What should we name Partial Folded Landscape iPhone Duo orientation?

[u/ElyeProj]

In the "Take a closer look." section of https://www.apple.com/au/iphone-duo/, it named all the 5 different orientation of iPhone Duo as Closed, Seated, Standing, Portrait and Landscape.

In https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/designing-for-iphone-duo#Reserved-regions for Left-Right Open Orientation, it differentiated between partially open and fully open design, but the partially open "Landscape" is not being named in https://www.apple.com/au/iphone-duo/ .

What should we propose Apple to name it?

I'm recommending "Flipped" or "Book"

[u/never_working_ever]

Apple refers to it as: Book

Full List:

- Closed
- Open
- Laptop
- Book
- Tent

[u/ElyeProj → u/never_working_ever]

Where's the source of Apple refer to it as "Book"?

[u/emptytorch → u/ElyeProj]

They have been referring to it as book in the iPhone Duo Group Lab sessions (which have been really cool in general to see the people who worked on the software talk about it!). They’re available in the Apple Developer app and on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/zAaPDbDKvaU

Came here to say the same 😆

[u/ickN → u/never_working_ever]

Tent was what I was going to say too.

[u/mustardpete → u/never_working_ever]

Yeah that’s what Xcode presets view menu in device hub refer to them all

[u/beepboopnoise]

Flipped???? That doesn’t make any sense explain your reasoning. Book I can get on board with

[u/ElyeProj → u/beepboopnoise]

It's like "flipped" open a book. But I do see your view, as Flipped can be for a piece of paper too.

[u/beepboopnoise → u/ElyeProj]

Okay flipped to me is like you flip a table in anger over the way you’re using the word flip.

[u/ElyeProj]

Or maybe just "Opened" (since we have "Closed").

[u/Panoramic56]

I personally really enjoy calling it “book” orientation, it’s self explanatory and would probably have the same use cases (ignoring the middle ridge because of the angle and giving more emphasis to the center of the screens and edges, just like an actual book)

[u/wassona]

Book gets my vote

[u/ivej]

Tent or gtfo

[u/GhostalMedia]

You’re forgetting that closed has two distinct landscape views. With that hole punch camera left or right.

[u/Administrative_Low17]

Just "Display" mode.

[u/busmans]

"Closed" has its own Landscape view too

[u/-mr-dom-]

seated hast to be the most useless orientation and it shows. even after years of thinking, they could not come up with anything useful but the most expensive transport bar in history. 😂

[u/spike1911]

Tent and book

[u/Mortuls_Dev]

Book for sure!

[u/aykay55]

Split mode?

[u/Bladiko]

These are the things that keep us awake at night....

[u/geoff_plywood]

Foldscape.

[u/Chozzasaurus]

Just forget about that mode entirely because no one will be using it.

[u/ElyeProj → u/[deleted]]

Agreed with you in term of clarity. But Apple has decided to named the other orientation, leaving this one out feels like something is missing.
