David Pierce and Nilay Patel debate the iPhone Duo’s review score, arguing the device should have been an iPad rather than a phone, and explore the compromises of its outer screen, app optimization, and the $2,000 price tag. They also dive into the PHP vulnerability that caused chaos across the web, the rise of AI shopping agents (with 10 million Muse users already), Netflix’s declining watch time and identity crisis, and FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr’s threat to limit poll coverage.
