Compact transforms your iPhone Duo into a compact mirror. A RING OF LIGHT The edge of the screen lights your face. Choose daylight, office or evening light. IN FRAME AS YOU MOVE On an iPhone whose front camera has Center Stage, it keeps your face in the picture, so the mirror stays on you. STANDS ON ITS OWN Fold iPhone Duo halfway and set it down. One half is the mirror and the other is a second mirror that magnifies 2.5×, as a compact has two: one plain glass and one that magnifies. Drag its picture to look anywhere else. Both hands are free, and the controls are a tap away. ONLY A MIRROR Compact uses the front camera as your mirror. Nothing is recorded or saved. Compact needs iOS 27. It is made for iPhone Duo; on an iPhone that doesn't fold, the screen splits in half, the mirror in one and the second mirror in the other, with the light between them.
