Summary
Apple said developer support for iPhone Duo is improving quickly ahead of Friday’s launch, pushing back on early reviews that flagged weak third-party app optimization.
A 50% larger inner display than the iPhone 18 Pro Max is driving those updates, with Apple saying developers are redesigning apps for streaming, gaming, multitasking and partially folded use.
Netflix, Prime Video, Paramount+, MLB and PGA Tour are already using the larger canvas, while Microsoft Word and Outlook are due desktop-class updates in the next few weeks.
Zoom, Slack and Salesforce are also preparing Duo-specific versions as Apple plans to feature standout apps and games on the App Store when the foldable goes on sale.
