iPhone Duo is here! Excited to have worked on the design of our open/close transition. It’s designed to make the two displays feel like one seamless experience by perceptually bending the focal plane, not the content, so that it feels like opening a window onto a singular view.

Duo FaceTime!
Mark my words: the iPhone Duo is going to completely change how people use their iPhones moving forward. This new billboard feels like the beginning of Apple’s next era. Once people experience a foldable iPhone, there’s no going back. 📱🔥

Super happy to finally be able to talk about what I've been working on! Duo FaceTime lets your friends and family easily join the conversation without needing to crowd around a single screen, something only made possible by the unique features of iPhone Duo.
This is one of my favorite features of the iPhone Duo. When you’re on FaceTime, you can utilize both screens and cameras. If you’re pointing the camera at someone in front of you, the person on the other side of the phone can talk to whoever you’re on the call with too. You don’t need to flip the phone like we do now. Very impressive software/hardware integration.

I'm stoked to be able to use this with my wife when talking to our own families on FaceTime. The team seriously cooked with the iPhone Duo. From the design to the engineering, it's incredible to use. It's probably my favorite device Apple has ever made.

On Tuesday we shipped spatial Personas to the world and it’s been amazing seeing people discover new ways to connect via Apple Vision Pro.

To support starting SharePlay using this gesture, just share your GroupActivity using one of the above methods. New in iOS 17, we support Transferable + GroupActivity to allow you to share your activities via ShareLink in SwiftUI!
