No, No, No-Don't Peel the Nano-Texture Layer off the iPhone Duo's Inner Screen
Gizmodo • • general
Key Points:
- Apple will charge $19 to replace the nano-texture cover layer on the inner screen of the new $2,000 iPhone Duo, which is more affordable than replacing the entire display if only the surface is damaged.
- The nano-texture cover can be professionally replaced by Apple to reduce creases or remove damage, but users are strongly advised not to attempt removing it themselves.
- Removing the nano-texture layer at home risks damaging the display, reducing screen durability, and potentially interfering with upcoming Apple Pencil support.
- Despite some users preferring a glossy display for better contrast, the nano-texture layer is essential for protecting the screen and minimizing crease visibility.
- This warning echoes past incidents like the Samsung Galaxy Fold, where users peeling off protective films caused screen damage, leading manufacturers to include explicit warnings against DIY removal.
