I Fixed My iPhone Duo with This One Weird Trick
One of the most satisfying things about having a flip phone back in the day was being able to snap it shut when you were done with a call. You didn’t even have to be hanging up in anger — it was just a cool move.1 One aspect of the iPhone Duo that I am enjoying is akin to this.…

Happy 25th, iPod
Jason Snell: In researching the Designed in California series, I was struck by just how quickly the iPod’s importance was overshadowed by the iPhone. There are barely more than five years between the launch of the iPod and the launch of the iPhone. While both products took time…
