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.

Apple named it in its iPhone Duo launch roundup on October 22: it opens into an immersive game when unfolded, with quick play when closed.

In Split View

iPhone Duo is the first iPhone that can show two apps side by side, and every app takes part — including Retrocade. 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.
