Over time, the crease in the center of a flexible smartphone screen becomes more pronounced and noticeable than it was initially, and it’s unlikely that the new iPhone Duo will be able to avoid this problem. But senior Apple managers say the company has figured out how to make the impact less noticeable – smartphones have a replaceable protective layer.

In September, Apple released the iPhone Duo, and Apple executives said in interviews that the company deliberately sought to improve the device’s durability and minimize labeling issues common with other devices. To ensure that the iPhone Duo retains its original appearance for as long as possible, the manufacturer offers a unique design feature – a replaceable coating on the folding display.
“The matte finish of the display does a great job of minimizing creases. But there’s another layer on top of it and we did a lot of engineering work to make it last longer and make sure the coating was as effective as possible. Generally speaking, it’s replaceable and very convenient for the user – you can remove that layer and apply a new one.”“,” said Kate Bergeron, Apple’s vice president of hardware development.
This “coverage” is mentioned in the AppleCare estimated cost list for iPhone Duo; if you subscribe to AppleCare, the cost of replacing the case is $19. The cost of the service, which does not require a subscription, is unclear. The measure is intended to appease those who worry that the foldable iPhone Duo, which costs more than $2,000, will end up looking unsightly.
