- App Store confirmedThe App Store description, by Lotus Apps, has a "Made for iPhone Duo" section, and the Flipcorder site (flipcorder.app) shows the inner viewfinder and the cover facing the person being filmed. Version 1.0.1 came out on October 23, 2026.

Open it to switch it on
Opening the phone powers the camcorder on, and the viewfinder warms up like an old TV with the tape and record keys beside it. Closing it saves your clip before it powers down.
- Closed · Outer display
The subject sees themselves
Fully open, the outside screen shows the person you are filming in the same retro look, with a red REC light so they know when to wave.
About Flipcorder: Retro Camcorder
Flipcorder records your day as short 20-second clips onto a dated tape, then plays it back at night like an old home video, in a VHS or MiniDV look. On the Duo the fold is the power switch.
