ShortCircuit's iPhone Duo inspires a plea for an "iPhone Solo"

The office reaction clip joins Brad's longer phone walkthrough, a 3D scanner and a compact Razer keyboard in a four-upload week.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

LMG Staff React to iPhone Duo

ShortCircuit put the iPhone Duo into staff members' hands, and one immediately wanted less of it: "Give me the iPhone Solo. I don't need this open, close, jimbo jambo."

That neatly captures the most interesting thread in "LMG Staff React to iPhone Duo". One colleague tries a piano app and discovers the phone can stand folded upright; another misses Face ID. But the shorter, wider shape gets an endorsement of its own, separate from the folding mechanism. Viewers pick up that distinction, discussing whether a compact, passport-shaped slab would be more appealing than a phone that opens.

The reaction clip reached roughly 346,000 views, making it the week's most-watched upload and the channel's busiest video right now. Brad's longer "The First New iPhone Shape In Years - iPhone Duo" supplies the more methodical companion, moving through build quality, app optimization, thermals and cameras before its usability verdict.

Away from phones, "Copy/Paste in Real Life - Creality Sermoon P1" explores scanning modes, calibration and model alignment, with firmware-update troubles along the way. That video includes an MSI sponsorship. The newest upload, "A great deal from Razer? - Reclusa x Mini 65", takes a compact keyboard through software setup, Deadlock and a typing test. It is currently attracting more daily views than the longer Duo walkthrough.

Subscribers held steady, while daily viewing is running at about a third of ShortCircuit's usual pace. Nearby in tech, Hayls World is drawing slightly more daily viewing than usual, while Gamers Nexus is having a slower spell. For ShortCircuit, the week's liveliest conversation is unusually specific: not simply whether a phone should fold, but whether its closed shape deserves a phone of its own.

What viewers say

So everyone wants a passport shaped screen that doesn’t open or fold, glad we’re all on the same page

Bring back the Blackberry Passport form factor. A lot of people would love to have a wider screen in a smaller case.

I do think the duo's form factor for a regular slab phone would also be slick.

Fr, I'd love a phone that's just the outside of the fold 8 or the iPhone duo. Perfect dimensions

I’m 31 and I agree with the first guy. Gimme iPhone solo

People in comments are confusing the passport aspect ratio with the mini.

Both aren’t the same

A shorter and wider screen is better than a longer and narrower screen. The former rests naturally in the hand, reminiscent of the Blackberry Passport

Dude imagine a phone that had a 4:3 screen. Lowk peak?
