film_girl · x · 2026-11-03
Tech journalist filmgirl responds to auchenberg's dilemma of cancelling his Duo order for an iPhone 18 Pro: the Duo is genuinely fun, but at $2000+ and still requiring a regular iPhone alongside it, she'd return it if it were her only phone — "hard to recommend to most people." Her tip: buy it, try it, and return it if it doesn't click.
