The Duo is an absolute 8 year late joke. Samsung’s is way better and they make the iPhone’s screen.
@rayray117

I can’t wait to buy this in 5 years on eBay with a cracked screen on the lowest price possible.
