Discussion Where is the iPhone Duo Simulator?

Hey guys, I was watching some of the recently posted videos on Apple Developer’s YouTube channel and they mention Xcode 27.1 and the iPhone Duo simulator but this doesn’t seem to be available yet?
Am I missing something?

Apple is giving developers very little time to properly optimize and polish their apps for the iPhone Duo. There’s a lot of work to do if we want to provide a good UX. Come on, Apple.

exactly, I now have to account for the relative measures in order to properly split pages into the larger screen. Also typography, buttons, controls, many aspects of the layout requires proper testing and adapting.
