A Magic 8-Ball for the fold: close the Duo on a question, open it to see the answer
Does AskZine work on iPhone Duo?
Yes, from launch day, and seen in a simulator recording: closed, the cover asks you to think of a question; open the phone and the answer appears, staying until you ask anew.
- Simulator verifiedCheng Song (JonySong), the developer, in a submission to FoldHunt on October 23, 2026. The App Store seller is 程 宋. AskZine came out on October 15, 2026; the release notes for version 1.0.2 (released October 22, 2026) say it was built for iPhone Duo from day one, and the description explains the reveal as the screen unfolds. The website has an edited recording from the iPhone Duo simulator.
Adapted for the fold
- Closed · Outer display
Think of a question
Closed, the cover asks you to think of a question in silence and to open the phone when you're ready. There's nothing to type or say.
- Book · Partly folded
The answer arrives as you unfold
Unfold the phone and the answer appears gradually, following the hinge angle, so stopping partway pauses the reveal.
- Open · Inner display
The whole answer, open
Fully open, the complete answer rests on a soft green page. Close and reopen the phone and the same answer is still there until you tap New question.
About AskZine
AskZine is a small answer app for moments of indecision, in the spirit of a Magic 8-Ball. You keep a question to yourself, then reveal one of 80 original answers stored on the phone, picked at random and not matched to your question. There’s nothing to type or say, no recording, no account and no cloud AI, and it works offline. The answer stays until you choose New question, an optional private reveal keeps it hidden until you authenticate, and you can save it as a photo, video or Live Photo. It’s a one-time purchase of $1.99, and on other iPhones and iPads you tap to reveal.
AskZine was built around the iPhone Duo. Close the phone with a question in mind and open it when you’re ready: the answer appears as the screen unfolds, following the hinge, so pausing partway pauses the reveal. Fully open, the whole answer rests on a green page, and closing and reopening the phone keeps it there.

Watched the 3-second clip on the AskZine website, captioned as an edited iPhone Duo Simulator demonstration, and its two stills, in the simulator's device frame with the status ring: closed, the cover says Think of a question, with Open when you're ready below; the phone unfolds, and open, the answer Yes, with room to turn back appears a few letters at a time, with a New question button below.
Poses shown: Closed, Open. These are observations of the evidence, not a test of every interaction.
App version: Not recorded in this evidence. Environment: iPhone Duo simulator.
A short, edited clip: the screen stays dark while the phone opens, so whether the reveal follows the hinge partway can't be told. No app or Xcode version is given, and no build was tested.
