Apple has revealed more than 50 third-party apps optimized for the iPhone Duo, showing how popular apps work on the foldable phone’s larger screen.
The company has highlighted several major apps, including Netflix, Prime Video, Zoom, Slack and Lyft. The developers adapt them to the different layouts of the iPhone Duo, adding features that work when the device is folded, unfolded or bumped on a surface.
Netflix lets users browse short, vertical previews of movies and TV shows on the outer screen before opening the device to continue watching on the larger inner display. Apple also demonstrated how Netflix and Prime Video work when the phone is partially folded, allowing users to watch content without holding it.
The MLB app has already received its iPhone Duo update, showing live games, scores and statistics across the entire width of the inner screen. Zoom will show shared content and meeting partners at the same time, while Slack and Lyft will also take advantage of the additional screen space.
Microsoft is preparing similar upgrades for Word and Outlook, with both apps expected to receive what Apple describes as a “desktop-class experience” in the coming weeks. Word will display formatting tools alongside documents, while Outlook will allow users to view their inbox and an open email side by side, making multitasking more convenient on the fold-out display.
Other apps to be optimized include Instagram, Flighty, Fantastical, Things, Bear, Notewise, SmartGym, Paramount+, DoorDash, OpenTable and Yelp, alongside games like Sneaky Sasquatch and Retrocade.
Apple says that all existing iPhone apps will still run on Duo, although their appearance and behavior will depend on whether developers have adopted the iOS 26, iOS 27 or iOS 27.1 software development kits.
More than 50 apps are already receiving updates or preparation, giving the iPhone Duo a wide selection of foldable software for entertainment, communication and productivity.
