  "summary": "The iPhone Duo, set to be released on October 23, has several unannounced features in its StandBy mode. According to developer pdfu, code reveals five new StandBy views: a single camera feed, a grid of camera feeds, custom smart home controls, \"Flow\" which may portray responsive art, and \"Fade\" and \"Snoopy\" which resemble Apple's tvOS screensaver. These join previously seen StandBy views like Analog, Digital, and Weather.\n\nThe iPhone Duo's StandBy mode can be used in various configurations, including folded or unfolded, landscape or portrait, and \"seated\" or \"standing\" setups. The \"standing\" setup enables a range of new StandBy features and allows the use of StandBy mode even when the device is not charging. AppleInsider reports that the Xcode 27.1 simulator lacks an app called Rushmore, which is for displaying the new StandBy faces, but pdfu has managed to get some of the new faces running.\n\nThe iPhone Duo starts at $1,999, a significant premium over the $1,299 iPhone 18 Pro Max. Tom's Guide notes that choosing the iPhone Duo over the iPhone 18 Pro Max means accepting some compromises, including the lack of telephoto zoom and Face ID, and potential issues with MagSafe compatibility.",
