GoKawiilApple: Over 100,000 Apps Now Optimized for iPhone Duo's Foldable Screen
Apple says more than 100,000 apps on the App Store have been built or adjusted for the iPhone Duo's 4:3 inner display, according to VP Susan Prescott. She noted thousands of new optimized apps are added daily, and that developers attended workshops in 19 cities over the past month to prepare updates. Examples cited include Microsoft Word, Outlook, Zoom, and sports apps like NBA and NHL that now use the larger screen format.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The shift suggests Apple is working to close a common gap for new foldable hardware, where apps initially fail to use extra screen space effectively, as some early Duo users had noticed. Prescott's comments indicate developer engagement is being treated as a priority, which could shape how quickly third-party software catches up to the device's unique form factor. The pace of optimization may influence how the iPhone Duo is perceived against established foldable competitors in the Android ecosystem.
