Here Are the iPhone Duo Apps Ready by Friday

Netflix, Prime Video, Microsoft Word, Slack and dozens of other apps are getting updated layouts built for the iPhone Duo’s foldable display, with the first batch arriving when the device launches in Canada this Friday, October 23.

Apple announced the lineup on Thursday, saying the iPhone Duo’s inner display is 50 per cent larger than the iPhone 18 Pro Max. Both screens share the same aspect ratio, so apps scale up when you open the phone. The iPhone Duo also brings Split View to iPhone for the first time, letting you run two apps side by side.

New editorial collections for iPhone Duo apps and games go live on the App Store on Friday, so they will be waiting if you manage to get one at launch, and optimized apps will carry a “Made for iPhone Duo” badge on their product pages.

Here is every app and game Apple highlighted. Apple only gave timing for a handful of them, and those dates are noted below.

Streaming and sports

• Netflix lets you scroll through Clips on the outer display, then open the phone to keep watching on the inner screen. Tom Richards, Netflix’s senior director of engineering, said the experience “adapts as iPhone Duo opens, closes, or turns.”
• Prime Video plays content on the top half of the screen when the phone is partially folded, with X-Ray cast and bonus details on the bottom half.
• Paramount+ adds richer playback controls and expanded browsing for shows and live channels.
• Apple TV also uses the larger canvas for movies and series.
• MLB plays the live game on the upright half when the phone is propped partially folded on a table, while real-time stats fill the bottom. Kenny Gersh, MLB’s executive vice president of media, business development and product, said fans “never have to choose between the broadcast and the box score.”
• PGA Tour brings live golf and highlights alongside real-time scores and leaderboards.

Blue Jays fans may want to look away from Apple’s sample MLB screenshot, which shows the final score of Game 7 of the 2025 World Series.

Games

The A20 Pro chip and a custom vapour chamber give the iPhone Duo up to 35 per cent better sustained performance than the iPhone 17 Pro, according to Apple, which should help with longer gaming sessions.

• Asphalt Legends fills the inner display with more than 350 cars, dynamic lighting and races against up to seven online opponents.
• Zenless Zone Zero adapts its controls to every way you hold the phone, with its iPhone Duo update arriving next month.
• UnGodly, a dark fantasy RPG from Azra Games, adjusts its controls and view for each display, including a taller view when closed. It launches on the App Store in November.
• Sneaky Sasquatch on Apple Arcade offers a bigger view when open and pick-up-and-play sessions when closed.
• Retrocade, also on Apple Arcade, takes advantage of the folding display the same way.
