Apple Frames and Frames CLI Updated with iPad mini (A20 Pro), Apple Watch Ultra 4 Support→

Following this week’s update to my Apple Frames shortcut and Frames CLI with support for the iPhone Duo and 18 Pro, I’ve prepared another small update for more device bezels Apple released a couple of days ago: the Apple Watch Ultra 4 and the new iPad mini (which John reviewed earlier this week on MacStories).

If you’re using the Frames CLI, you can update to version 1.7.0 from the GitHub repo or ask your agent to do it for you. If you’re a Shortcuts user, you can get the latest version of Apple Frames (4.2.0) below or from the MacStories Shortcuts Archive. In either case, you’ll have to download an updated asset pack with the new bezels, which will automatically replace the older one.

As a general recommendation for Shortcuts users, before trying to run the shortcut from the Home Screen or Siri, you’ll want to run it manually at least once so you can grant the initial set of permissions.

Apple Frames

Add device frames to screenshots for iPhones (8/SE, 12-13, 15, 16, and 17 generations in mini/standard/Plus/Pro/Pro Max sizes, plus iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max), iPhone Air, iPhone Duo (inner and outer displays), iPad Pro (11” and 12.9”/13”, 2018-2025 models), iPad Air, iPad mini (including A20 Pro), iPad, Apple Watch Series 7/10/11 (Series 12 screenshots use the Series 11 frames), Apple Watch Ultra 2, Ultra 3, and Ultra 4, iMac M4, Studio Display, Studio Display XDR, MacBook Air (2020/M5 13”/M5 15”), MacBook Pro (13”/M5 14”/M5 16”), MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display (14” and 16”), and MacBook Neo. Apple Frames 4 supports colored device frames for iPhones 16 and 17, iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone Air, iPhone Duo, iPad mini (A20 Pro), MacBook Pro M5, MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display, MacBook Air M5, MacBook Neo, iMac M4, Studio Display, Studio Display XDR, Apple Watch Ultra, and Apple Watch Series 11.

Frames CLI 1.5.0, Now with iPhone 18 Pro and (Experimental) iPhone Duo Support

The updated Frames CLI also supports proportional scaling for iPhone Duo.

The updated Frames CLI also supports proportional scaling for iPhone Duo.

The Frames CLI – the companion command line interface to my Apple Frames shortcut I released earlier this year – received a 1.5.0 update earlier today with two notable additions: iPhone 18 Pro frames, and experimental support for iPhone Duo screenshots in all poses.

As always, my shortcut and CLI are based on Apple’s official product bezels, which is why, as of today, there is no support for Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 yet (those frames haven’t been published by Apple). iPhone 18 Pro is the new default frame family for the two Pro and Pro Max screen sizes, and the CLI supports all the new device colors this year (Burgundy, Glacier, Silver, and Black).

iPhone Duo support is experimental. I obviously don’t have an iPhone Duo yet, but thanks to Opus 5.5, I was able to grab screenshots from the Xcode 27.1 Device Hub, verify them against Apple’s official assets, and test everything in the Frames CLI. It should work! The CLI – and, thanks to its skill, your agent of choice – supports framing screenshots taken on the inner and outer display, different poses, different rotation settings, as well as screen recordings.

If you’re a developer working on iPhone Duo apps, I think the updated Frames CLI should come in handy to automate the process of framing multiple screenshots and screen recordings. As before, you can take advantage of CLI features such as proportional scaling, merge mode, and batch mode, which should help you with your upcoming App Store submissions for the iPhone Duo.

The Frames CLI is free and open source, works with any agent, and is highly customizable. I’ll release an updated version of the Apple Frames shortcut once I can get my hands on an actual iPhone Duo next month (hopefully). Fingers crossed.
