Apple Defends $2,000 iPhone Duo Crease Durability Ahead of October Launch

3 articles · Updated · TrustedReviews · Sep 21

Summary

  • Tom Marieb, Apple’s vice president of product integrity, said the iPhone Duo’s screen crease should not become more visible with use, telling reviewers to “hold us accountable” on long-term durability.
  • Apple says a matte display coating—rather than the glossy finish used on rival foldables—helps mask surface changes over time while also cutting glare.
  • The claim targets one of foldables’ biggest weak points, as creases on many devices often become easier to spot after repeated folding and daily wear.
  • The durability push is central to Apple’s first foldable, the iPhone Duo, which is due in October with a starting price of about £2,000, or $2,000.
