↗
Apple introduced a foldable iPhone Duo with dual displays and Apple Pencil support, alongside upgraded iPhone 18 Pro models, AirPods 5 with ANC, and a new Watch Series 12 featuring Siri Recap and Audio Intelligence.
Engineers must update iOS apps to support the iPhone Duo’s dual-display mode and side-by-side multitasking introduced in iOS 27. The upgraded camera system on the iPhone 18 Pro line adds variable aperture and Pro controls, requiring changes to camera-intensive applications. AirPods 5’s active noise cancellation and the Watch Series 12’s Siri Recap and Audio Intelligence features expand on-device audio and sensing capabilities that developers can use.
