Tesla App Gains iPad and iPhone Duo Support‎

Tesla this week updated its app with native iPad and iPhone Duo support, adapting its vehicle and home energy controls for larger displays. Previously, ‌iPad‌ users could install the iPhone app, but it lacked native support with a layout designed for the larger screen. The new interface essentially uses two columns, with navigation and controls on the left and a larger visualization of the vehicle or home on the right. Tesla designer Alex Guichet announced the update on October 21, sharing screenshots and confirming support for Android tablets and foldable devices as well. The release arrives ahead of the ‌iPhone Duo‌'s launch on Friday, October 23. The Tesla App is rolling out now for iPad, iPhone Duo, and Android Tablets and Foldables. Finally on the big screens you bring around with you https://t.co/xfsqvMvTDa— Alex Guichet (@AlexGuichet) October 21, 2026 The vehicle view provides access to features such as climate, charging, and security, alongside a large rendering of the car and shortcuts for vehicle controls. The home energy view displays power flowing between solar panels, a Powerwall, the home, and the grid. Tesla's design team reworked multiple views to take advantage of the additional space, with further refinements planned for future releases. The update follows Apple's opening of App Store submissions for ‌iPhone Duo‌ apps earlier this month. Existing iPhone apps can run on the device, but apps need to be built with the iOS 27.1 SDK or later to dynamically resize to fill its inner display. Unoptimized apps appear with black borders. Version 4.62.0 of Tesla's app is now available on the App Store for the iPhone, ‌iPad‌, and Apple Watch.

Apple Reportedly Boosts iPhone Duo Orders by 44%‎

Strong pre-orders have reportedly prompted Apple to order millions more iPhone Duo units from suppliers, according to DigiTimes. Supply chain sources said Foxconn and component manufacturers had received instructions reflecting a roughly 44% increase from 9.7 million to 14 million devices. The revised target reportedly follows strong pre-orders for Apple's first foldable iPhone and covers a full 12-month period, rather than the remainder of 2026. Apple last week described demand as "nothing short of extraordinary." Within 30 minutes of pre-orders opening on October 16, U.S. shipping estimates had reached January 25 across all configurations. Meeting the higher shipment target could still prove challenging. DigiTimes said output would depend on assembly progress, following earlier reports of manufacturing difficulties affecting assembly, displays, and hinges. ‌DigiTimes‌ forecasts that global foldable smartphone shipments will grow 25.7% in 2026 and 59.1% in 2027, compared with 7.4% growth in 2025, with Apple's entry expected to contribute to the expansion. The ‌iPhone Duo‌ launches on October 23, starting at $1,999 in the United States.Related Roundup: iPhone DuoTag: DigiTimesBuyer's Guide: iPhone Duo (Buy Now)Related Forum: iPhoneThis article, "Apple Reportedly Boosts iPhone Duo Orders by 44%" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Fortnite Returning to Australian App Store After Court Ruling‎

Fortnite will return to Australia's App Store today, Epic Games told Reuters, after a federal court ordered Apple to allow eligible Epic apps back onto the store. Australia was the only country excluded when Fortnite returned to the App Store worldwide in May. Epic held off while seeking further court orders addressing Apple's payment terms. The requirement to process Epic's compliant submissions takes effect without waiting for the broader ‌App Store‌ changes due in March 2027.Tags: App Store, Australia, Epic Games, Epic Games vs. AppleThis article, "Fortnite Returning to Australian App Store After Court Ruling" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Ordered to Open iPhone to Rival App Stores in Australia‎

Australia's Federal Court today ordered Apple to allow competing app stores, direct app downloads, and alternative payment services for Australian users from March 1, 2027. The orders follow the court's August 2025 finding that Apple misused its market power by restricting app distribution and payment options. They cover users whose Apple Account region is Australia, with Apple Developer Program members worldwide able to participate. Apple must let users find, download, install, and update apps through competing marketplaces and websites without charging for access or obstructing their use. Developers must receive the necessary tools on substantially the same terms as for App Store distribution, and Apple cannot penalize them for using competing stores or payment services. Developers will also be able to offer alternative payments and link to other ways to pay, including within ‌App Store‌ apps. Apple cannot require them to offer its own purchasing system alongside alternatives, report those transactions, or allow Apple to audit them. Developers can offer lower prices through competing payment services without Apple preventing them. The ruling also limits Apple's ability to collect fees on those purchases. It cannot charge for purchases through alternative payment services or websites in apps distributed outside the ‌App Store‌. For ‌App Store‌ apps, fees are capped at the equivalent charge for payments for physical goods or services, plus any genuine, reasonable additional costs Apple incurs for digital purchases. Apple also cannot make alternative distribution conditional on developers offering content purchased elsewhere through its own payment system. Security checks will remain. Apps downloaded outside the ‌App Store‌ must undergo an automated security or privacy scan and be notarized by Apple or a qualified third party. However, Apple cannot impose disproportionate installation barriers or otherwise obstruct alternative distribution. Additional security requirements for competing payments must be necessary and proportionate, with developers given an explanation in advance. Apple can remove or disable externally installed apps only in specified cases involving harmful content, genuine security risks, or legal requirements. It cannot ban third-party apps or alternative app stores from being preinstalled on iPhones, but does not have to distribute competing stores through the ‌App Store‌. Apple told Reuters that it plans to appeal the ruling and ask the court to pause its enforcement, citing its intellectual property rights and ‌App Store‌ security. The changes take effect at noon Melbourne time on March 1, 2027. Apple can apply between February 1 and February 15, with supporting evidence, for a court-approved extension until May 3.Tags: Australia, Epic Games, Epic Games vs. AppleThis article, "Apple Ordered to Open iPhone to Rival App Stores in Australia" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Suppliers Face Hurdles Cutting Circuit Board Emissions‎

Apple's efforts to cut supply chain emissions face persistent challenges among printed circuit board manufacturers, where demand for more advanced components is increasing energy consumption, according to DigiTimes. The report says requirements from Apple and Google are prompting suppliers to publish sustainability reports, buy more renewable electricity, and work with their own suppliers to cut emissions. Simultaneously, growing demand for more complex boards used in AI and high-performance computing is increasing the electricity and water needed for production. The matter presents a challenge for Apple's requirement that its direct manufacturing suppliers use 100% renewable electricity for Apple production before 2030. Purchased electricity accounts for nearly 60% of the PCB industry's emissions, according to an analysis cited by DigiTimes. Suppliers also face difficulties changing the materials they use. Lower-carbon alternatives do not yet meet all the performance requirements of advanced boards and require extensive testing before they can be widely adopted.Tags: Apple Environment, DigiTimesThis article, "Apple Suppliers Face Hurdles Cutting Circuit Board Emissions" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Things Updated for iPhone Duo With Adaptive Layout‎

Cultured Code has updated its task management app Things with support for the iPhone Duo, introducing an adaptive layout, a sidebar, and multi-window support ahead of the device's launch on Friday. The app's interface adjusts to the ‌iPhone Duo‌'s different configurations, including when it is closed, fully open, or partially folded like a book. The layout also supports both portrait and landscape orientations. Opening the device reveals a sidebar for switching between lists, which is a first for Things on the iPhone. Users can also open two Things windows side by side and drag and drop items between them to organize their tasks. Controls sit in a vertical bar within reach of the user's thumb. This includes Things' Magic Plus button, which can be dragged to a specific position in a list to insert a new to-do there. Connecting a keyboard enables the full set of Things' keyboard features, including a persistent selection, keyboard shortcuts, and Type Travel for quickly navigating between lists. Things 3.25 is available now through the App Store.Related Roundup: iPhone DuoTags: Cultured Code, Things 3Buyer's Guide: iPhone Duo (Buy Now)Related Forum: iPhoneThis article, "Things Updated for iPhone Duo With Adaptive Layout" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Simplicity and Siri AI Are HomeView's Killer Features, Apple Says‎

Apple designed Siri AI on the HomeView to complete household tasks with natural voice commands and minimal follow-up questions, executives told The Verge, emphasizing simplicity as a key feature of the new home hub. In an new interview, Kaiann Drance, Apple's vice president of product marketing for home, linked the timing of HomeView's introduction to ‌Siri‌ AI's personal context capabilities and Apple's approach to privacy. "With the magic of ‌Siri‌ AI, it comes together in a way that we haven't been able to deliver before," Drance said. Lilian Rincon, Apple's vice president of product marketing for AI, described ‌Siri‌ AI as "much more capable," highlighting how conversational requests could make smart home accessories easier to control: It's great because you can just ask it to change the temperature on your thermostat in a very natural way. As the Siri AI capabilities continue to evolve, the home experience is fitting to be able to interact with in this natural way. Rincon said that allowing people to speak naturally broadens the audience for the technology: Because now it can be my mother-in-law or the Gen Z who's in college, both of them can use this in the way that they naturally speak and get what they want. Apple's approach apparently also places emphasis on limiting the exchanges needed to complete a task. Rincon said the assistant is designed to act on a request and let the user move on: A lot of these assistants out there are always asking questions because they want more information. For us, it isn't about that. We're there to get it done, take an action for you, show you what you need to get done, and then really get out of the way. HomeView can recognize up to six people and display information tailored to each user. ‌Siri‌ requests involving personal context require a paired device that supports Apple Intelligence. General knowledge questions, natural conversations, and improved music discovery are still available without an Apple Intelligence-compatible iPhone or iPad. Apple announced the HomeView on October 13. The tabletop and wall-mounted models each cost $299 in the United States and launch on November 13.Related Roundup: Apple HomeViewTags: Kaiann Drance, Siri, Siri AIBuyer's Guide: HomeView (Buy Now)Related Forum: HomePod, HomeView, CarPlay – Home & Auto TechThis article, "Simplicity and Siri AI Are HomeView's Killer Features, Apple Says" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
