Apple Confirms Replaceable Nano-Texture Layer on iPhone Duo Foldable DisplayPreviousNext

Apple has confirmed that the nano-texture cover layer on the inner display of its upcoming iPhone Duo foldable phone can be removed and replaced. This layer helps reduce the visibility of the crease in the foldable screen. Apple vice president Kate Bergeron highlighted the extensive engineering to ensure durability, but replacement will be available if the layer wears down. In the US, AppleCare customers can replace the layer for $19, with prices for others not yet disclosed. Pre-orders start October 16, with in-store availability from October 23.
