iOS 27 Rumored to Include Split-Screen App Adaptation Feature

iOS 27 Rumored to Include Split-Screen App Adaptation Feature

Published by skeptic

Apple is working on a split-screen app landscape adaptation feature for iOS 27, according to a known leaker. In a new post on Weibo, the leaker known as “Fixed Focus Digital” said Apple is developing a “Parallel View” capability for iOS, aimed at solving the platform’s longstanding weakness with large-screen and landscape layouts. Parallel View is a feature in Huawei’s HarmonyOS that automatically adapts smartphone apps for wide displays at the system level, without requiring developers to redesign their apps. Fixed Focus Digital appears to be using the term as a reference point for the type of solution Apple is pursuing, rather than suggesting Apple is directly replicating Huawei’s implementation. The leaker pointed to iPadOS as Apple’s own existing example of the approach, noting that Apple already handles landscape adaptation at the system level on the iPad. iOS has never had an equivalent mechanism. The feature appears to be aimed squarely at the foldable iPhone, whose 7.8-inch inner display will expose a fundamental limitation of iOS: virtually every iPhone app is designed for a tall, …

Foldable iPhone ‘Ultra’ Rumored to Launch in Just Two Colors

Foldable iPhone ‘Ultra’ Rumored to Launch in Just Two Colors

Published by skeptic

Apple’s first foldable iPhone, expected to be called the “iPhone Ultra,” is shaping up to launch with a noticeably restrained selection of colors, according to multiple leakers, with sources pointing to as few as two options and a deliberate avoidance of bold or vibrant finishes for the device. In February, the Weibo leaker known as “Instant Digital” shared a broader account of the foldable iPhone’s design, describing it with just two color options, with white as the only “confirmed” shade at the time. The leaker did not reveal the second option. Instant Digital revisited their February report earlier this month without walking back any color details, keeping the two-option account intact. More recently, Macworld cited a supply chain source to provide new details about the foldable’s color options: a classic silver and white model, and an indigo option described as similar to the iPhone 17 Pro’s Deep Blue finish. The same source said the device will offer fewer choices than the iPhone 18 Pro models, with no bold or vibrant colors. The approach is reminiscent …

It’s been described as having a thin, flat, circular disc shape, with an aluminum and glass shell. A physical control button is included on one edge. Apple wants the final version of the device to be about the same size as an ‌AirTag‌, but because of the hardware inside, it could be thicker. It sounds like the wearable will be versatile. It could have a clip to attach to clothing like a pin, but there’s also supposedly a hole in the device so it can be worn …
