The first developer beta launched today, and it adds some Siri AI updates, vertical tabs in Safari, an updated StandBy mode for slab iPhones that works similarly to the iPhone Duo, Reachability for the iPhone Duo, an updated Health app, and more. Check out 9to5Mac for a comprehensive list. [Link: Everything new in iOS 27.3 beta 1 so far | https://9to5mac.com/2026/11/03/everything-new-in-ios-27-3-beta-1-so-far/ | 9to5Mac]

Halide’s Duo update just knocked an item off my camera wish list.

Halide III just got its iPhone Duo update with re-worked controls for the new screen formats and a feature that Apple’s native camera app left out: a waist-level viewfinder. When you use the phone in its L-shaped pose the image preview will appear on the top portion of the screen. I was hoping I’d be able to move the preview to the lower half of the screen and use it like a classic Hasselblad camera. It’s a nerdy little detail, but Halide is made by nerds, for nerds, and I appreciate that.

The Duo makes its Apple Store debut.

Apple’s foldable is available for purchase and demos at stores worldwide today, and the company is already sharing images of the crowds and customers celebrating the launch at Apple Jing’an, Shanghai. You can check out our iPhone Duo review before you run to your closest Apple store, but be aware that there are only a “limited” number of in-store units available.
