Apple announced over 100,000 Duo-optimized apps are now on the App Store for its new foldable iPhone Duo, with major updates from Microsoft, Zoom, NBA, NHL, and more rolling out. The company also hosted 50+ developer workshops across 19 cities to help apps adapt to the new form factor. Despite criticism at launch over limited Duo-optimized apps, demand for the $1,999 device surged, selling out within hours.
