Apple's dual screen phone is attracting developers quickly. 9to5Mac reports that Apple says there are already well over 100,000 apps ready for iPhone Duo, with thousands more added every day, about two weeks after launch

More than 2,000 developers attended over 50 in-person workshops. Apple's Susan Prescott said the enthusiasm has been incredible

The App Store now has a Made for iPhone Duo badge and editorial lists to help people find optimised apps. Apps already supporting it include Word, Outlook, Zoom, Etsy and Halide Mark III

These are Apple's own figures, and supporting the Duo does not always mean an app has been fully redesigned to make the most of both screens. Some developers have clearly put in more effort than others

New form factors live or die by their apps, so this is a strong start for the Duo. Productivity apps like Word and Outlook make obvious sense on two screens. The badge should help owners find the apps that do something special rather than simply stretching

Do you own an iPhone Duo or plan to? And which apps would benefit most from two screens?
