Why your iPhone Duo will inevitably develop a screen crease

Images from the hands-on sessions reveal a visible crease on Apple's new iPhone Duo, despite Apple's claims of eliminating this common issue. The crease is most noticeable when the device is held at certain angles and in different lighting conditions. Apple has integrated a nano-texture layer onto the display, which has helped to reduce the visibility of the crease, but the problem remains.

The company's product page assures customers that the display features a "wonderfully flat and smooth inner display" with "custom nano-texture finish technology" to minimize glare and reflections. Despite these improvements, the crease still appears as a "clear vertical dip" running through the center of the 7.6-inch screen. Apple acknowledges that eradicating the crease entirely is nearly impossible, especially considering the constant folding and unfolding that foldable devices undergo.

Users have mixed reactions to the crease, with some reporting that it becomes less noticeable over time, while others dismiss it as a non-issue. Apple's entry into the foldable market comes seven years after Samsung's initial Galaxy Fold release, and while the iPhone Duo looks impressive, it still has room for improvement.
