iOS 27.2 is officially here, with additions that include improved Siri AI powers and new features for Messages, Apple TV, and more. And if you own an iPhone Duo, iOS 27.2 includes two exclusive features for your new device.
#1: Apple Pencil Support
Apple Pencil is now officially supported on the iPhone Duo, launching just days after the device got into users’ hands.
You’ll need an Apple Pencil (USB-C) to use this feature, as it’s the only Pencil model supported by the iPhone Duo.
You can use Apple Pencil on both the outer and inner displays to perform tasks like annotating PDFs and images, drawing and doodling, and saving handwritten notes.
After Apple first revealed the iPhone Duo last month, most users expected a longer wait for Pencil support. It’s great to see it coming so soon.
#2: Edge Light for FaceTime and other video calls
One thing that makes the iPhone Duo particularly suitable for video calls is the ability to fold it into “laptop mode” (what Apple calls “sitting” mode) for hands-free calls.
But with iOS 27.2, the Duo gains another feature ideal for video calls: Edge Light.
Edge Light is a macOS feature now available on iOS exclusively for iPhone Duo. It adds a ring of light around the edge of the screen to illuminate your face during calls.
You can use Edge Light with FaceTime or with popular third-party video calling apps like Zoom.
