iFixit’s look inside the iPhone Duo may explain those broken screens and hinges
As is tradition, iFixit has torn open the latest iPhone and laid its parts bare on a table. It found some interesting details about how Apple might be hiding the crease on the Duo’s folding screen and gave it a 5/10 repairability score.
AI Summary
iFixit opened the new iPhone Duo and gave it a 5‑out‑of‑10 repairability rating, the highest the site has assigned to any foldable device. The teardown revealed a matte nano‑textured cover on the internal screen that both improves readability in bright light and diffuses reflections to hide the central crease. Under a microscope, investigators saw oval‑shaped subpixels set at multiple angles, which they say are intended to cut visual artifacts and further conceal the fold line. These design choices suggest Apple is prioritizing a cleaner appearance for the folding display.
