MLB redesigns its app for Apple's foldable iPhone Duo
MLB has redesigned its app for Apple's foldable iPhone Duo, which launched on October 23, 2026.
The new experience arrives as the Tampa Bay Rays face the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 1 of the World Series, scheduled for 8 p.m.
ET that day.
The phone has a 5.4-inch cover screen and a 7.6-inch inner display, and users can watch on either one.
Fans can watch video alongside live box scores when the phone is propped open, or split the screen with another app.
MLB is also using AI to add information about plays, players and game situations as they unfold.
The aim is to help fans follow the action and its statistics in one place, rather than switching between video and data.

What people are saying
I really like our Game Day experience merged with video, so watch video [and] live stats.
When you get into Game Day, and you're actually applying context to the events, we're using AI to actually generate more information about each play, each player, each situation.
You're on a phone that's in your pocket, you're sitting down somewhere, and just to be able to go like that — whoops, I messed it up with my finger — but to have it just open right up into that is amazing,
