The forthcoming iPhone Duo has more features than Apple has revealed, including a whole series of faces for its Stand By mode. While pre-orders don't start until October 16, and the Xcode betas still don't show developers everything, one has found many new options coming to iOS 27 for this device.

Developer pdfu reports that the Xcode 27.1 simulator is lacking Rushmore, an app for displaying the new Stand By faces. But despite that, they have managed to get certain of the new faces running. Code references describe five more faces: Home Camera (up to nine camera views), Home Module, Flow, Fade, and Snoopy.

The iPhone Duo will also feature a revised editor for customizing these Stand By faces, similar to the Apple Watch face editor. Users can swipe left and right to adjust style, numerals, light and dark mode, plus color. Some clock faces have room for two widgets. pdfu has found code references for five layouts: Stand By, Stacked, Top, Middle, and Bottom.
