"It's a bit lighter. The one you got there is 4.7 lbs. The new one looks identical, but they reworked the internals so now it's 4 lb. It feels much lighter... the OLED is a selling point. And the Dynamic Island is pretty nifty."

"The new Siri is really good. And 95% of the people are not going to need ChatGPT on their phone because they have Siri AI pre-installed. Siri AI does a lot of amazing things that you'd go to ChatGPT for — looking things up, answering questions, doing edits. These are real-world workflow features that I've been using all day for the last week."

"That flap on the Folio, it just covers that up and makes it pretty cumbersome to use. And so I've had great experience with the cheaper $80 Apple standard case. So if you get a Duo, I would highly recommend that."
What Mark warns against
Things Mark says to avoid or be careful with. Other experts don't always agree.
"The Gemini powered Siri was supposed to launch this month. They were supposed to hold an event in New York about two weeks ago to walk press through the new Siri. They've continued to face delays there."
"I had the folio case initially. Piece of crap... So if you're going to get the official Apple case, don't get the folio."

- Gemini Uses it "You call it Apple Intelligence, I call it Apple not so intelligent, but still Gemini in there. I like the Gemini model. If I ask it a question like tell me the history of the Roman Empire, it's going to give me an essay about that that's going to be written clearly." +71 others
- Studio Display XDR Recommends it "I think this new Studio Display XDR is going to be pretty popular. I'm actually probably going to get one myself for my office at home. So, I'm pretty pumped for it." +1 other
