    • heart-rate measurements 60× more frequently
    • “heart rate viability” 24× more frequently
    • claims increased accuracy; cites an Apple-paid study outperforming popular fitness bands
  • New software metrics:
    • Readiness Score (readiness for the day using new data)
    • age score + longevity analysis (similar to existing third-party approaches)
  • Partner blood tests (US-specific per narrator):
    • blood tests with partners feeding into Apple Health
  • New capabilities:
    • sound recognition (ringing/fire alarm)
    • live rewind: rewinds the last ~15 seconds and shows a text recording (narrator says not in the EU)

    • discusses “Siri Recap” (transcribe/summarize meetings without recordings being accessible)
    • narrator claims Siri Recap won’t arrive in the EU due to regulatory/feature access conflict.

iPhone “Duo” (foldable) — software behavior & form factor

  • The device is framed as the “du” (not “Ultra”/“Fold”).
  • Hardware design:
    • fold support from below to minimize the display groove
    • camera under the display
    • uses an internal display + outer display with coordinated UI behavior
    • narrator notes sand visible in the intro video (suggesting concerns about handling conditions)
  • Software UI response (main explanation of “how Apple envisions software”):
    • due to wider aspect ratio, UI buttons shift/move to the right when unfolded / on the outside
    • notes RTL language implications (right-to-left languages)
    • Dock placement moves to the side on the iPhone Duo (open and closed)
    • multitasking:
      • two apps side-by-side or stacked vertically in portrait
      • UI elements change by device angle
        • e.g., image top + video controls bottom, or a keyboard-like layout
    • subtle “quality of life” detail:
      • inner display can provide ambient lighting when the alarm triggers
  • Biometrics tradeoff:
    • no room for Face ID sensor
    • uses Touch ID in a button (comparison to iPad mini)
    • unlocking possible via Apple Watch (like laptop unlock)
  • Audio / speakers:
    • speakers unfold at top-left and bottom-right; narrator is curious about sound quality
  • Apple Pencil support:
    • uses Apple Pencil both inside and outside → narrator says they’re “completely sold”
  • Display construction & performance:
    • display layer uses stacked thinner layers designed to move slightly during motion (to reduce groove impact)
    • mentions A20 processor and C2 modem
    • battery life: labeled “All Day”; playback times said to be near Pro Max for the outer display
  • Camera note:
    • described as “same as new Pro,” but narrator suggests variable aperture may be missing
    • mentions testing with a short telephoto; uncertain about missing wide-angle
  • FaceTime advantage:
    • outer display as a viewfinder
    • can show the other person during FaceTime to people around the user (e.g., kids/jumping around)

  • iPhone Duo positioned between multiple tiers:
    • 256GB: €2300
