iPhone Duo Lets You Increase the Bezel If You Use a Badly Designed Case
Putting a case on a smartphone is usually as easy as pushing it into place, but it's more difficult with a foldable phone. Apple has introduced a hidden software setting to help you adapt if an accessory doesn't perfectly align with its new design.A new feature called Shift Left Edge was spotted in iOS 27 by blogger Nicolas Lellouche during last week's iPhone event, before MacRumors later reported on it. Without any further time with the iPhone Duo, no one appears to know whether the cases sold by Apple would require this feature to be enabled.
