Apple Will Label Apps 'Made for iPhone Duo' in App Store

In its press release highlighting apps that have been optimized for the iPhone Duo , Apple said the App Store will label apps that are "Made for iPhone Duo." In order for an app to be optimized for the iPhone Duo, the developer needs to build it with the iOS 27.1 SDK or later . Apps optimized for the iPhone Duo fill the entire inner display, and the app's toolbar appears vertically below the status bar. Apps built with the iOS 27 SDK fill most of the inner display on the iPhone Duo, but they still avoid the status bar on the right edge. Apps built with the iOS 26 SDK or earlier run on the iPhone Duo, but the app will appear in the center of the inner display with lots of empty space on each side. Many more apps are being optimized for the iPhone Duo each and every day, so keep a close eye on the App Store's updates menu. iPhone Duo launches this Friday.

Apps will be iPhone Duo's Achilles heel for now, no matter what Apple claims

Apple has announced a slew of developers who have updated their apps to fit the iPhone Duo , but despite some surprises, there are still so many more who haven't had time. Apple is championing apps that have been updated for the iPhone Duo but there are so many more that have yet to be. Greg Joswiak has said he's proud of how well Apple managed to keep the iPhone Duo secret, and that did lead to there being so many surprises when it was announced. But it also meant that for the giant majority of developers, there has not been time to update their apps for the new device. This is why amongst generally glowing reviews, two criticisms keep coming up. One is about the iPhone Duo's weight, which nothing can be done about, and the other concerns apps, which can be fixed.
