Apple VP discusses iPhone Duo durability, crease and hinge

Tom Marieb, Apple's new vice president of hardware engineering, told TechRadar about the durability of the foldable iPhone Duo: a matte nanotexture coating hides the crease, and the hinge is tuned to feel like a premium car door. He also called Ceramic Shield 2 sufficient protection without third-party films.

• Matte nanotexture coating chosen to minimize visible display crease
• Hinge has a special force profile so it does not feel flimsy when half-open
• Ceramic Shield 2 makes third-party protective films unnecessary, Marieb said
• iPhone Duo launches next month
