   I think this is my main hesitation with picking up the Duo on the first release. I have no doubt the build quality is exceptional, but the chance that the apps I use are not well optimized for this new form factor is pretty high in the first year of its release.

   I don't think they won't work, but I anticipate oddities to appear for a while, especially for older applications.

      I’m not sure about this, we already support resizing on our app for a while now because of our iPad/mac catalyst version, so I fail to see how different it would be on the Duo.

      I assume other apps will have have the same, since our team is super small compared to everyone else.

         The small screen is so small they had to move controls to the right, I would expect glitches because of that, especially for custom controls.

            Ok, I’ll test that, but I think we are using the safe areas correctly

         Apps not rebuilt with the latest SDK will display in pillar-boxes mode, centred on the screen.
