iPhone Duo Forces a Software Makeover for Apps

Apple's iPhone Duo introduces a major software gate: apps must be recompiled for iOS 27 to support the Duo’s larger inner display, and iOS 27.1 is needed to use its new tab bar and UI components. That puts pressure on developers to update, while Apple avoids using a compatibility layer for resizable iPad binaries, potentially leaving some apps with black bars until updates arrive. Some speculate Apple could add an iPad-compatible mode in iOS 28, but for now the early ecosystem could be rocky, especially for mobile gaming where full-screen experiences matter, even as the Duo’s interface is praised for its thoughtful design.

Pokémon Go marks its 10th anniversary as a billion-download mobile game that merges GPS with AR to place virtual creatures in the real world.

Take-Two's Grand Vision: GTA 6 Marketing, AI, and the Quest for Entertainment Dominance

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick outlines a bold strategy around GTA 6 with a broad, modern marketing push, while stressing AI and new tech will enhance creativity rather than automate it. He notes the company’s mobile arm Zynga accounts for roughly half of revenue and plans 3–6 sizeable mobile releases annually, while rejecting Roblox-style platform plays or indie “small” titles. He emphasizes a long-tenured leadership team, a willingness to fail and learn, and an overarching goal to become the biggest entertainment company on Earth, a North Star he says is ambitious but pursued with discipline and a focus on building big, lasting hits.

Bethesda will permanently shut down The Elder Scrolls: Blades’ servers on June 30, 2026. The game has been delisted from the App Store, Google Play, and Nintendo Store.

Blades launched in 2020 for Android, iOS, and Nintendo Switch and never matched the success of Bethesda’s main titles; its Legends spinoff was shut down in 2019, leaving Castles as the remaining mobile Elder Scrolls option.
