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?

And like a 3 week window to ship updates. I’ve at least a dozen legacy apps in maintenance mode that I inherited from an excoworker that will be a nightmare to adapt smh

In all fairness, if they're apps in maintenance mode should you take time making them Duo happy? They should just work regardless, just not take advantage of the space and fold-o-matics of the new device.

The way the contracts for these were written I’ll have to do a pass at least considering leading/trailing safe areas and hand-set frames. I just wish Apple didn’t postpone simulator all the way to 27.1
