A compelling video demonstration shared online showcases an "iPhone Duo" setup leveraging Apple's Shortcuts app to execute automated tasks depending on whether the device is opened or closed.
The clip highlights how physical form-factor changes—such as folding or unfolding the hardware—can be tied directly to software actions, offering a preview of how dual-screen or foldable concepts might integrate with iOS.
While Apple has not officially announced a foldable or dual-screen iPhone, community concepts and experimental builds continue to imagine how the company's ecosystem could adapt to unconventional designs.
