Apple's iPhone Duo, the foldable smartphone, can now run over 100,000 apps effectively, just two weeks after its launch. Company officials report that developers are rapidly updating their software to support the device's unique display. Susan Prescott, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations, notes that thousands more optimized apps continue to be added daily to the App Store.
Prominent apps that now support the foldable smartphone include Microsoft Office suite apps, Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube, Netflix, Zoom, Amazon Prime Video, and numerous others. Apple identifies these compatible apps with a 'Made for iPhone Duo' badge in the App Store. To facilitate app optimization, Apple has conducted over 50 in-person workshops across 19 cities, attracting more than 2,000 developers.
The optimized apps are built using SwiftUI and UIKit, which automatically adapt to the iPhone Duo's displays. Apple has also introduced new APIs enabling developers to create custom layouts and adjust apps according to the foldable's hinge positions. While the number of optimized apps is increasing, many existing apps still need optimization.
These older apps can still run on the iPhone Duo but may not utilize the full display area effectively. Google Maps is one of the latest apps to receive an update for full compatibility with the foldable device. Apple anticipates developers will continue to release optimized app versions at a faster rate.
