New Duo apps have me rethinking how to use the iPhone

I am relearning how to use an iPhone. This is cool. There's some tricks you gotta get used to

you gotta experiment. Front, open, tent. There's just so many ways to use it. I'm talking to app

developers who have modified their apps to work just a little bit better with the Duo and all the

many ways that you could be holding this screen. Let's see what we can learn. It's iPhone Duo

launch day and with a new folding iPhone comes so many more ways to use an iPhone. Now you can have

it open up like a laptop. Or maybe you want to hold it like a book. Or maybe put it in this tent

shape. Or maybe you just fold it flat and then twist that large screen to the side. Apple invited

media to talk with a few of these app developers that are getting creative with the Duo. And the

app everyone's talking about right now is Deckman. The creator, Vidit Bargoth, made it for fun as a

hackathon project. It takes your music library, including what you have in Apple Music, and it

makes it look like you're just loading in albums as cassette tapes on a portable device

like a Walkman. It has the clicking sounds and everything. You hear the fast forward sound

It's taking me back. Oh, I got to eat jacked, hold on. Here's a fun Easter egg. If you press

too many buttons, you could mess up your tape. Now I need to untangle this thing. Do you need

an Apple Pencil to fix it? You can use an Apple Pencil, but you can also do it the old school way

And for his next version he tells me he wants to make mixtapes I think the next level of customizability is like being able to send mixtapes to your friends and create them right in Deckman Playing around with Deckman took me back

back to the time of the first wild iPhone apps that were just visually silly. Do you remember

iBeer where it looked like you were drinking a glass of beer as you tilted it back? Sometimes

you just have to have a little fun with the new form factors. But as I talked to other more

established apps. I did learn that most teams have only spent about two weeks optimizing their apps

and developers seem to be in a similar boat as all of us. They're learning and experimenting

Are you going to be typing on it like it's a tiny laptop? Are you going to watch cooking videos with

it propped up on your countertop? Or maybe you'll take advantage of the split screen to follow along

in a recipe in different ways like we see here from the New York Times cooking app. All the controls

move to the bottom and your steps are really easy to follow. So you could be cooking here

and you can kind of have the steps like always at the top of the display. You picked quite the recipe example. My tummy is grumbling here. Chocolate lava cake for two

It is delicious. You should try it. It's a 20 minute recipe. And it's for two. A duo, you might say. Oh my gosh

It was clear to me that the key is just about giving users options. And you're likely going to

see many more app updates to come. Check out here what Major League Baseball is working on

Game one of the World Series is today on Duo's launch day

And propping up the phone like a laptop helps you see stats on the bottom while watching a live game For baseball fans it always about stats right So this is synchronized so that the data is keeping pace with what happening in the video

Now, this is just a taste of several things they're working on for multitasking fans

If there's an app that has you scrolling through vertical video, you might count on that larger screen real estate to be utilized

maybe even to show you things like where you can buy items that are in that video

or maybe you'll see related tools. Multitasking seems to be the big advantage

in almost every app we saw. But sometimes it was just about finding

the most comfortable way to get lost in one world. This is Ungodly

It's an RPG coming out November 11th and the game just keeps the action flowing

no matter how you hold or fold it. I don't know what I'm doing. I'm button mashing, but I'm winning

I'm digging how this screen feels with gaming. And of course it looks good too

You just keep it closed. and oh, she's still fighting. No pausing. I think it's just going to take getting used to

because if I close it, I'm like, oh, I'm done. No, you better pause. Where's the pause

I also came across a few cool little visual tricks. Like check out this Netflix app

They made it look like the top half of the screen was shining its mirror reflection down on the bottom half

But that's all just a cool design magic trick of the eye. Nothing really is reflecting on this matted screen

This is the most exciting iPhone since the first iPhone. Every app has so many possibilities now There just so many ways to use it I don know if one app has all the answers yet because this is new territory It takes some experimentation but I think I getting it I

sure though I'll look back on this video and laugh at how silly I seem when I'm flipping the duo all

over the place. There's so many ways to duo. How will you duo? I don't know. Well now I have my own

duo to live with and explore. I'm still setting it up. It still has the whole hello sign. There's

a lot to play with here. It's exciting. It's new. And yes, I put a case on it. Because do you think

I'm going to walk around with a $2,000 phone without a case? Now, I know it might not be easy

to get one on launch day, but as this video goes live, I'm going to be at the Fifth Avenue Apple

Store in New York City to see who is camping out overnight to get one. And we shall learn in the

coming weeks if supply can meet demand or if fans will just be bent out of shape. So watch for that

coverage coming out soon. It is a busy time for Apple news. Stay tuned next week as Apple has

more for us. Yes, something to pro and tell. There is an LA event. I'm going to be there to tell you

all about what's uncovered. So subscribe to not miss out. Rumors point to Apple showing off a

MacBook Pro with a touchscreen. So we're folding iPhone screens, we're touching Mac screens

it's wild times for Apple fans. Let me know what you want to know about the Duo

and I'll catch you next week for one more thing in the world of Apple
