A CNET columnist spent about 20 minutes testing Apple's foldable iPhone Duo at a Seattle store after initially dismissing the $2,000 device as not for him. He praised the unfolding animation and interior glow in tent mode, though he still favors the iPhone 18 Pro's camera for photography work. Colleague Abrar Al-Heeti, who has used the Duo more extensively, said its cost and limited availability show it isn't for everyone, but that she has no plans to return to a traditional phone.

Breville has launched the Eye Q 850 Auto Toaster, a $300 device that uses a pulsing internal light sensor to track the bread's color as it toasts, rather than relying solely on a timer or fixed temperature settings. A CNET reviewer tested the toaster for a month and found the sensor-based approach generally delivers consistent results, though with some caveats worth noting. The sensor only operates in the left slot, and the machine features a motorized lift instead of a spring-loaded pop-up mechanism.

CNET is revisiting its original 2007 review of the first iPhone, written by Kent German and Donald Bell, as Apple prepares to launch the foldable iPhone Duo starting at $2,000. The original review praised the iPhone's design but criticized its missing features, slow EDGE network, and $499 price tag, which required a two-year AT&T contract.
