> On the other side of the pond, Android foldable owners have spent seven years discovering which of their apps work and which ones don’t.
Funny how this thing isn't even announced yet and the fanpeople are already glazing Apple over it :p
I daily a Surface Duo 2 as my car-relegated phone, running Android 12 (which I kinda regret upgrading from 10) and loaded with offline maps and plenty of cached music, and it has never been an issue when an app doesn't gracefully handle being stretched across both panes. Some of them aren't ideal to use that way with the bezel in the middle if they put interactable UI elements there, which is what the SDK support update is surely about, but I have never ever seen an app fail to work like this blurb is worded to claim.
There's a toggle in the application manager for whether or not an app should open dual-pane, and single-pane is the default anyway because why wouldn't one want to multitask?
I have a Pixel Fold and similar experience - some minor nuisances but not come across anything that doesn't work. The biggest nuisance is apps restarting when switching from the front screen to the big screen.
