iPhone Duo
Run your service business on the iPhone Duo
Business Manager 4Home Pros is built with Apple's iOS 27.1 SDK, so it fills the iPhone Duo's inner screen[1]. Folded, the cover screen is the regular phone app: today's route, Done, who owes you. Unfolded, the wide layout puts the map and a customer's card side by side.
Folded
The cover screen is the phone you know
Closed, the Duo's cover screen shows the regular phone layout. Every tab works, in the same place as on any iPhone.
That is the screen for the route: open the next stop, tap Done and the visit is billed, call or text the customer, skip a stop for rain and pick the reason.
The Today's route widget, the Control Center button and Siri work here too: "Who owes me in Business Manager".
Unfolded
The map and the card, side by side
Open the Duo and Business Manager uses the whole inner screen. From 640 points wide, screens switch to a wide layout:
- Map: a job site's card opens as a panel on the right, so the map and the pins stay in view.
- Selecting stops: lasso stops on the map, and the selection tray sits beside the map instead of over it.
- Crew Day: a crew member's day shows two panes side by side.
- Profit: two crew cards per row.
- Forms and sheets keep a readable width instead of stretching across the screen.
On the inner screen
What it looks like unfolded
Screenshots from the iPhone Duo simulator, inner screen, with a made-up demo business.
AI on the big screen
Ask it, then read the whole answer
Ask Business Manager is the AI card at the top of Customers. Tap the mic and talk, or type: "Who owes me money?", "What notes did the crew leave today?", "How is business this month?"
On the inner screen the answer has room: every row, the drafted messages, and follow-up questions in one view. It answers in English or Spanish. It drafts; you send.
The free plan includes 5 AI actions; Pro has no limit. For a bigger job, open it in Claude with the AI connector.
Why a foldable fits this work
A phone on the route, an office in the truck
Route work is done one-handed, stop by stop. The cover screen is enough for that.
Between stops you plan: which houses are still due, who owes you, where the crew is, what tomorrow looks like. That is map-and-list work, and it is where the inner screen pays off.
Your crew don't need a Duo. They use any iPhone, any Android phone or the web, and they never see prices, balances or payments.
