I don't really considered the Iphone fold 1st gen as basically the innards are an Iphone 17/18 and the outards they have had plenty to copy from and put Apple spin on it.

Only specific changes in IOS could be clunky or buggy which would be ironed out with updates

I will get one to replace my IP16P and I have a £590 credit for trading in my old MBP16 M2


I have no intention of purchasing a foldable, but the Apple foldable might have some surprises up its sleeve.

iOS 27 will allow iPhone users to use two devices with one number on an os level. Can’t wait to see how they will swing that.

Apple devices are vertically integrated after all.

Been doing this for like 15 years here. It's called "Multisim". I currently use the same sim simultaneously in 3 phones and one tablet. If someone calls, all devices ring and the others automatically stop ringing, once you pick up the call on one of the devices. Data plan is shared among all these clones. It's very convenient to stay connected no matter which device you decide to leave the house with today
 
Which network is that with? Great if you are a phone fiend like most of us and just want to grab a different phone each day etc!

Ps how do you get around WhatsApp being on only 1 phone in that case?

With whatsapp you can use linked devices, so one phone is the "Parent" phone and the rest sync of that. I use it on the whatsapp app on my laptop

I've had a Google voice number forever, when someone calls that number all my phones ring even if they don't have an active SIM. Or if I get messages on my phones get the messages.

@Bkdodger You sir are a genius, I never even knew this existed! Trying this as I speak!
It's excellent I use it mainly for my work phone, so what I do is I have all my work calls forward to that number so that I know it's work related, now I can pick up a work call from any device. Another awesome thing is you can set up your voicemail box any way you want you can get emails with the transcript of the message if you wish or you can just see it on the app on the phone. If you don't use it for work you can also just give someone that number instead of your regular number and break stuff up that way too.

Sadly it doesn't seem to work in Dubai, even if I am using a VPN as I do with WhatsApp. AI says it's predominantly a US centric app and works also in some European countries.

I know all about multi sim.

My operator allows 5 extra sims with the same number simultaneously to be used.

But Apple is doing it on an os level perhaps without an additional sim on iOS 27. Very exciting indeed. 🤯
 
Anybody interested in the new watch from samsung?

Posters leaked.

I might be, but currently nothing wrong with my Galaxy Watch Ultra. Battery life is still good for 2-3 days. The GWU 2 will need to offer more to persuade me to trade in my white GWU.
It being slightly thinner doesn’t appeal to you? 2-3 days worth of battery life? That’s pretty good… you must disable AOD?

I keep AOD enabled, just looks more premium that way. I don't do a whole lot with my GWU. Brand new it used to last 3-4 days. I basically have it displaying notifications, weather, calendar, heart rate, steps, and swim workouts. I don't attend fitness classes at the clubhouse anymore so the watch isn't tracking as much activity as before.

After two years the original GWU feels slightly sluggish, but that's about it. I really like the Titanium White color though and it looks like the GWU 2 is exclusively dark colorways.

Same. I have both but prefer my AWU 2. Honestly, even though the Pixel Watch 3 is kinda small looking on me, I like it almost as much as the AWU and is my second most used watch.
Surprised you didn't upgrade to the Pixel Watch 4... consensus is that its a huge improvement over the previous model, definitely enjoying mine. My only complaint is that I can't find a tall watch stand... it's completely nonexistent.

Rumor is it’s 12% thinner and might be more expensive.

Don’t know if that would persuade you.
