Apple updates TestFlight for foldable iPhone Duo

Apple just updated its TestFlight app to support landscape mode on iPhone, and to let developers resize the app when using iPhone Mirroring with a Mac running the latest macOS. Both changes come ahead of the iPhone Duo, Apple's foldable phone set to start at $1,999, going on presale October 16. The update also promises some unnamed stability improvements and bug fixes.

Why it mattersTestFlight is how developers test their apps before public release. Getting it ready for new screen shapes and sizes means a smoother rollout for foldable devices.
