Apple is looking into ways to improve Safari on the iPhone Duo so websites use more space on the outer display. Multiple outlets say the issue involves Safari’s side controls, which can squeeze page content when the phone is held partially open.
The coverage points to Apple’s work and discussion on the WebKit blog, including updates coming in Safari 27.1. One described user-facing change is better handling of PDFs when the Duo is held partway folded like a book: Safari 27.1 can display a PDF as two pages side by side. Other reported pieces of the investigation focus on giving developers more options for how web content adapts to the Duo’s outer screen.
Outlets generally agree on the problem—cramped layouts caused by Safari controls on the outer display—and on the fact that Apple is exploring solutions. They differ mainly in how much detail they provide about Safari 27.1 and in the emphasis they place on developer enablement versus immediate user behavior.
