Apple iPhone Duo review: Two screens, two experiences, two thousand dollars
I understand the appeal of foldable phones—they let manufacturers keep expanding screen sizes while still producing devices that can reasonably fit in a pocket.

iPhone Lockdown Mode: The pros and cons of enabling Apple's security feature
Lockdown Mode makes your iPhone much more secure against spyware, but most people don't need to use it. The iPhone's Lockdown Mode has been around since 2022, but you might not have heard about it, let alone used it.
