Apple has unveiled its first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, which has a 7.6-inch diagonal screen when opened up. And Netflix is here for it.

Netflix is among the handful of pre-release partners who have been working with Apple to redesign their iOS apps for the larger screen real estate of the iPhone Duo and to take advantage of its new interface features.

“When members use Netflix on iOS, they want that same immersive, big-screen feeling to travel with them,” a company spokesperson told Variety. The streamer’s upcoming iOS 27 version of the app designed for the iPhone Duo “reimagines Billboard, our new playback controls and Clips for the new device.”
