iPhone Duo can add fake bezel to the outside screen for better case compatibility

Blogger Nicolas Lellouche discovered a new setting within the iPhone Duo's display settings dubbed ‘Shift Left Edge’. Upon activation, this feature introduces a black border on the left side of the outer screen, effectively mimicking a fake bezel and pushing content away from the folding edge. According to the software description, this setting is intended to "move content when you are using a case that partially covers the left edge of the outer display of your iPhone".
In Lellouche's demonstration, enabling this option roughly doubles the width of the black border on the left of the iPhone Duo's outer screen. However, it remains uncertain which types of cases would necessitate this setting being activated. Apple has provided two first-party case options for the iPhone Duo upon its launch - the iPhone Duo Case and the iPhone Duo Folio with Kickstand.
Without extensive hands-on experience, it is challenging to determine if these cases significantly encroach upon the left edge and obstruct screen content. It is plausible that Apple anticipates this setting to prove useful for more robust case designs offered by third-party accessory manufacturers.
