Zoom, 4 Microsoft Apps Gain iPhone Duo Support as Teams Still Lags

3 articles · Updated · MacRumors · Nov 2

Summary

  • Zoom and four Microsoft apps—Word, PowerPoint, Excel and OneNote—were updated for iPhone Duo, expanding the list of apps tailored to Apple’s foldable-style device.
  • On the large inner display, Zoom now shows shared content and other participants at the same time, while optimized apps fill both the outer and inner screens instead of sitting centered with unused space.
  • Apps built with the iOS 27.1 SDK or later are fully optimized, with vertical toolbars and tab bars below the status bar; apps built with the iOS 26 SDK or earlier still run in a letterboxed layout.
  • Outlook had already been optimized at launch, but Microsoft Teams still has not been updated; the App Store marks compatible software with a “Made for iPhone Duo” label.

Insights

Why is Microsoft Teams still missing from the iPhone Duo's dual-screen revolution while Zoom takes the lead?
Does the iPhone Duo's split-screen layout truly enhance multitasking, or does the physical separation disrupt cognitive flow?
Will Apple's aggressive push with the iOS 27.1 SDK force developers to adapt, or will older apps be abandoned?
