Apple's hardware engineering VP Tom Marieb discussed the upcoming iPhone Duo with TechRadar, expressing concern over the crease on the device. The iPhone Duo uses a matte nano-texture display to reduce glare and minimize the visibility of the crease. Marieb emphasized that the company should be held accountable for the crease visibility, stating, "Hold us accountable to that, please."
Marieb praised the matte finish, noting that it not only creates a beautiful aesthetic but is also more forgiving of changes in the hinge over time. He highlighted the importance of a durable hinge, describing the design team's efforts to achieve a solid, high-end feel similar to that of a car door. The hinge allows for various modes of use, including partially folded seated and standing positions, as well as fully open and closed.
The development of the iPhone Duo's hinge design was described as a significant undertaking, involving "a lot of blood, sweat, and tears." Marieb also touched on other topics, including his dislike for screen protectors and his thoughts on Ceramic Shield 2. The iPhone Duo is set to go on pre-order on October 16 and will be available for purchase starting October 23, with pricing beginning at $1,999.
