So today Apple launched iPhone Duo. It's like a combination of iPhone and iPad. I think one of my favorite part is ability to use the Apple Pencil on the iPhone. I can just like use that for like scribbling, writing thoughts and exploring. And a person who builds and designs product for living, one of the detail that I really care is like that transition when you change the, you know, when you do the transition of the 2 folds, it blends really well together. So, and it's so good and it's well crafted. Excited to go check it out and try and try it out in the Apple Store and see how I feel about it. But I'm very excited about this new iPhone Duo, and you can do a lot more now with your iPhone.
