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

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.
