The right pronounciation in case of double consanant and ending with (ied/ies)

[Kolridg]

Good day,

Though I have used English for so long, I still can't define the next thing.

1) Are words with double consonant, for example like apple, attentive are really read by English being pronounced with only one [p] and [t] there?
2) Are endings ied/ies in words like fancied, babies should be pronounced only with one [ɪ] but not with double – [ɪɪ] or long – [ɪ:]. I guess it can be dobule or long [ɪ] because two [ɪ] are merged in these words: baby + es = ['beɪbɪ] + [ɪs]; fancy + ed = ['facnɪ] + [ɪd];

In dictionaries it is written with only one [ɪ]. But I'm interested to hear your views as natives.

Thanks.

1) Are you asking whether we pronounce the [p] and [t] twice? Of course not. Generally speaking, double consonant letters indicate the pronunciation of the preceding vowel and not the consonant sound itself.

2) Generally, yes, though there may be some deviation (for some speakers and for some words) towards a longer sound.
