Why would anyone want a foldable phone? That's easy: You want a pocketable phone that still has a display large enough to truly enjoy books, magazines, games, and perhaps do some work without squinting.

With the iPhone Duo (read our review here), Apple did an amazing job with the user interface, as well as optimizing its own apps to look great on the Duo. But it's up to third-party developers to bring their apps up to speed and create versions that play nice with the Duo's dual displays and all that screen estate on the inner display.

The news here is mixed: Many apps, even some very popular ones (we're looking at you, Google), still haven't been redesigned to look great on the Duo. But among those that have, there are a couple that really stand out in terms of design and creativity. Here's our list of the best iPhone Duo apps so far.

Two notes: I've skipped Apple's own apps. They look universally great, but it's to be expected, and everyone who gets the Duo gets all of them anyway. Second, some of my experience comes from beta versions of these apps that were shared with me in advance for the purpose of testing; your experience on finalized apps might be slightly different (hopefully even better).

One of the first apps to receive a complete Duo overhaul, Netflix is the one you'll show to friends on your new foldable iPhone. Not only does the larger inner display show a ton of content, but the app does different tricks depending on how you fold and position your iPhone Duo.
