Did anyone notice that it’s November?
That can only mean that Indie App Sales is back for the Black Friday '26 Edition, November 27–30! 🎉
Indie devs: get your discounts ready and submit or update your apps
#IndieAppSales#BlackFriday
@brynbodayle This is on the finsl 27.2 release. Seems to be triggered when opening first in closed mode then opening, but not every launch (not my favorite kind of bug, either!)
@mbrkhrdt Bad actors were abusing that before. Register for Touch ID in the app then immediately they’d trigger an in-app purchase which would immediately get charged from having their finger on it.
Wider is now (finally) available! Full screen browsing on your Duo in Safari, no new browser needed 🙂
Free for the first 10.000 downloads!

Crazy to see how many apps are still compiled on 26 and look awful on the Duo.
Happy iPhone Duo Day! 📱🎉
My first impressions of the iPhone Duo are VERY positive. 🤯
I’ve spent the last 24+ hours putting this thing through EVERYTHING.
📱 The hardware and form factor are incredible
🔋 Battery life is WAY better than expected
🎬 That 7.6” inner display is amazing for content
💳 Apple Pay works great
⌨️ Typing takes some getting used to
👆 Touch ID is still a downgrade from Face ID
📲 Some apps need optimization, but that’ll come
💻 The different hinge positions unlock entirely new use cases
But the BIGGEST surprise? Multitasking.
I genuinely didn’t expect it to feel this natural. It’s not just an iPad with Split View. It’s literally TWO iPhones side by side, each doing its own thing, but working together seamlessly.
FaceTime while scrolling X. Research while taking notes. Watching videos while responding to messages.
It doesn’t feel like I’m forcing myself to multitask just because I can. It feels like this is how I SHOULD be using my phone.
That’s the magic of the iPhone Duo. It’s not just about having a bigger screen. It’s about fundamentally changing what you can do with your phone.
And after just one day, I’m already hooked.
Now that the iPhone Duo is officially here, what’s the ONE thing you want to know about it before deciding if it’s worth $2,000? 👀👇
About 30 people now at upper west side Apple store, 5:20am. Who knows if I’ll get one and what color/size but seems a reasonable bet given the queue? Will report back in about 3 hours.
Interestingly, about half of the people in line are using Android devices.
@iangcarroll Ouch, the black bars of death are truly horrible on the squished outer display.
Thx for the screenshot, good to hear! Enjoy HK and the Duo :)
