The iPhone Duo has been in customers' hands for a week, and developers have produced impressive apps and games that make the most of Apple's first foldable display. Developers have been hard at work updating existing apps and building new ones ever since Apple announced the iPhone Duo on September 9, 2026. This being a brand-new device, they had plenty of work to do just to make old apps look their best both on the internal 7.6-inch display and the outer 5.4-inch screen.
Thankfully, this isn't the App Store's first rodeo. The arrival of the iPad in 2010 meant building whole new versions of existing apps. The Apple Watch changed things again in 2015. In 2026, the iPhone Duo provides new ways for apps to display information beyond the extra display. Holding and folding the iPhone Duo in different ways and positions opens the door to new ways to use apps, too.
Here, we've built a list of the 10 apps and games that really show off what the iPhone Duo can do. Whether you've been using your iPhone Duo for a week, or you're still waiting for yours to arrive, this is the list that you've been waiting for. Netflix reacts to the way you use your iPhone Duo, dynamically adapting to which display you're using and in which orientation. Whether you watch in full-screen mode, using the book or tent poses, or a tabletop view, Netflix reacts accordingly.
Flighty is the perfect flight tracking app for the iPhone Duo. When opened, the iPhone Duo's display offers a full-sized map alongside full flight data, side-by-side. In tent mode, Flighty uses the landscape outer display to provide flight details hands-free.
