We’ve seen previews of iOS 27 running on the iPhone Duo, including a new StandBy mode that activates even when the iPhone isn’t charging. Apple has shown off the mode in press materials, but today leaker pdfu shared a more in-depth look at some of the options.
There are more StandBy faces available on the iPhone Duo, five of which we weren’t aware of.
A main camera view will show a single camera feed or a grid of up to nine camera feeds. There’s a Home Modular option that likely features smart home controls and a Snoopy-themed face.
Here’s an in-depth look at StandBy mode on the iPhone Duo. Rushmore, the app meant to house the redesigned faces, is missing from the iOS 27.1 simulator. But its location strings reveal unreported faces and I have some new faces running in the current renderer. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/lDQHOy5R0e

It also appears that Apple is adding a face called Flow that may have animations, and there’s a face called Fade with no details available. The faces we’ve seen in marketing materials include analog, digital, classic calendar, weather, photos, memories, shared albums, and modular.
A face editor will let users adjust the StandBy mode interface, choosing different styles and colors, similar to the iPhone’s existing StandBy customization screens. Swipe gestures are available for quick visual adjustments.
There are five widget layouts to choose from for clock faces that support widgets. Layouts include StandBy, Stacked, Top, Center, and Bottom.
The iPhone Duo will be available for pre-order on October 16 ahead of its October 23 launch, and we’ll likely see more details come out as we get closer to the release date.
