The article, shortened and in plain language
Apple's nano-texture screen might not hide the crease forever.
Apple's first foldable phone is coming soon, and it caused a stir upon its announcement earlier this month.
Historically, foldable phones have had an unpleasant flaw: the crease. With today's technology, it's nearly impossible to have a flexible display that folds without leaving any crease marks. Companies have gotten much better at this, and the creases have become less noticeable even though they're still there.
Apple took a clever approach to make the crease less visible. The iPhone Duo's screen has a matte coating on top, which reduces light reflection. Some people who have seen the iPhone Duo in person say the crease is barely noticeable.
Others say it's still visible and that it's only a matter of time before it gets worse.
Take the Galaxy Z Fold 8 as an example. Samsung ships its foldable phones unfolded in the box, and when you look at them for the first time, the screen looks super flat. Now imagine folding that screen thousands of times over the course of months or years.
Multiple Apple executives have publicly stated how proud they are of the iPhone Duo and how they believe the device will be much more durable than the competition.
The reviews that will roll in soon, ours included, can only speak to what the iPhone Duo looks like fresh out of the box.
