IGN reports Toastie, a $3 iPhone Duo game, uses the Duo’s fold mechanic so players add ingredients and close the device to toast virtual grilled cheese. The article says the game includes 10 orders, 3 loaves, and 14 ingredients, and gives star ratings for recipe, plating, toasting, and preparation time. IGN noted the first batch of iPhone Duos are out in the wild and developers are exploring creative uses of the hinge; Toastie can also be played on iPhone and iPad without the close-to-toast mechanic. IGN referenced a tweet from Tom Szykulski calling the Duo the “world’s most expensive toaster,” and said the $3 price is less than an actual grilled cheese.

• What happened: IGN reported that Toastie is a $3 iPhone Duo app that turns the device into a grilled‑cheese maker by having players add ingredients and close the Duo to toast sandwiches.
• Why it matters: IGN said Toastie is an example of app developers experimenting with the iPhone Duo’s foldable design and hinge-based interactions.
• Context: IGN reported the first batch of iPhone Duos are in the wild; the article lists Toastie’s contents as 10 orders, 3 loaves, and 14 ingredients, and notes star ratings for recipe, plating, toasting, and preparation time, and cites a Tom Szykulski tweet describing the Duo as the “world’s most expensive toaster.”
• What next: IGN did not report any developer statements about future updates, platform expansion, or support for other foldable devices; wider availability or changes beyond iPhone and iPad play without the close mechanic are not confirmed.
