\t\"\"<\/p>\n

iOS 27.2 is officially here<\/a>, with additions that include upgraded Siri AI powers<\/a> and new features for Messages<\/a>, Apple TV<\/a>, and more<\/a>. And if you\u2019re an iPhone Duo owner, iOS 27.2 includes two exclusive features for your new device.<\/p>\n

#1: Apple Pencil support<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Apple Pencil is now officially supported on iPhone Duo, launching just days after the device first got into users\u2019 hands.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll need an Apple Pencil (USB-C)<\/a> to use the feature, as it\u2019s the only Pencil model supported by iPhone Duo.<\/p>\n

You can use Apple Pencil on both the outer and inner displays to do things like annotate PDFs and images, sketch and doodle, and save handwritten notes.<\/p>\n

After Apple first unveiled the iPhone Duo last month, most users expected a longer wait for Pencil support. It\u2019s great to see it arrive so soon.<\/p>\n

#2: Edge Light for FaceTime and other video calls<\/p>\n

\"\"Edge Light in macOS<\/p>\n

One thing that makes iPhone Duo especially great for video calls is the ability to fold it in \u2018laptop mode\u2019 (what Apple calls \u2018seated\u2019 mode) for hands-free calls.<\/p>\n

But with iOS 27.2, the Duo gets another feature ideal for video calls: Edge Light.<\/p>\n

Edge Light is a macOS feature that\u2019s now available in iOS exclusively for iPhone Duo. It adds a ring of light around the edge of the display to illuminate your face during calls.<\/p>\n

You can use Edge Light with FaceTime or with popular third-party video calling apps such as Zoom.<\/p>\n

Have you tried either of iOS 27.2\u2019s new iPhone Duo features? Let us know in the comments.<\/p>\n
