Among the offerings are two iPhone Duo Group Labs scheduled for September 16 and 17, as well as Q&As on topics such as Photos & Camera, SwiftUI, and UIKit, with two sessions available at different times on September 23. Additionally, Apple will host iPhone Duo Workshops globally, providing hands-on sessions for developers to fine-tune their apps and explore resizability across various screen sizes. These workshops commence later in the month. The \"Get ready for iPhone Duo\" page on Apple's developer website features additional tools and documentation, including the Xcode 27.1 beta, guides on designing for the iPhone Duo, and instructions on preparing apps for the new device.
