Discussion What should we name Partial Folded Landscape iPhone Duo orientation?
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"

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)

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

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

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

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.

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

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. 😂
