iPhone Duo leak reveals a bunch of StandBy details Apple didn't tell us about — including what sounds like a smart home display
A code dive may have just revealed the iPhone Duo StandBy features Apple hasn't told us about yet.
Apple's unannounced StandBy Mode for the upcoming iPhone Duo has been revealed through a leak by pdfu. This new mode goes beyond the basic clock and weather display found on traditional iPhones and offers a range of additional features. One of the new StandBy faces is called Home Camera, which displays one to nine live camera feeds.
Another face, Home Modular, is speculated to focus on home accessories, while Flow is assumed to be an abstract animated design. The Face face is an unknown element, and Snoopy appears to be an Apple tie-in with Peanuts. These new faces suggest Apple is aiming to expand StandBy Mode into a smart home hub rather than simply a glorified clock and weather display.
The leak also includes a new face editor, similar to the Apple Watch face editor, which allows users to swipe between settings and scroll through available options. This editor includes a calendar, analog and digital clock faces with various looks, fonts, and color options. The code also reveals five possible layouts for the Duo's StandBy mode: StandBy, Stacked, Top, Middle, and Bottom.
The last four layouts are speculated to be intended for the foldable screen, while StandBy aligns with the existing StandBy mode on iPhones. This leak suggests that iPadOS may also receive its own StandBy mode, given the Duo's unique features.
