Apple is working on a split-screen app landscape adaptation feature for iOS 27 , according to a known leaker. In a new post on Weibo, the leaker known as "Fixed Focus Digital" said Apple is developing a "Parallel View" capability for iOS, aimed at solving the platform's longstanding weakness with large-screen and landscape layouts. Parallel View is a feature in Huawei's HarmonyOS that automatically adapts smartphone apps for wide displays at the system level, without requiring developers to redesign their apps. Fixed Focus Digital appears to be using the term as a reference point for the type of solution Apple is pursuing, rather than suggesting Apple is directly replicating Huawei's implementation. The leaker pointed to iPadOS as Apple's own existing example of the approach, noting that Apple already handles landscape adaptation at the system level on the iPad . iOS has never had an equivalent mechanism. The feature appears to be aimed squarely at the foldable iPhone, whose 7.8-inch inner display will expose a fundamental limitation of iOS: virtually every iPhone app is designed for a tall, narrow screen. Without a system-level solution, those apps would appear letterboxed on the larger display. Fixed Focus Digital acknowledged that iOS is "indeed excellent" while noting its large-screen adaptation has consistently fallen short. The claim corroborates earlier reporting from Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman , who reported in March that ‌iOS 27‌ would support two apps side-by-side on the foldable iPhone's inner display, with an iPad-like layout and left-side navigation bars in supported apps. Apple is expected to unveil ‌iOS 27‌ at WWDC 2026 later this month, ahead of a fall release alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models and the foldable iPhone.

A new leak backs up recent claims that the folding iPhone hinge will use Liquid Metal, which is technology Apple has been working on since at least 2010. Render of a possible iPhone Fold, showing the hinge In March 2025 , analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claimed that Apple would "use liquid metal materials for key components" of the iPhone Fold, such as the hinge. Now leaker Fixed Focus Digital on Chinese social media site Weibo, claims that this is confirmed. The leaker also says, in machine translation, that a prototype has been sent to "global operators" for testing. It presumably means a version with such a hinge is in manufacturing testing, although it's not clear whether it's the same one that has reportedly been causing problems .

Apple's hit sci-fi series " Silo " is returning for a third season starting Friday, July 3, and a final trailer was released today . "Silo" follows the lives of 10,000 people living in an underground bunker to escape the seemingly toxic wasteland outside. The people are unaware of why the silo was built, and those who seek the truth face deadly consequences. Rebecca Ferguson stars as Juliette Nichols, an engineer who attempts to unravel the mysteries surrounding the silo following a loved one's murder. The show is based on Hugh Howey's best-selling book series, and it is one of the most popular original series on the Apple TV streaming service . The third season will have 10 episodes, with one released every Friday through September 4. Apple says the third season "continues the saga of a dystopian society." "In the present, Juliette Nichols (Rebecca Ferguson) survives her forced 'cleaning' but returns with memory loss as the silo recovers from rebellion and faces a dangerous new threat," says Apple. "Meanwhile, in the 'Before Times,' journalist Helen Drew (Jessica Henwick) and Congressman Daniel Keene (Ashley Zukerman) uncover a conspiracy that pulls them into a chain of events with catastrophic, irreversible consequences." Apple already renewed "Silo" for a fourth and final season as well. "With the final two chapters of 'Silo,' we can't wait to give fans of the show an incredibly satisfying conclusion to the many mysteries and unanswered questions contained within the walls of these silos," said showrunner and executive producer Graham Yost, regarding the third and fourth seasons of the show.
