Got my hands on the iPhone Duo. So far, the internal screen is really impressive, but stay tuned for my longer hands-on video soon!
Well, this is where we are now. Apple is introducing Apple Reference Image, its way of digitally watermarking photos to verify that they were actually captured by a camera—not generated by AI.

I now Brick my phone every weekend and I feel like a better person. I finally understand why people rave about this $59 piece of plastic.
My interview with OpenAI President Greg Brockman is up. Some of the headlines:
- He admits ChatGPT desktop app is a mess, but will get better
- New devices are coming soon
- The Apple fight isn’t slowing them down
- Voice is a very big deal and Brockman thinks it will be the primary interface in future
Plus, I let ChatGPT ask interview questions. Watch the whole thing.

First United flight with Starlink. Absolute game changer. Cannot come soon enough to bigger planes and cross-country flights.
For the first time since about 2010 I was sad to not be at Computex this week. I’m genuinely excited about Nvidia's RTX Spark. The idea of having AI agents running locally on a laptop or desktop—not always in the cloud—is one of the most interesting shifts in computing.
But—and this is a big BUT!—I’ve also covered tech long enough to remember a lot of promises about the future of the PC. Meanwhile, Apple’s M series have completely reshaped our expectations of performance and battery life.
The hardware doesn’t arrive until the fall. I’ll be first in line to test whether this is truly a new era for PCs or just another keynote!
