KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 12 — It hasn’t been a month since the iPhone Duo’s launch on October 23, and what was once a weakness (lack of app support) is swiftly being remedied.

For instance: In Malaysia, popular local coffee chain Zus has already added iPhone Duo support to its app, cleverly incorporating the front display and optimising the app’s layout on the inner foldout screen.

DuoBook allows easy pairing of the iPhone Duo to a nearby Mac, turning the phone into a mini MacBook.

Readgio turns your iPhone Duo into a book, allowing you to easily read PDFs or e-books and turning the outer iPhone Duo display into a book cover.

The viral Deck-Man brings back retro nostalgia by converting the phone into a miniature portable cassette recorder.

These are just a few examples from an increasingly growing list of new apps or apps adding support for Apple’s first foldable.

On the response to the phone, Susan Prescott, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations, said in a statement:

“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 optimised 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 are optimised for iPhone Duo,” she said.
