Apple’s first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, appears to make its screen crease far less noticeable through a matte nano-texture coating that reduces reflections. However, early hands-on impressions cannot show whether this improvement will last, so the phone’s long-term durability remains uncertain.

Foldable screens naturally develop creases through repeated folding, and existing models can become more visibly marked or damaged over time. Apple executives claim the iPhone Duo will be more durable than rivals, but meaningful evidence will only emerge after months of widespread consumer use and durability testing; still, its initially subtle crease is a promising development.
