The code is not new, though. A code sleuth who goes by pdfu first spotted it in September, inside the iPhone Duo simulator. Federico Viticci of MacStories has said he plans to start \"brainstorming hinge automations.\"\n\nThe trigger is small, but it fits a pattern. Shortcuts already lets people run actions when they plug in a charger, arrive somewhere or open an app. Those are all changes the phone notices on its own, with no tap required. Opening or closing a hinge is a physical version of the same idea: a gesture that happens many times a day and currently does nothing beyond changing the screen.\n\nThe placement is the more telling detail. Filing the trigger under Display suggests the fold is treated as a change in the screen's state, not as a separate feature with its own rules. That keeps it simple for users, who will find it next to other display-related options.\n\nThe early material does not describe what actions people have actually paired with it, or any limits on what it can do. The open question is whether it runs silently, as a charger trigger can, or asks for a confirmation each time. A trigger that fires dozens of times a day only earns its place if it stays out of the way.","[\"iphone-duo\",\"shortcuts\",\"automation\",\"apple\"]","2026-10-25T22:26:58.000Z","2026-10-25T23:11:25.498Z","2026-11-08T00:02:08.283Z","published","The 'iPhone Duo' name is still stated as established fact with no attribution, so say plainly that MacRumors reports the trigger on the iPhone Duo (or verify the product); also cut the partial-source admission ('The early material does not describe...'), the unsupported inference that the Display placement is 'telling' about how Apple treats the fold, and the claim that opening a hinge 'currently does nothing beyond changing the screen', then end on a firm, fact-based closing sentence.",[24,30,34,38],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"Confirm that the 'iPhone Duo' is a real, announced Apple product (the only support is one MacRumors item, and the name matches Microsoft's Surface Duo), and correct the name or drop the piece if it can't be verified; also cut the closing 'The source does not say...' line, which reads as a partial-source admission, and remove unsupported claims about what Shortcuts triggers were 'until now' and what the trigger 'suggests' about Apple's intentions.","open",{"id":31,"reviewer":26,"round":32,"reason":33,"status":29},"editor-r2",2,"The 'iPhone Duo' name is still unverified beyond one MacRumors item, so confirm it or attribute it explicitly to MacRumors' reporting, then cut the new 'details come from a YouTuber, a code-spotter... no Apple documentation' caveat paragraph (it reads as a partial-source admission), drop the unsupported inference that the trigger 'was visible before most people had the hardware', and give the piece a firmer, reader-facing closing instead of speculation about who will use it.",{"id":35,"reviewer":26,"round":36,"reason":37,"status":29},"editor-r3",3,"The 'iPhone Duo' name is still not attributed to MacRumors (the line 'The device name is the one used in the coverage this story draws on' is a vague, process-note-style hedge), so say plainly that MacRumors reports the trigger exists on the iPhone Duo or verify the product; also cut the unsupported claim that Shortcuts power users 'build elaborate setups for a living and are already paying attention' (the source only says Viticci plans to brainstorm hinge automations), and tighten the closing s",{"id":39,"reviewer":26,"round":40,"reason":22,"status":29},"editor-r4",4,null,"consumer-tech",[44,45,46,47],"iphone-duo","shortcuts","automation","apple",[49],{"name":50,"url":51},"MacRumors","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.macrumors.com\u002F2026\u002F10\u002F25\u002Fiphone-duo-automation-opened-or-closed\u002F",0,{"sections":54},[55,60,65,70,75,79,84,89,94,99,104,109,114,119],{"name":56,"slug":57,"count":58,"latest_published_at":59},"AI","ai",7110,"2026-11-08T14:34:09.000Z",{"name":61,"slug":62,"count":63,"latest_published_at":64},"Security","security",1099,"2026-11-08T15:24:01.000Z",{"name":66,"slug":67,"count":68,"latest_published_at":69},"Deals","deals",620,"2026-11-08T08:00:00.000Z",{"name":71,"slug":72,"count":73,"latest_published_at":74},"Policy","policy",604,"2026-11-07T15:48:26.000Z",{"name":76,"slug":42,"count":77,"latest_published_at":78},"Consumer Tech",336,"2026-11-08T21:00:00.000Z",{"name":80,"slug":81,"count":82,"latest_published_at":83},"Hardware","hardware",316,"2026-11-08T14:36:39.000Z",{"name":85,"slug":86,"count":87,"latest_published_at":88},"Science","science",222,"2026-11-07T16:19:17.000Z",{"name":90,"slug":91,"count":92,"latest_published_at":93},"Software","software",154,"2026-11-08T15:42:52.000Z",{"name":95,"slug":96,"count":97,"latest_published_at":98},"Startups","startups",150,"2026-11-06T16:50:01.000Z",{"name":100,"slug":101,"count":102,"latest_published_at":103},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",125,"2026-11-06T22:15:59.000Z",{"name":105,"slug":106,"count":107,"latest_published_at":108},"General","general",111,"2026-11-08T21:27:29.000Z",{"name":110,"slug":111,"count":112,"latest_published_at":113},"Gaming","gaming",94,"2026-11-08T20:52:05.000Z",{"name":115,"slug":116,"count":117,"latest_published_at":118},"Reviews","reviews",38,"2026-10-20T12:00:00.000Z",{"name":120,"slug":121,"count":122,"latest_published_at":123},"How-To","how-to",8,"2026-10-05T09:00:00.000Z"]
