How this app behaves on Duo

Netflix on iPhone Duo rebuilds Billboard, Clips, and playback for the larger canvas: Apple shows Clips on the outer display and a full inner-display browse when Duo opens. Clips switch frame-accurately between vertical and horizontal, and playback controls move for full screen, folded, and propped poses.

Copyable developer patterns

  1. 01

    Fold-aware player chrome

    Netflix says playback controls adapt when watching full screen, folded, or propped up. That is fold-aware layout, not a new streaming API.

  2. 02

    Outer-display Clips as a compact scene

    Apple shows Clips on the outer display. Keep that scene glanceable and vertical; let the inner display take regular-width Billboard and the player.

  3. 03

    Rebuild browse for the inner canvas

    Billboard was rebuilt for Duo’s jump in canvas rather than letterboxed. Size the inner browse to the width you actually receive.
