iPhone Duo's Vertical Dock Limited to Four App Icons
iPhone Duo's Vertical Dock Limited to Four App IconsMonday September 14, 2026 5:05 am PDT by Tim HardwickIt looks like the iPhone Duo's vertical Dock can currently only house four apps maximum. In his hands-on with the device, Marques Brownlee attempted to add a fifth app to the Dock, but was unable to do so. Apple does not mention the four-app limit in its tech documentation, but those hoping to add a fifth or sixth app to it may be out of luck.
