Summary
Nine apps now showcase how Apple’s new iPhone Duo can turn its fold and hinge into gameplay, study tools, retro video recording and productivity features.
Several apps make the fold central to the experience: Toastie grills a sandwich when the phone is closed, RectoVerso reveals flashcard answers as the device opens, and Battlefleet Duo splits local multiplayer across both halves.
Pricing ranges from free tiers to one-time purchases such as $3 for Toastie, $5 for Battlefleet Duo and PianoFold, and $13 for RectoVerso, while apps like Portal and FirstSeed Planner use subscriptions.
The lineup extends Apple’s broader push to build software support for the foldable, after the company this week highlighted more than 50 optimized third-party apps and a new “Made for iPhone Duo” App Store badge.
