Apple reports over 100,000 iPhone Duo apps within two weeks of launch
Apple says more than 100,000 apps are already available for the iPhone Duo, with thousands added daily and extensive developer workshops worldwide.
Apple announced that the App Store now hosts well over 100,000 applications built for the iPhone Duo, just two weeks after the device’s release. The company said thousands of new apps are added each day.
"It’s been wonderful to see how quickly developers have embraced iPhone Duo, and we’re grateful for their creativity and innovation. Today there are well over 100,000 apps built for iPhone Duo already live on the App Store, and thousands of optimized apps are being added to the store each day. In the last month alone, thousands of developers have joined us for workshops in 19 cities around the world to experience iPhone Duo firsthand and bring updated apps to their users. The enthusiasm has been incredible, and we’re excited to see the pace of updates continue to accelerate as more and more apps optimize for iPhone Duo," said Susan Prescott, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations.
Apple reported that more than 2,000 developers have participated in over 50 in-person workshops globally. The firm is highlighting Duo-compatible apps through curated sections such as “Popular Apps on iPhone Duo” and “Great Games on iPhone Duo,” and a “Made for iPhone Duo” badge appears on product pages for optimized apps.
Among the newly optimized applications are Microsoft Word, Microsoft Outlook, Zoom, Etsy, and Halide Mark III. The company noted that several apps initially released for the Duo have received further updates to improve performance on both the inner and outer displays.
