Apple Says iPhone Duo Has Replaceable 'Cover Layer' Above the Display
MacRumors • • general
Key Points:
- Apple's VP of hardware engineering, Kate Bergeron, revealed that the iPhone Duo's nano-texture cover layer above the inner display is replaceable, allowing customers to peel off and get a new one.
- Customers in the U.S. with AppleCare+ can have the cover layer replaced for $19, while replacement costs without coverage have not yet been announced.
- The cover layer is designed to conceal the crease in the foldable inner display, with extensive engineering to ensure durability, but replacement is available if wear or crease visibility increases over time.
- Replacement services will likely be limited to Apple Stores and Authorized Service Providers, and it is unclear if customers can remove the layer themselves.
- The iPhone Duo will be available for pre-order starting October 16, with in-store launch on October 23.
