Apple says more than 100,000 apps are ready for iPhone Duo
More than 100,000 apps are ready for Apple's iPhone Duo, the company's new folding phone.
Developers have adapted apps for its different screen sizes and folding positions, despite earlier concerns that they might be slow to support a new device format.
The iPhone Duo remains out of stock in Apple Stores, and Apple says it does not know when the supply problem will be resolved.
Apps that have not been adapted still work, but they show black bars around the edges, especially on the larger inner screen.
Unadapted apps cannot use features made for the folding screen, such as changing what is shown as the phone is folded to different angles.
Apple has provided updated developer tools and held workshops in 19 cities to help developers prepare their apps.
Thousands of optimized apps are being added each day, and Apple says it expects updates to continue accelerating.
