Apple today released a new YouTube playlist aimed at helping developers prepare their apps for iPhone Duo, its first foldable iPhone.
The “Get Ready for iPhone Duo” playlist, posted on the Apple Developer YouTube channel, is described by Apple as a guide to help developers “prepare your apps for launch on iPhone Duo.” It contains six videos: “Designing for iPhone Duo,” “Getting Your App Ready for iPhone Duo,” “Raising the Bar with iPhone Duo,” “Strike a Pose with Responsive Layouts on iPhone Duo,” “Exploit Multiple Screens and Scenes on iPhone Duo,” and “Create a Stunning Camera Experience for iPhone Duo.”
The iPhone Duo has a number of special software features. Essential controls have been moved to the sides of the screen to be within thumb reach, the home screen dock is now oriented vertically, and the status bar has been redesigned to fit the corner of the screen. The software transitions between the outer and inner screens as the device opens, with the controls remaining in a consistent position as the content evolves.
The iPhone Duo starts at $1,999 for 256GB, with storage options up to 2TB. Pre-orders begin October 16 and availability begins October 23.
