Apple Confirms Replaceable Cover Layer for iPhone Duo’s Foldable Display

macrumors.com —

Apple has confirmed that the iPhone Duo's nano-texture cover layer above the inner display is replaceable, according to hardware engineering VP Kate Bergeron. This feature allows customers to peel off and swap the layer for a new one. The cover layer hides the crease in the foldable display, and AppleCare+ customers can get it replaced for $19, though the cost without coverage is undisclosed. Bergeron noted significant engineering work went into ensuring the layer's durability. Replacement will likely be limited to Apple Stores and authorized service providers, with self-replacement availability unclear. Pre-orders begin October 16, with the device launching October 23.
