Virtual machines, with Duo toolbars and a keyboard and touchpad deck below the screen
Does UTM work on iPhone Duo?
Yes, in UTM 5.0.8 (October 16): folded like a laptop, the bottom half becomes a keyboard or touchpad for your VM. The maintainer's merged pull request said no person had tried it yet.
- Developer claimedUTM's maintainer, osy, in merged GitHub pull request 7911, which adds iPhone Duo layouts and reports automated simulator checks but says no person has tried them yet. These changes are in UTM 5.0.8 (released October 16, 2026), whose release notes say "Fold your iPhone Duo like a laptop, and the bottom half becomes a keyboard or touchpad for your VM." The App Store's UTM SE 5.0.8 (released October 21, 2026) has the same line.

About UTM
UTM runs virtual machines and emulates other computers. Its Duo work, now merged, puts the guest’s screen above the fold with a keyboard or touchpad below, plus Duo toolbars. It is in UTM 5.0.8, released on GitHub on October 16, 2026, whose release notes name iPhone Duo. UTM SE on the App Store is a separate version; its 5.0.8, released October 21, has the same note.
