Apple recently unveiled its first folding smartphone, an event that provided a significant platform for CEO John Ternus in his inaugural appearance leading the company. On the latest episode of The Vergecast, hosts and guests examine the implications of this launch, questioning whether the tech giant is venturing into risky territory with its newly announced AI features for the Apple Watch.
Allison Johnson joined the discussion after testing the new iPhones in Cupertino. The conversation focused heavily on the iPhone 18 Pro, specifically addressing lingering questions regarding its variable aperture camera system and evaluating whether it represents a substantial upgrade for consumers.
Interesting that Ternus got so much spotlight. Feels like Apple is really trying to shift its public image.
Variable aperture on the iPhone 18 Pro sounds nice, but I’m waiting for real-world sample shots before upgrading.
An Apple Watch with AI? I hope it’s not just another gimmick that drains the battery in hours.
I’ve been waiting for Apple to make a foldable. Finally, they might have gotten it right with this design.
