On the inner display
The app reaches the edges of the inner display. Text and controls stay a comfortable size instead of being blown up.
Netflix was one of four third-party apps Apple featured at the iPhone Duo announcement. Its short-form Clips feed works on the outer display; opening the device switches to a large-screen viewing experience on the inner display.
In Split View
iPhone Duo is the first iPhone that can show two apps side by side, and every app takes part — including Netflix. Open it on the inner display, then add a second app next to it. You can save the pair and come back to it later.
Duo-specific features
- Adaptive layoutRearranges into sidebars or multiple panes on the inner display instead of just stretching.
- Fold awareReacts to the fold — for example, splitting content above and below the hinge when half-open.
