Apple examines Safari outer screen layout fixes for foldable iPhone Duo

Apple is looking into methods to help websites adjust to the outer screen of the foldable iPhone Duo, 9to5Mac reported. On a WebKit blog entry detailing Safari 27.1, Apple employee Jen Simmons confirmed that the company is exploring solutions for the narrow screen layout. [1]

The issue stems from Safari taking up excessive space on the smaller outer display, 9to5Mac reported. Right-aligned controls leave an unusually limited area for website content to display properly. The company released iOS 27.1 exclusively for the device, requiring buyers to install a newer software build when setting up the smartphone, according to MacRumors. [1][3]

The foldable device has recorded stronger pre-order demand than expected in several major markets, MacRumors reported, citing DigiTimes. MacRumors also noted that physical retail queues returned to Apple Stores globally, while online store pickup options reopened with limited availability in countries including Australia, China, Japan, and South Korea.

Existing stylus models, including the Apple Pencil 1, Apple Pencil 2, and Apple Pencil Pro, are incompatible with the iPhone Duo, according to tests conducted by MacRumors. Users will require a compatible model to use a stylus on the device. [2]
