On October 27, 2026, Yuchen Jin proposed that foldable phones could unlock an entire category of agent-native applications. He believes that neither terminals nor IDEs are suitable interfaces for coding agents, whereas foldable phones like the iPhone Duo actually make sense, because people no longer write code by hand. What he really wants is not a mobile IDE, but a control plane for managing agent clusters: dispatching tasks, tracking progress, reviewing work, occasionally intervening, and even watching agents operate remote computers. At present, this judgment is only stated by him as the sole source, with no subsequent developments yet.
