Apple's iPhone Duo now has over 100,000 optimised apps

## Rapid App Development for iPhone Duo

Apple's new foldable iPhone Duo has quickly amassed over 100,000 apps optimized for its dual-screen design, just two weeks after its release. This rapid development is driven by developers updating their software to enhance compatibility with the device's unique features.

## Popular Apps Gain Support

Several well-known applications like Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Zoom have been updated to work seamlessly on the iPhone Duo. Other popular apps such as Netflix, YouTube, Instagram, and WhatsApp are also optimized, ensuring users can fully utilize the phone's larger display.

## "Made for iPhone Duo" Badge

To help users identify apps that are optimized for the iPhone Duo, Apple has introduced a "Made for iPhone Duo" badge in the App Store. This badge indicates that an app is designed to make full use of both the inner and outer screens, avoiding unused space.

## Ongoing Challenges

Despite the progress, some major apps like Google Docs, Google Sheets, Microsoft Teams, PayPal, and Uber Eats are still awaiting updates to fully support the Duo's features. Older apps can still run on the device, but may not take full advantage of the larger screen.

## Developer Engagement

Apple has been proactive in engaging developers, with over 2,000 attending workshops across 19 cities to prepare their apps for the foldable device. The iPhone Duo, which launched on October 23, is priced starting at $1,999 in the US.
