Apple's iPhone Duo Folding Display Has Replaceable Cover Layer
Apple VP Kate Bergeron says the iPhone Duo's folding screen cover can be peeled off and replaced, with AppleCare pricing it at $19.
Apple's iPhone Duo features a replaceable cover layer on its folding display, according to Kate Bergeron, Apple's VP of Hardware Engineering. The layer can be peeled off and swapped for a new one to restore the screen's original, day-one appearance.
Bergeron's comments position the design as a way to address crease wear over time. Rather than living with a worn folding display, owners can refresh the surface.
AppleCare lists a cover layer replacement for the iPhone Duo at $19. The cost of the same replacement without AppleCare coverage is not yet known.
Durability focus
The iPhone Duo was introduced last month. After the launch, Apple executives gave interviews explaining the company's efforts to maximize durability and minimize crease issues.
