Apple's latest iPhone Duo features a hidden display setting called "Shift Left Edge" that adds a narrow black border on the left side of the front screen. The setting was discovered by blogger Nicolas Lellouche during a hands-on experience with the device shortly after Apple's iPhone event last week. The purpose of this feature is to accommodate cases that slightly cover the left edge of the iPhone Duo's display, ensuring that the iOS back swipe gesture continues to function as intended.
Apple has released two official cases for the new foldable device: the iPhone Duo Case and a Folio with Kickstand. However, it remains uncertain if either of these cases covers the left edge of the display. It is more probable that Apple designed these cases to accommodate bulky protective third-party cases that tend to cover the left edge.
The confirmation of how well these cases perform will become clear once the initial reviews of the iPhone Duo are published. Pre-orders for the iPhone Duo are set to begin on October 16, with availability starting on October 23.
