GoKawiilApple says over 100,000 apps now optimized for iPhone Duo
Apple told 9to5Mac that more than 100,000 App Store apps have been built or optimized for the iPhone Duo, two weeks after its launch, with thousands more being added daily. The company's VP of Worldwide Developer Relations, Susan Prescott, said over 2,000 developers attended more than 50 workshops across 19 cities to help update their apps for the foldable device.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The rapid app optimization numbers, as reported by Apple, suggest developers are treating the Duo's dual-screen format as a priority rather than an afterthought, which could shape how useful the device feels to early buyers. Apple's promotion of a 'Made for iPhone Duo' badge and curated app lists may also be an effort to steer developer and consumer attention toward optimized software, though the company has not disclosed how many of its total App Store apps this 100,000 figure represents.
