Apple is selling a $19 fix for iPhone Duo creasing

Macworld Apple has done as much as it can to minimize the visibility of the crease on the iPhone Duo, including multiple shifting display layers and a matte nano-texture surface that reduces glare and makes the crease less visible. But physics is what it is, and you just can’t fold and unfold a display thousands of times without any visible crease forming. The good news is, Apple has another solution to help mitigate that: a replaceable outer layer. Speaking to @angietutorials on TikTok, Apple’s VP of hardware engineering, Kate Bergeron said, “the matte layer does a really nice job of, I’ll say minimizing the crease, but there’s a cover layer on top and we’ve done a significant amount of engineering work to help that wear in as long a manner as we can, to make sure you get the most out of that layer’s performance. It’s actually replaceable, which is a really nice thing for the customer, that you can peel off that layer and get a new one.”
