A folding iPhone that 'doesn't make sense' and a year with the Air for Luke Miani

His short on the iPhone Duo has passed 1.6 million views in under a month, while a new essay explains why switching to the iPhone 18 Pro left him torn.

iPhone Duo doesn’t make sense #iphoneduo #apple #foldableiphone

Luke Miani's channel usually runs at close to 60,000 views a day. Right now it is nearer half that, and the only new upload was a brief sponsored short about an iPhone 18 Pro Max case. Its comment section was mostly about the format itself, with several viewers asking why an advert had landed in their feed.

The real momentum comes from older work. "iPhone Duo doesn't make sense", his short skeptical take on Apple's foldable, is 27 days old and has passed 1.6 million views. It is still the busiest thing on the channel every day.

Behind it sits "iPhone Air Broke Me," a 12-day-old video essay. After a year with the iPhone Air, Luke moved to the iPhone 18 Pro expecting to win back a pile of features. A week in, he was not so sure, and his chapters run from why the Air makes sense to why it makes none, ending on the idea that the Air is a time capsule. His M6 Mac mini review, a run of benchmarks, gaming tests and video editing on Apple's first 2nm Mac chip, follows close behind.

Subscribers held steady. Among tech review channels of a similar size, almost everyone is running below their usual pace. Alex Ziskind had by far the biggest week, and only David Manning kept to his normal rhythm. Luke's is one of the quieter corners of the group, carried by a foldable he does not quite believe in.
