Apple’s iPhone Duo has been revealed  

The Apple fan boys are fanboying. My X feed has been lit up with excitement. The dual app view has already turned into a meme. The magic opening and closing animation which seamlessly transitions between the open and closed views has already been recreated on Androids and laptops. The developers are nervous about the work ahead designing for all its new form factors. That animation and the smart way they’ve reconfigured the UI shows Apple has done the foldable better than any of the others in the market. But it’s funny because the actual folding screen is made by Samsung.   

It will be the hottest status symbol around. 

 

Some other Apple innovation caught my eye though...  

Apple has found a way to verify that a photo was taken on an iPhone. In the age of AI and misinformation, verification is going to be key. How do you know that photo was actually real? Apple will now take a copy of the photo, along with the sensor data and “sign” that as a reference image unable to be edited. They’re thinking of it like a digital negative. It’s a great addition and here’s hoping we get more of this type of thing from other phone and camera makers.

Paul Stenhouse: Apple announces iPhone Duo, finds new method of verifying a photo was taken on an iPhone

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/7784f840-c291-422a-924b-ad9000bbad71/clips/e120365f-4f47-410f-99f2-b4c2018b441e/transcript

A beautifully braided pastry, bursting with tart rhubarb, juicy raspberries and warming ginger, all wrapped in golden puff pastry with a sweet almond crunch.   

It’s an eye-catching dessert or morning tea treat that’s easier to make than it looks. Serve it slightly warm with a scoop of ice cream, a dollop of crème fraîche, or thick yoghurt for a real treat.  

Serves 6–8  

Prep time: 20 minutes  

Cook time: 35 minutes  

 

Ingredients  
400g rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 2.5cm pieces  
150g fresh raspberries (or frozen)  
4–5 Tablespoons sugar, to taste   
Zest of 1⁄2 lemon  
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger  
1 teaspoon cornflour (to soak up juices)  
1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon  
1 large sheet puff pastry (about 25–30cm wide x 35–40cm long), kept cold (Note: if you use the Paneton brand, it conveniently comes in this size)  
1 free-range egg  
1 Tablespoon milk, for brushing  
1–2 Tablespoons raw sugar, for sprinkling  
small handful sliced or slivered almonds, for topping  

TO SERVE: ice cream, crème fraîche, or yoghurt  

  

Method 
Preheat oven to 200°C. In a large bowl, gently toss together the rhubarb, raspberries, sugar, lemon zest, grated ginger, cornflour, cinnamon and a pinch of salt.  
Lay the cold sheet of puff pastry on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Spoon the fruit mixture lengthwise down the centre of the pastry, leaving a 6–8cm gap at the top and bottom.  
To braid the pastry, use a sharp knife to cut diagonal slits about 2.5cmapart on each side of the pastry, leaving a 1–2cm gap on either side of the filling. Starting at the top, fold the pastry strips over the filling, alternating sides to create a braid pattern. Gently stretch the strips as you braid and tuck the ends underneath to snuggly encase the filling.  
Whisk together the egg and milk, then brush the braid with the egg wash. Sprinkle over raw sugar and sliced almonds.   
Bake for 35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp, and the filling is bubbling slightly at the seams. Allow to cool for at least 10–15minutes before slicing.  
Serve warm or at room temperature with ice cream, crème fraîche, or yoghurt.
