Apple made fun of Android apps on foldables, but iPhone Duo has the same problem [Gallery]

What’s new: Apple recently unveiled the iPhone Duo, a foldable smartphone, during which they criticized Android foldables for their app compatibility issues, specifically the problem of letterboxing. However, it was revealed that iOS 27.1 will also face similar challenges, as apps not optimized for the new display will be displayed with black bars on the sides, mirroring the issues seen in Android devices.

Who’s affected

iOS developers and users of the iPhone Duo may experience limitations with apps that have not been updated to support the new foldable display format, resulting in a compromised viewing experience.

What to do

  • Developers should update their apps to ensure compatibility with iOS 27.1 and the iPhone Duo’s foldable display to avoid letterboxing issues.
  • Users should check for app updates regularly to enhance their experience on the iPhone Duo.
