On the inner display
iPhone Duo shows each app in one of three ways depending on which SDK it was built with: letterboxed with black bars (iOS 26 or earlier), expanded with some empty space (iOS 27), or full screen (iOS 27.1 and later). We don't yet know which applies here.
Things 3 has no iPad version today, so its layout has only ever been designed for phone-sized screens. That doesn't mean it won't adapt — only that its developer is starting from a phone layout rather than an iPad one.
In Split View
iPhone Duo is the first iPhone that can show two apps side by side, and every app takes part — including Things 3. 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.

Questions
Does Things 3 work on iPhone Duo?
Not confirmed yet. Things 3 runs normally on iPhone Duo's outer display, but there's no reliable report yet of how it looks on the inner display.
Does Things 3 work on the outer display?
Yes. iPhone Duo's 5.4-inch outer display behaves like a regular iPhone screen, so every iPhone app works there as usual.
Can I use Things 3 in Split View on iPhone Duo?
Yes. On iPhone Duo every app can be placed side by side with another app on the inner display — developers don't need to opt in. How comfortable it feels at half width depends on the app's layout.
Will Things 3 have black bars on iPhone Duo?
It depends on the version of Apple's SDK the current build of Things 3 uses: iOS 26 or earlier means black bars, iOS 27 means mostly filled, iOS 27.1 means full screen. We'll update this page as soon as there's evidence.
