## Key points

- Apple’s foldable phone gives streaming video a larger screen.
- Apps are adapting layouts for its different positions.
- Its $1,999 starting price may limit its reach.

## Summary

Apple’s iPhone Duo could give streaming services a new way to present films and television on a phone, with a large fold-out screen designed for longer-form viewing. Its launch comes as viewing habits have shifted towards vertical video and short-form content, making the device a potential opportunity for Hollywood’s premium video business.

The Duo has a 5.4-inch outer screen and a 7.6-inch inner display, and can also be used partly folded or with two apps open at once. Netflix has adapted its interface so video and controls can occupy separate halves, while MLB combines live games with statistics and The New York Times places recipe videos alongside instructions. Starting at $1,999, the phone is expensive and currently limited in availability, so its broader impact remains uncertain.
