Apple is working on a split-screen app landscape adaptation feature for iOS 27, the leaker known as “Fixed Focus Digital” said in an X post.
From the post: Apple is working on the parallel vision of the fruit version of iOS to solve the problem of horizontal screen adaptation … Objectively speaking, iOS is indeed excellent, but its large‑screen adaptation has always been rather lackluster.
He/she seems to be referencing Huawei Parallel View (also officially known as App Multiplier), a system-level HarmonyOS feature that splits a single app’s interface into two independent windows on large-screen devices like tablets and foldables. It allows users to view a list on one side and detailed content on the other without switching screens or opening new tabs. Perhaps Apple is considering a similar feature for iPhones — perhaps, especially, for the upcoming foldable smartphone.
iOS 27 — along with macOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and visionOS 27 — will doubtless be previewed at next week’s Worldwide Developer Conference, which starts Monday. The operating system updates will likely arrive to end users in September or October.
