Apple's iPhone Duo represents a shift toward gestural computing, where folding screens and mechanical interactions create new user gestures beyond traditional touch. The device's variable, multi-modal surface enables multiple form factors—book, laptop, tablet—marking a 2.0 evolution that will eventually extend to other Apple devices while raising questions about the future of the traditional iPhone design.
Horace Dediu analyzes Apple's foldable iPhone Duo as a shift toward gestural computing, where variable surfaces and mechanical interactions create new gesture languages beyond traditional touch. The folding mechanism represents a departure from two decades of static glass rectangles, introducing a paradigm comparable to the flip phone era, though now centered on enabling new user interactions and form factors across Apple's product line.
Nokia hosted an AI-RAN webinar with NVIDIA and SoftBank, discussing plans to achieve 2× spectral efficiency by 2028 and deploy AI-RAN commercially. The companies envision transforming RAN infrastructure into an AI revenue asset, with NVIDIA projecting distributed inference could account for ~60% of AI data-center demand by 2030.
