I can’t get enough of the iPhone Duo’s matte inner display

The iPhone Duo, a first-generation foldable device from Apple, has a notable matte finish on its inner screen. While the design choices may not be perfect, the matte finish stands out as a significant improvement. During a week of usage, the matte screen proved its worth for various activities like watching movies, viewing photos, and reading.

The Duo's outer screen, with its richer blacks and colors, provides a pleasant transition when switching between screens. The matte finish effectively reduces glare from external light sources, making it an ideal choice for outdoor use.

While the matte screen may slightly obscure detail in dark scenes, the overall viewing experience is more comfortable.
