Apple Reports Over 100,000 Optimized Apps Available for iPhone Duo
Two weeks after the official launch of the iPhone Duo, Apple announced that more than 100,000 apps on the App Store are now specifically built or optimized for the new foldable device. Susan Prescott, Apple's VP of Worldwide Developer Relations, noted a rapid pace of developer adoption and ongoing updates to the ecosystem. Despite this milestone, early user experiences suggest some software friction remains. Some applications, including Instagram, have reportedly faced layout issues on the new form factor. Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, characterized the device as a "tricky form factor," highlighting the technical challenges developers face when transitioning to foldable hardware.
