Samsung this week launched an advertising campaign mocking the display issues some people have had with the iPhone Duo . In an Instagram post on its Canadian account, Samsung shared several images showing a bright line through the spot where ‌iPhone Duo‌ models have been experiencing display problems. There are three images, each with different text: Folding is nothing new to us Folding. We know a thing or eight. Switch to Galaxy Z Fold8 A Samsung spokesperson said it's a "playful new campaign" that taps into the conversation about the "growing rivalry in foldables and how experience plays in the category." The first Galaxy foldable smartphone came out in September 2019, and the company introduced its eighth-generation Galaxy Z Fold8 three months ahead of when the ‌iPhone Duo‌ debuted. Shortly after the ‌iPhone Duo‌ launched, some customers ran into hinge issues that caused cracks in the inner display . Affected devices seem to break in the same spot, with a bright line appearing on the OLED screen. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Samsung Canada (@samsungcanada) Apple said it is aware of the issue and that only a small number of ‌iPhone Duo‌ units have a problem. Customers who have a faulty device will see the issue early on, and users with a broken ‌iPhone Duo‌ should contact Apple for a replacement. The response to iPhone Duo from early users has been incredibly positive, and we are seeing exciting things from developers who are rapidly updating their apps to take advantage of its unique form factor. We are aware of an issue impacting the inner display on a small number of iPhone Duo units. If users experience issues with their iPhone Duo display, they should contact AppleCare for a replacement. The ‌iPhone Duo‌ is backordered until January for online orders, though Apple has had some in-store stock available sporadically. There do not appear to be supply issues for the Galaxy Z Fold8, with many colors and capacities delivering on November 3. Apple's ‌iPhone Duo‌ is priced starting at $1,999 for 256GB of storage, while Samsung is charging $1,899 for the same capacity.

Apple on Wednesday unveiled new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with touch-enabled OLED displays , and more details about them continue to be shared by tech reporters who were invited to Apple's hands-on experience in Los Angeles. Nicolas Lellouche of the French website Numerama shared 15 details about the new MacBook Pro models in an article and a social media post . Some of this information has already surfaced, but he provided a useful summary: Apple said the keyboard and trackpad remain the primary input methods, with touch input available as an additional option for those who want it. Apple said there is now a generation of young creators who grew up using touchscreens, so it felt the timing was right to bring the functionality to the Mac. Apple said music creators prefer touch over trackpads for controlling virtual instruments. "Traffic light" controls in the top-left corner of macOS windows expand when pressed. Items in a list become more spaced out when touched. A swipe up from the bottom of the screen brings up the Dock. A swipe down from the top of the screen brings up Spotlight/Siri AI. A long press is equivalent to a right click. Holding a window and quickly moving it left or right triggers Split View. If you close your Mac while your finger is touching the display, touch input is temporarily deactivated to prevent accidental touches. The camera is stabilized so it does not shake on video calls when you touch the screen. You cannot wake the MacBook Pro by touching the screen. Multi-touch supports up to 10 fingers at the same time. No word yet on toes (kidding). Live Activities from iPhone apps can appear in the Dynamic Island. There are settings that allow you to turn off touch input and the illuminated Apple logo on the MacBook Pro's lid. The new MacBook Pro models can be pre-ordered now and launch Friday, November 6.
