Apple recently updated its TestFlight beta testing service to support landscape orientation and resizable iPhone Mirroring windows in macOS 27 Golden Gate. This update comes in the lead-up to the upcoming iPhone Duo, which is expected to release for presale on October 16 and officially on October 23. Priced starting at $1,999 in the US, the iPhone Duo boasts a 5.4-inch outer display and a larger 7.6-inch foldable inner display.

Stability improvements and bug fixes are also part of the latest TestFlight update.
