Fernando's look at StandBy modes Apple never announced treats the folding phone as a first glimpse of the company's smart home plans.

Apple Didn’t Tell Us Everything About iPhone Duo

Apple's folding iPhone does not reach anyone's hands until October 23, but 9to5Mac has already been reading its code. The result, "Apple Didn't Tell Us Everything About iPhone Duo," is barely a day old and moving at about eleven times the pace of a typical first day on the channel.

That alone comes close to what the whole channel usually draws in a day across everything it has posted. For an Apple news outlet that publishes tutorials and reviews as a matter of routine, one video carrying that much weight is unusual.

The subject is StandBy, the mode Apple introduced in iOS 17 that turns a charging iPhone into a bedside or desk display. Presenter Fernando walks through five experiences reportedly headed for the Duo: Home Camera, Home Modular, Flow, Fade and Snoopy. The Peanuts beagle already appears as an Apple Watch face. The video also covers new widget layouts and Watch-style customization that appear to be designed for the folding screen. Fernando's bigger argument, as the description puts it, is that these dashboards of cameras, clocks and home controls may preview the look of Apple's still-unreleased homeOS.
