Apple Exec Defends iPhone Duo's Crease and Hinge
Developing
In Short: Apple's Tom Marieb says the iPhone Duo's hinge design took time and effort, and the nano-texture display will minimize crease visibility.
Apple hardware engineering VP Tom Marieb defended the iPhone Duo's design during an interview with TechRadar, emphasizing the company's efforts to perfect the hinge and minimize the crease.
Marieb also discussed the use of a matte nano-texture display on the iPhone Duo, which he said would help reduce glare and make the crease less noticeable over time.
When asked about long-term visibility of the crease, Marieb encouraged users to hold Apple accountable, suggesting that the company is confident in its design and materials.

Apple has launched its first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, with a minimized crease and a starting price of $1,999, while also raising the prices of its existing iPhone models.
What's still developing
- This is well crafted, and it's safe for me to use and not worry about it.' Apple didn't want the hinge to be "floppy," so torque had to be perfected for different use cases. The hinge Apple came up with lets the iPhone Duo be used in partially folded seated and standing modes, as well as open and closed. Marieb said "a lot of blood, sweat, and tears" went into the hinge design.
- Apple wanted a durable hinge that felt solid to open and close.
