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.
In Split View
iPhone Duo is the first iPhone that can show two apps side by side, and every app takes part — including Netflix Game Controller. 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
None confirmed yet. Duo-specific features include side toolbars, layouts that react to the fold, and content on the outer display while the app is open inside.
