Apple's $1,999 foldable iPhone Duo sold out across all color and storage options within minutes of preorders opening, according to 9to5Mac. Estimated ship dates for buyers now range from January 25 to January 29, 2027.
A hands-on test compared the iPhone 18 Pro's new variable aperture lens at f/1.8 versus its widened f/1.48 setting for Night mode photography. Switching to the wider aperture cut exposure duration in one test shot from 2.1 seconds to 1.7 seconds, with similar modest reductions seen in other shots. The lens can also be manually stopped down to f/4 to deliberately lengthen exposures, such as for smoothing moving water.
Amazon is now offering the first discount on pre-orders of Apple's next-generation Apple TV 4K, pricing it at $289.99 versus the $299 list price.

The discount comes alongside other Apple deals, including $50 off AirPods Pro 3, cuts on HomeView units, and a $430 discount on a 1TB M5 Pro MacBook Pro configuration.

A tech writer who has used the iPhone 18 Pro for a month reports strong satisfaction with three features: battery life that often leaves 60% charge at day's end, a variable-aperture Main camera that consistently produces sharp Auto-mode photos, and a new vapor chamber cooling system that keeps the phone responsive in hot, sunny conditions. The reviewer contrasts this year's Main camera upgrade with recent years, when Apple focused more on Telephoto, Ultra Wide, and Front camera improvements.
