Apple has outlined a broad set of apps optimized for the iPhone Duo, its foldable handset with a main display said to be 50% larger than the iPhone 18 Pro Max. Compatible titles will be marked with a “Made for iPhone Duo” badge on their App Store pages.
The iPhone Duo is designed to move apps instantly between its two displays and support side-by-side multitasking. Apple’s optimized-app list focuses on layouts that use the larger inner screen or a partially folded position, including split views, expanded editing controls and adaptive video interfaces.
