Apple Says More Than 100,000 Apps Optimized for iPhone Duo, Here

Apple today announced that more than 100,000 apps have been optimized for the iPhone Duo, released two weeks ago. We confirmed that this figure refers to apps built with the iOS 27.1 SDK or later , meaning these apps fill the full width of the iPhone Duo's inner and outer displays and have vertical controls in the status bar. A statement from Susan Prescott, Apple's Vice President of Worldwide Developer Relations: It's been wonderful to see how quickly developers have embraced iPhone Duo, and we're grateful for their creativity and innovation. Today there are well over 100,000 apps built for iPhone Duo already live on the App Store, and thousands of optimized apps are being added to the store each day. In the last month alone, thousands of developers have joined us for workshops in 19 cities around the world to experience iPhone Duo firsthand and bring updated apps to their users. The enthusiasm has been incredible, and we're excited to see the pace of updates continue to accelerate as more and more apps optimize for iPhone Duo. Apple said thousands of apps optimized for the iPhone Duo are being added to the App Store each day, with recent examples including Microsoft's Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint, and Word apps , along with the Etsy, Goodnotes, Halide Mark III, NBA, NHL, and Zoom apps. Other apps optimized for the device include Amazon Prime Video, Fantastical, Flighty, Instagram, MLB, Netflix, SmartGym, WhatsApp, YouTube, and more. There are too many to list. Apps optimized for the iPhone Duo have a Made for iPhone Duo badge in their App Store listings on the device, making them easy to identify. iOS 27.2 added Apple Pencil (USB-C) support to the iPhone Duo , enabling users to draw in apps like Procreate Pocket, take notes in Apple Notes, Fineliner, and TypeDraw, and mark up documents in apps like Preview on the device. On the other hand, with millions of apps available in the App Store, there are unsurprisingly many apps that are still not optimized for the iPhone Duo, with the following examples listed in alphabetical order: AMC Theaters, Amazon Fire TV, Apple Store, Best Buy, Bluesky, Delta, DoorDash, Duolingo, Fandango, FedEx, Goodreads, Google Docs, Google Home, Google Sheets, Google Slides, GrubHub, JetBlue, Libby, Microsoft Authenticator, Microsoft Teams, MTA, Nike, PayPal, PictureThis, Ring, Southwest, Spectrum TV, Starbucks, Steam, Uber Eats, UPS, USPS, Venmo, Verizon, Wells Fargo, Whole Foods, and YouTube Music. Apple said developers can easily optimize their apps for the iPhone Duo. Apps that use standard SwiftUI and UIKit components adapt automatically to each display, with controls moved to the status bar and multi-column support on the inner display. New APIs let developers optimize their apps for the device's various layouts and poses. Apple has hosted more than 50 in-person iPhone Duo app workshops in 19 cities worldwide, and there are online resources like the Apple Developer Forums . In the meantime, apps built with the iOS 27 SDK resize to fill most of the inner display on the iPhone Duo, but they avoid the status bar on the right edge. Apps built with the iOS 26 SDK or earlier run on the iPhone Duo, but appear in the center of the inner display, with lots of empty black space on the left and right sides of the apps. iPhone Duo app optimization has been a hotly debated topic on social media platforms, with some people pointing out apps that are not yet optimized and others saying the issue is overblown. It is clearly a mixed bag, with some apps optimized and some not. More apps are being updated by the day, though, so the situation is improving rapidly.

The MacRumors Show: iOS 27.3 Looks Like a Huge Update

Apple's first 27.3 betas bring expanded Siri AI actions, a redesigned Health app, and new Fitness+ features, alongside conversation summaries on the Apple Watch. This week's episode of The MacRumors Show takes a closer look at the updates. Subscribe to The MacRumors Show YouTube channel for more videos Siri AI gains additional actions across Apple's apps, including unsubscribing from mailing lists, organizing files, and managing Safari tabs. In Weather, Siri can add saved locations and toggle severe weather or next-hour precipitation notifications. The additions extend the assistant's usefulness for everyday tasks, although the full range of supported requests can still be difficult to discover. A new developer preview also enables more flexible third-party integrations. Developers can supply custom actions and skills that help Siri coordinate multiple steps, improving its handling of more complicated requests. App Store submissions for these integrations are scheduled to open in the spring. Safari adds vertical tabs and Adaptive Dark Mode , allowing websites without their own dark appearance to adopt one automatically. The iPhone Duo also gains horizontal Reachability and a revised keyboard, making its wider outer display easier to operate with one hand. Apple Fitness+ gains Gym Strength , which creates personalized four-week plans based on available equipment and workout preferences. Short videos from Fitness+ trainers demonstrate proper form, extending the service beyond workouts that require following an entire video session. The initial beta's equipment selection and scheduling options nevertheless leave room for improvement, particularly for users whose routines vary from week to week. The redesigned Health app returns with Insights and Longevity sections, turning collected measurements into more accessible guidance and longer-term health assessments. iPhone Duo-style StandBy mode displays bring more customizable clocks, Calendar views, and Weather information to additional iPhones. Apple Music also gains enhanced transitions, concert recommendations, and Selfie Sing karaoke videos. On the Apple Watch, Live Rewind and Siri Recap introduce new ways to recover and summarize spoken information. Live Rewind provides a transcription of the preceding 15 seconds, while Siri Recap creates detailed conversation summaries that can be useful for meeting notes. Time- and location-based scheduling provides more control over when Siri Recap operates.

Global Tablet Sales Crash, Even For Apple; Why Buyers Are Not Upgrading

The global tablet market is experiencing a significant downturn, registering a steep 23% decline driven by ongoing industry pressures. According to data from Omdia , total global shipments dropped from 41.8 million units down to 32.2 million units , impacting even major industry leaders like Apple . Despite this sharp contraction, Apple retains its position as the market leader with a 36% market share , though its iPad shipments fell by 27.5% compared to the same period last year. Meanwhile, Samsung secures the second position as the isolated runner-up, capturing 16.9% of the market with 5.42 million units shipped, reflecting a 21.7% decrease in its sales volume. Rounding out the top tier, Lenovo holds 12.7% of the market , standing out as the only major manufacturer to achieve positive growth with an 11.9% increase during the analyzed period. Conversely, other prominent brands faced severe drops; Xiaomi experienced a 10.6% decline , while Huawei suffered the most dramatic contraction in the ranking, plummeting by 43% . Market analysts at Omdia point out that severe supply chain restrictions are heavily constraining the ability of manufacturers to introduce meaningful hardware upgrades in new tablet generations. Omdia research manager Himani Mukka notes that these limitations leave minimal differentiation between new models and their predecessors, prompting consumers to delay device upgrades until more substantial innovations emerge. Industry experts warn that these persistent supply constraints are projected to extend throughout 2027 , potentially dragging adjacent device categories, such as smartphones , into a parallel cycle of market stagnation as well.

Super Mario Odyssey Runs Natively On Apple TV 4K Thanks To AI

Nintendos popular titles, including Super Mario Odyssey and Animal Crossing: New Horizons , can now run natively on the Apple TV 4K through a new AI-assisted software port. Developed by a Reddit user known as FloatingFalafel , the open-source project is called TVPort . TVPort functions as a fork of the nxnative toolkit , utilizing Claude Opus 5.5 to recompile Nintendo Switch games on a Mac so they can operate on Apples streaming box. According to the creator, Super Mario Odyssey achieves a smooth 60 frames per second (fps) , while Animal Crossing: New Horizons runs at 30 fps . Although additional titles have not yet been tested, the open-source software is publicly available for users to experiment with other games. [Release] TVPort Port switch games to run natively on AppleTV (4k 3rd gen) by u/FloatingFalafel in decomps Running these titles requires users to supply their own game files extracted from physical cartridges using a modified Nintendo Switch , as game files are not bundled with the software. Furthermore, hardware limitations may restrict performance. More demanding titles, such as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom , could face thermal throttling issues on the third-generation Apple TV 4K . However, the upcoming fourth-generation Apple TV 4K scheduled to launch commercially on November 13 may handle heavier workloads that current hardware cannot support. The project also faces potential legal scrutiny given Nintendos history with unofficial software. Nintendo actively protects its intellectual property, exemplified by its 2024 lawsuit against the Yuzu emulator team , which concluded with a $2.4 million settlement and the discontinuation of the project. Because of these enforcement measures, the longevity of TVPort remains uncertain. Super Mario Odyssey Runs Natively On Apple TV 4K Thanks To AI , original content from Ubergizmo .

Mirwaiz says he remains under house arrest, barred from delivering Friday sermon

Srinagar, Nov 6: Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir Dr Moulvi Mohammad Umar Farooq on Friday said he continued to remain under house arrest for nearly a week, alleging that police deployment and barricades outside his Nigeen residence had prevented him from visiting the historic Jama Masjid in Srinagar to deliver the Friday sermon. In a post on X, Mirwaiz expressed disappointment over the continued restrictions, saying he would not be able to address the faithful at the mosque. My house detention continues unabated for the past week with police deployment and barricades in place. Unfortunate that I will not be able to deliver the Friday sermon at Jama Masjid Srinagar to the faithful today. Arbitrary and authoritarian measures to curtail freedom of movement and speech only betray the official narrative of normalcy in Kashmir, he said. He said the restrictions had prevented him from attending scheduled religious gatherings and leading the Friday congregation at Jamia Masjid.

Apple Rumored to Drop the iPhone

Apple plans to merge the iPhone's Action button with the Camera Control starting next year, according to the leaker known as Instant Digital . In a new post on Weibo, the leaker claimed that a single press of the combined button would open the camera, while a long press would trigger the function assigned to the Action button. They explicitly clarified that the dedicated Action button would disappear, while the Camera Control button would remain. The proposed arrangement seems plausible given how the two features already work. The Action button predates the Camera Control and requires a long press to activate its assigned function, while a single press of the Camera Control opens the camera. Combining them in the way described would therefore preserve both familiar interactions, with the customizable action simply moving to a different location on the device. A long press of Camera Control currently opens Visual Intelligence , but that feature has since been integrated directly into the Camera app as Siri mode in iOS 27 . That integration could give Apple room to reassign the gesture while keeping Visual Intelligence accessible through the Camera app. It is notable that the iPhone Duo also lacks an Action button , despite retaining Camera Control. Its omission provides a precedent for an iPhone without the separate control and could hint at a broader change in the future. The Camera Control received a mixed reception when it debuted on the iPhone 16 , with some reviewers criticizing its usefulness, complexity, and ergonomics, making further refinement seem plausible. Combining it with the Action button could give the control a clearer sense of purpose. Removing a separate button could also simplify manufacturing and reduce the potential for users to confuse the Action button with the adjacent volume buttons. Apple was previously rumored to be working on a simplified Camera Control design for the iPhone 18 lineup, but that change did not materialize. Instant Digital claimed Apple would remove the capacitive sensing layer and rely on pressure sensing to reduce costs while retaining its functions. The iPhone 16's Camera Control button. The latest rumor raises the possibility that a redesign is still in development, potentially as part of a broader rethink that incorporates the Action button's functionality, although it remains unclear whether the two claims describe related plans. Apple introduced the Action button on the iPhone 15 Pro in 2023 as a replacement for the longstanding Ring/Silent switch. It can be assigned to functions such as Silent mode, Focus, the flashlight, Shortcuts, and more. The rumored combined control would retain a dedicated way to trigger those actions while reducing the number of physical buttons. Instant Digital said that the change will take place starting with new iPhone models released in the second half of 2027. The claimed timing would presumably coincide with the launch of Apple's 20th-anniversary iPhone models in the fall of next year. Apple's naming plans remain unclear, so the devices could be called the iPhone 19 Pro, iPhone 20 Pro , or something else.

Telangana Police to launch Fit Cop to monitor health of 90,000 personnel

Digital Desk | Hyderabad, Nov 6 (IANS) The Telangana Police Department is set to roll out Fit Cop, an app-based comprehensive health management initiative aimed at monitoring and improving the health and well-being of more than 90,000 police personnel across the State. Director General of Police C.V. Anand said on Friday that police personnel, owing to demanding duties and work-related stress, often find little time to focus on their health. Emphasising that physically and mentally healthy personnel were essential for delivering better public service, he said the initiative was being developed with the support of the Helping Hand Foundation and other organisations. The proposed TG FitCop, designed as a Police Health Management Profile System, will enable personnel to register their individual health details through a dedicated mobile application. The department is working on an action plan to implement the programme within the next 30 to 45 days. According to a release from the DGPs office, the application will collect information on major health parameters, including diabetes, hypertension, Body Mass Index (BMI), existing health conditions, lifestyle habits, physical activity, smoking and alcohol consumption. Personnel across the State will be able to access the system using their mobile phone number. Based on the information submitted, personnel will be categorised into low-, moderate- and high-risk groups. The health risk assessment will help identify individuals who require medical attention and timely intervention. Explaining the proposed support mechanism, Helping Hand Foundation founder Salman said personnel would be contacted through a dedicated call centre based on their health risk levels. Those requiring further attention would be facilitated with medical investigations, hospital-based treatment, health guidance and counselling. The initiative is expected to help identify potential health complications, particularly kidney-related ailments, diabetes and hypertension, at an early stage and facilitate timely medical intervention. The primary objective of Fit Cop is to promote health awareness among police personnel and encourage preventive healthcare before medical conditions become serious. The programme will be extended to all units and wings of the Telangana Police. DGP Anand expressed the hope that Fit Cop would emerge as an important institutional mechanism for safeguarding the health of police personnel and ensuring their overall well-being. Senior police officers, representatives of the Helping Hand Foundation and other participating organisations attended the meeting.

Chhattisgarh: Security forces recover Maoist explosives cache in Bijapur Forest

Digital Desk | Raipur/Bijapur, Nov 6 (IANS) A joint team of security forces has recovered a significant cache of explosives and electronic equipment hidden underground by Maoists in a dense forest area of Bijapur district in Chhattisgarh. The recovery was made during a search operation conducted on Thursday near Pujarikanker village under the Usur police station limits. Acting on specific intelligence provided by the intelligence wing of a CoBRA Battalion, a combined team comprising personnel from the District Force and the CoBRA Battalion launched the operation in the hilly and forested terrain southeast of Pujarikanker, Rahul Bansal, additional superintendent of police, Bijapur, said. After a careful and safety-conscious search, the forces unearthed a suspicious underground cache carefully concealed by the insurgents. The recovered explosive materials included 455 electric detonators and 500 non-electric detonators. In addition, a range of electronic and supporting items were seized, he said, adding that these included two multimeters, two radio set battery charger cradles, two copper prototyping boards (PCBs), one multi-USB port card reader, one mobile charger, one laptop adapter, one 12-volt FM/AM retractable power antenna, one telescopic antenna, one Type-B data cable, approximately eight metres of electric wire, one relay control circuit board, and one snap hook. Naxal-related literature was also found at the site. The official stated that the cache appeared to have been stored for use in future attacks or for manufacturing improvised explosive devices. The presence of sophisticated electronic components, including antennas, circuit boards and charging equipment, indicates that the Maoists were preparing advanced communication and triggering systems. All the recovered explosives, electronic devices and literature have been formally seized by the Usur police station. Further investigation and legal proceedings have been initiated under relevant sections of the law, the official said. Security forces remain on high alert in the region and continue intensive anti-Naxal operations based on real-time intelligence inputs. Officials emphasised that sustained pressure through such intelligence-driven operations is gradually weakening the insurgents capacity to carry out violent activities in the area.
