Several large Chinese technology firms have sent development teams to Apple's headquarters in the United States. The objective is to ensure application compatibility with the recently launched iPhone Duo folding devices.

According to reports, the timeframe for app developers has been tight, with only six weeks between Apple's announcement event and the new device's market release. Some companies have already entered a closed development phase for their applications.

The iPhone Duo, starting at 15,999 yuan, introduces new interface features. Controls on the lock screen, the dock on the home screen, and navigation bars within apps are now displayed on one side of the screen to provide more vertical space for content.

The device's Dynamic Island has also received a redesigned appearance, adapting to the edge of the folded display and showing real-time activities and notifications. Furthermore, the iPhone Duo marks the first time split-screen functionality is available on an iPhone, enabling simultaneous use of two apps side-by-side and quick app switching.
