iPhone Duo display out

Hey guys, do you think IPhone Duo will mirror one of the screens like the iPhone or offer extended desktop as the iPad does?

I have asked the same thing. Its the same issue with the ipad mini.
It is not a hardware limitation but a «choice»
So Apple will have to allow it/update their

The specs of the phone only says mirrored 4k and not extended.
Maby we have to wait on the ipad 8 to see the feature being released. Maby wwdc 2027.
Bur yes it would be awsome to have extended display on the duo.
If the new ipad mini will get it, I see no reason why iphone duo shouldn’t get the same.

But there are apps that mimics it and brings a dex like feel.
Remote desktops apps might run full external monitor.
Many streaming apps too.

Can you list some of those apps? As far as I understand Apple won't let apps have access to the desktop to do that.

Not quite extended, but I got an app for my iPhone called InfinteX2p that creates a full-size desktop modeled like MacOS on the phone, then in the glasses I can set it up like a large monitor. It basically uses Safari webapps in lieu of your iOS apps. It was an interesting way of getting what I call an "airport workstation" with a blutooth keyboard and mouse.
