What happens when Apple launches its first folding iPhone, the internet goes into meltdown and Bobby decides he absolutely must have two of them?
Welcome to another completely unplanned, entirely unfiltered episode of Tailoring Talk Magazine!
Bobby's out walking Bailey, Jon's enjoying a glass of wine at the start of half term and what was supposed to be a quick catch-up turns into 35 minutes of flying cars, folding phones and some increasingly creative financial justification.
First, Jon introduces Bobby to Tesla's extraordinary new Roadster. We're talking rocket thrusters, driving upside down, acceleration figures that seem to defy physics and a car that can apparently leap over other vehicles. It's the sort of thing we grew up watching in Back to the Future and Blade Runner. Except now Elon Musk has actually demonstrated it.
Then it's Bobby's turn.
Apple's iPhone Duo pre-orders opened on Friday and what should have been a straightforward purchase turned into three hours of frustration. Apple's website wouldn't cooperate, John Lewis sold out while Bobby was trying to check out and delivery dates started slipping into 2027.
But against the odds, Bobby managed to secure not one but TWO iPhone Duos for launch day.
Naturally, this leads to a lengthy explanation of why spending £4,200 on phones is actually a very sensible financial decision. Jon isn't entirely convinced.
Along the way, we discuss whether foldable phones could eventually replace traditional smartphones, Apple's increasingly expensive ecosystem, the importance of AppleCare and whether anyone really needs to own quite so many gadgets.
We also catch up on Jon's new Kia EV3, the very welcome conclusion of his Nissan nightmare and what's coming next on the channel, including reviews of the iPhone 18 Pro Max, AirPods 5 and the iPhone Duo itself.
No script. No agenda. Just two mates talking about technology, cars and the things that make us excited about the future.
