I found and enabled a half-finished iPhone Duo simulator in Xcode 27.2 🤯 it doesn't have Duo software yet, but we made a pre-release version of Bitrig (with the 3D model!) if you want to try it out

you would not believe how much I have folded and unfolded that 3D model instead of getting any work done 😭

Thanks for the help!! Your demo app (in the video) is super cool, I wonder how it’ll look on the real Duo with 27.1 👀

If you want it, reply & I'll DM you a link to download! The simulator is free, so you can run your apps in it without upgrading :) Fair warning: this is janky, but it's also REALLY fun

Yes!! But I have a hackathon to plan! Take it away from me!

and the best part is, the hackathon is all about spinning the 3D model. oh, wait, I meant building for duo! close enough

@fedesanchez0 Wait how did you get the unfold state to happen. I found the sim but can’t unfold it in device hub

Julian Schiavo's profile picture

@fedesanchez0 I had to do some pretty hacky stuff to get this working 😂 the orientation is also wired up weird in 27.2 (you can see in the video that we basically need to rotate apps when you unfold right now)

@josesaezmerino @fedesanchez0 This is why we had to make a Bitrig pre-release copy instead of just telling everyone how to enable it. The wiring for this is pretty complex.

@_julianschiavo @fedesanchez0 You guys are insane lol I’d love to test it and see what happens with simctl recordings

Was playing with my apps running on this all last night. It's so addicting opening and closing the phone

right?? RIDICULOUSLY fun and this is before we get the folding blur animation

Okay this is getting real now. Can’t wait to see how much chaos fold states bring to app design 😂

I'm so happy they made the hinge angle public!!

Yeah, that opens up so many possibilities!

how did you turn it on, is it a hidden device type?

Julian Schiavo's profile picture
Julian Schiavo1 day ago

yeah! the device type is in Xcode but they disabled it so it doesn't show up in DeviceHub. I also had to wire up things like switching the active screen when folding/unfolding

why is it glitching when folding and unfolding?

Julian Schiavo's profile picture
Julian Schiavo1 day ago

this isn't the finished Duo simulator, so it doesn't have the full Duo software!

half-baked duo sim in xcode and y'all still shipped a 3d model huh
