Apple today introduced more than 50 third-party apps from the App Store that are or soon will be fully optimized for the iPhone Duo and its various layouts and poses.
You can hold iPhone Duo and lay it down in several ways, such as partially folded like a book, lying on a surface, or resting on its edges:
With the Netflix app, for example, Apple said iPhone Duo users can scroll through a stream of short vertical movie and TV show clips on the outer screen to discover something new to watch, then open the device to continue watching on the inner screen. Apple’s screenshot shows the Netflix app on an iPhone Duo in a “sitting” pose.
Apple also introduced Amazon’s Prime Video app in a “sitting” position.
The official MLB app was updated yesterday with iPhone Duo support and now displays live games, scores, stats and more across the full width of the interior screen.
In the Zoom app, iPhone Duo users can see shared content and other participants simultaneously.
Slack and Lyft also take full advantage of the iPhone Duo’s larger interior screen.
In the coming weeks, Apple announced that Microsoft’s Word and Outlook apps would roll out a “desktop experience” that would include Word’s formatting tools appearing next to a document and Outlook’s inbox appearing next to a full message.
Other apps and games that are or will soon be optimized for iPhone Duo include Flighty, Fantastical, Things, Bear, Notewise, SmartGym, Airmail, Paramount+, PGA Tour, Instagram, Edits, Sneaky Sasquatch, Retrocade, NYT Cooking, Lowe’s, DoorDash, OpenTable, Yelp, American Airlines, United Airlines, Weibo, and more.
All existing iPhone apps can work on iPhone Duo, but their appearance varies depending on whether they use the iOS 26, iOS 27, or iOS 27.1 SDK.
