Uma das maiores críticas ao iPhone Duo nestes dias de pré-lançamento com certeza é o estado dos aplicativos disponíveis para o dobrável, que nem sempre apresentam uma experiência adaptada ao formato pouco convencional do aparelho.

Muitos desenvolvedores, no entanto, já lançaram atualizações para o dobrável, e a Apple está fazendo questão de destacar isso com novas coleções na App Store, as quais trazem apps e jogos que já foram adaptados para o iPhone Duo. Softwares otimizados para o aparelho também ostentarão o rótulo “Made for iPhone Duo” (“Feito para o iPhone Duo”, em tradução direta).

Susan Prescott, responsável global pelas relações com desenvolvedores da Apple, falou sobre a recepção que o dobrável tem recebido por parte de criadores de apps:

A resposta da nossa comunidade de desenvolvedores ao iPhone Duo tem sido incrível, e estamos inspirados pela rapidez com que eles adotaram a tela maior e as novas formas de interação. Desde assistir a programas e conteúdos populares na tela interna expansiva até realizar multitarefas em várias janelas ou jogar games com qualidade de console, desenvolvedores do mundo todo estão reinventando o que seus apps podem fazer. Mal podemos esperar para que os usuários descubram essas experiências a partir desta sexta-feira, com muitas outras novidades em apps a caminho.

Em um comunicado publicado no seu site oficial, a Apple deu bastante destaque à Netflix, cujo app chegou até mesmo a ser citado na keynote de apresentação do iPhone Duo. Outros apps de streaming, no entanto, já entraram para essa festa, como o Amazon Prime Video, o Paramount+ e as plataformas de transmissões esportivas MLB e PGA Tour.

Entre os apps de produtividade citados pela Apple, temos o Word e o Outlook (ambos da Microsoft), bem como o Zoom, o Slack e o Salesforce (ambos da Salesforce), o Fantastical, o Notewise, o Things e o Bear.

Criadores de conteúdo, por sua vez, já podem aproveitar o Instagram e seu app irmão Edits no iPhone Duo, bem como o app de IA Detail e o editor de vídeos VLLO.

No mundo dos jogos, temos os gigantescos Asphalt Legends e Zenless Zone Zero, bem como o RPG ¹Role-playing game, ou jogo de interpretação de papéis. UnGodly. No Apple Arcade, títulos como Sneaky Sasquatch e Retrocade já foram adaptados para tirar vantagem da tela interna do dobrável.

Outros apps citados pela Apple incluem Deck-Man, NYT Cooking, LTK, Lowe’s, Shop, OpenTable, DoorDash, Yelp, Lyft, American Airlines, United Airlines, Sky Guide, Tide Guide, edjing Mix, Next Shot, iQIYI, WPS Office, Xmind, Weibo, AMap Global, rednote, Taobao, WEBTOON, NAVER SERIES, KakaoPage, BAND, Airmail, Craft, Tiimo e Moises.

A Maçã também citou o SmartGym, o Flighty e o Tripsy, sobre os quais falamos ontem junto com o app Suporte da Apple, que também ganhou suporte ao iPhone Duo.

Mais apps

Além dos apps destacados acima, outros também já abraçaram o iPhone Duo, incluindo os desenvolvidos pela própria gigante de Cupertino, como o TestFlight e o GarageBand.

Entre os adaptados está até mesmo o WhatsApp:

Como o iPhone Duo ainda está nos seus primeiros dias de vida, é possível que apps não otimizados continuem sendo um problema por mais algumas semanas. No entanto, como pudemos conferir, a situação parece estar melhorando num ritmo bastante interessante.

Can AI-powered vibe coding challenge established software companies? Photocraft and other Adobe application clones spark a discussion of their capabilities, legal questions, and the possibility of creating customized software. A live download offers a closer look at the applications. The conversation also explores the Swift Angels developer meetup, LinkedIn’s growing importance for professional networking, and generational differences in technology.

Whether Apple Watch can pair with multiple iPhones, the storage demands of Apple Intelligence, and preparing Macs for the end of Rosetta support kick off this discussion. Other topics include whether expensive phones need cases, AI photo editing versus Photoshop, Pixelmator Pro as an Adobe alternative, and what Adobe’s acquisition of Topaz Labs means for  users.

This Road to Macstock features a discussion with Brian Hensen about his evolving role as the event's master of ceremonies. From speaker wrangler to stage host. Brian previews how this year’s Macstock will let him spotlight the people who inspire him, comments on the event’s welcoming Apple community, and reflects on the value of shared learning, speaker preparation, podcasting, and personal connections that are at the core of the Macstock experience.

Our next stop on the Road to Macstock is with Marty Jencius, who  previews his workshop on troubleshooting Apple devices through a highly interactive “open space” format. Rather than a lecture, Marty explains how attendees will form small groups around real questions, share expertise, move between discussions using the “law of two feet,” and create organic conversations. The result will be a flexible, collaborative experience that encourages learning, problem-solving, and new connections among the participants.

On the Road to Macstock, Allison Sheridan previews her session that features a hands-on spreadsheet workshop comparing Excel, Numbers, and Google Sheets. She explains practical skills like fill-down, fill-right, and possibly pivot tables, while stressing that the goal is not exhaustive training but confidence-building. Our conversation also touches on Copilot i relation to Excel, vibe coding, and why Macstock feels like coming home.

Gus Mueller (release notes):

• A new brushing engine that has been rewritten using Metal shaders. It includes an option for “velocity thinning”, where the faster you draw your brush strokes, the thinner the lines.
• A new acorn shell tool that you can use to send JavaScript to Acorn, as well as start an MCP server. So if you’ve got a favorite LLM you like to use, you can now use it to drive Acorn. The JavaScript section of the release notes are a good read if you’re interested in that. In addition:
  • The JS API has also been updated with examples for most calls.
  • The shell tool has a -jsio argument which lets you do things like:
    echo "acorn.takeLayeredScreenshot();" | acorn -jsio
• Big ML models (used for Select Subject and Super Resolution Scaling) are now downloaded on demand. If AI isn’t your thing, they won’t take up any space on your Mac.

I feel lucky that Acorn is enough for me.

Chris Person:

Very few software companies outside of Microsoft have the kind of leverage over entire industries. Premiere, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Lightroom and After Effects are all load bearing to some extent within their respective fields despite the fact that many people I know loathe using them.

Via Nick Heer:

I have said it before and I will say it again: if I had known the path Adobe’s software would eventually go down, I might very well have picked a different career.

Tesla fans have spent years begging the company to build an e-bike. Tesla just launched a bike — and it has no motor, no pedals, and it’s for toddlers.

The new “Balance Bike for Kids” sells for $225 on Tesla’s online shop, and it’s aimed at children aged 2 to 5.

Agenda 2030 mission goals? First is a digital ID, to get everyone signed up to the universal blockchain. That is equal to the mark of the beast system of total control. Second is elimination of all cash and the implementation of digital programmable centralised currencies (CBDCs). Resist it all!
