  "account": "Our team evaluated Apple’s new $1,999 iPhone Duo, focusing on its crease after an extensive 139,000 folding cycles. The crease, typically more visible with prolonged use, remained largely unchanged during our test. Despite its visibility when the screen is off and the phone is idle, the crease is reduced in prominence when the display is active, thanks to Apple’s nano-texture matte finish. This texture, while effective at masking the crease, can be removed by users. However, Apple provides a service to restore it for $19 with AppleCare and $49 without. Our tests will persist until the iPhone Duo cannot fold further. You can observe the device's condition in our machine updates on CNET’s YouTube channel daily.",
