Apple is making sure you have iPhone Duo-compatible apps at launch
The new iPhone Duo will be available for pre-order on October 16, with actual deliveries starting on October 23. But Apple wasting no time, making sure the device has a smooth launch by inviting developers to make and optimize their apps for the iPhone Duo.
Apple published some guidelines and suggestions on how to make your apps suitable for the iPhone Duo. The apps must be based on the new Xcode 27.1, which Apple has already released and is available to download.
Developers are now welcome to submit their apps and games in App Store Connect. If the app is built or recompiled with Xcode 27.1, the App Store will display a badge letting people know that this app is optimized for iPhone Duo.
The company also introduced a new rule requiring every new app to include a screenshot of the app on an iPhone Duo starting April 2027.
In addition to the helpful resources, Apple is offering in-person iPhone Duo workshops to help developers, and you can sign up over here.

The Oppo Find X9 Pro and Vivo X300 Pro were 100k-110k at launch. And they came in only 1 variant (16gb/512gb). I think they have gotten a 10k bump in price after the RAMapocalypse. Mi 17 Ultra is available at 129k and Vivo X300 Ultra at 144k
