I'm Getting iPhone Duo [Friday Wrap-Up]

This week I talk about the iPhone Duo — my first real foldable — and why I'll trade away the telephoto lens, action button, and fast charging (and swallow a $2,100 price plus the end of the annual upgrade program) for a big anti-glare screen that folds into my pocket and takes an Apple Pencil.

Then an episode of Ditching Hourly with Nick Richtsmeier on doing things that don't scale and focusing on impact, which sold me on his new book, The Damn Rules. And a recommendation for You Can See Everything, the A24 documentary following Elizabeth Holmes in the weeks before she began her prison sentence, which premiered at the Telluride Film Festival.

Plus this week's systems tip: a Claude skill that splits one long recording into separate episodes by detecting the claps between them, then transcribes, titles, and schedules each one on rss.com.
