iPhone Duo vs iPad: Has Apple Created the Photographer’s New Pocket Darkroom?
Apple’s first foldable iPhone does something more consequential for photographers than simply bending. With a 7.6-inch inner display, Apple Pencil support and a camera built into the same device, iPhone Duo begins to occupy territory previously reserved for the iPad. The question is not whether it can replace Apple’s tablet, but how much iPad a photographer still needs away from the studio. For most of mobile photography’s history, the workflow has involved a quiet compromise. The iPhone is the camera that is always with us, but the larger screen is the place where serious looking begins. We capture on one device, transfer or synchronise to another, then edit, sequence, annotate…
iPhone Duo vs Motorola Razr Fold: iOS or Android – Which Makes More Sense for Photographers?
The arrival of Apple’s iPhone Duo makes 2026 an important year for foldable smartphones, although Apple is entering a category that other manufacturers have already spent several years developing.

A folding smartphone only becomes genuinely interesting photographically if the form itself changes what we can do with…
Andy Warhol x CASETiFY Factory Collection Celebrates the Silver Factory
There are some collaborations that feel almost inevitable. Andy Warhol spent his career questioning originality, repetition and mass production, transforming familiar images into works that challenged the very definition of art. More than half a century later, we carry our own canvases in our pockets. Smartphones have become the cameras, sketchbooks, portfolios and publishing platforms of our time, making CASETiFY‘s latest collaboration with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts feel both timely and surprisingly appropriate. Launching today, the new Andy Warhol x CASETiFY Factory Collection shifts the focus away from Warhol’s instantly recognisable Pop Art imagery alone to celebrate something arguably even more influential: The Factory itself. For…
