Episode 42 - Apple Enters the Fold

In Tek With Josh Episode 42, I break down Apple’s September event and the announcements that actually stood out to me. We’re talking about the new iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, silicon-carbon batteries, faster charging, improved cooling, new camera features, and Apple’s push toward running more AI directly on the iPhone.

Then there’s the big one: the iPhone Duo, Apple’s first folding iPhone. I go through what Apple got right, the compromises that come with it, the $2,500 starting price, Apple Pencil support, multitasking, Dual FaceTime, and whether I’m actually interested in buying one.

I also get into the new Apple Watch features that could make dedicated AI recording devices a lot less useful, touch on the AirPods 5, and talk about what Apple didn’t announce—especially the Apple TV I’ve been waiting for.

And while the iPhone Duo may have been Apple’s “one more thing,” it still wasn’t the Apple product that got me to spend money this year. That honor goes to the M5 Ultra Mac Studio I already ordered, which will get its own Tek With Josh episode once it arrives.
