Promises on the iPhone Duo Design

In a recent interview with TechRadar, Tom Marieb, Vice President of Hardware Engineering at Apple, discussed the features of the iPhone Duo, the brand's latest foldable screen model. One of the major innovations is the use of a screen with a matte nano-texture coating. This choice aims to reduce glare and minimize the visibility of the crease, a major concern for foldable smartphone users.

A Screen Designed for Durability

Marieb addressed the issue of the crease's durability over time, stating that the screen design should help maintain a neat appearance. He urged consumers to hold the brand accountable regarding the visibility of the crease over time. According to him, the choice of a matte finish is not only aesthetic but also functional: "It's not just beautiful for reducing glare, but it also makes topology differences less visible."

A Well-Designed Hinge

Another point on which Marieb expressed pride is the hinge of the iPhone Duo. He explained that the Apple team invested a lot of time and effort to design a robust and reliable hinge. The goal was to create a solid feel, similar to that of a high-end car door, when opening and closing the smartphone.

"We have worked intensely on the torque profile so that opening and closing are smooth and secure," he specified. This attention to detail is essential to ensure comfortable and durable use of the device in various positions, whether fully open, partially folded, or closed.

An Imminent Launch

The iPhone Duo will be available for pre-order starting October 16 and will officially launch on October 23. On this occasion, it will be interesting to observe the public's reaction to these innovations.

A Choice to Make: New or Refurbished

For those considering acquiring an iPhone, there are several options, including importing from China, whether for a new or refurbished model. Refurbished smartphones can offer excellent value for money while being less impactful on the environment.
