Apple plans to label apps as "Made for iPhone Duo" in the App Store to showcase which applications are optimized for the new foldable device's dual-screen capability. The new badge will appear on apps and games that utilize the Duo's extra screen real estate, allowing for enhanced functionality and improved user experience. While Apple hasn't revealed the exact appearance of the badge, it has shared examples of how various apps are leveraging the Duo's unique display.
Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Microsoft Word, Outlook, and Zoom are among the apps that will make use of the Duo's dual-screen layout, offering features such as full-screen video playback, a desktop-class workspace, and optimized video conferencing. However, not all apps have been entirely successful in adapting to the new form factor, with some displaying bugs, as found during testing by The Verge's Nilay Patel.
Apple will launch editorial collections for the iPhone Duo on Friday, with additional app updates planned throughout the year. The dual-screen iPhone will launch at a starting price of $1,999 and will be available for purchase on a limited, walk-in basis.
