Apple iPhone Duo hands-on video highlights the foldable crease and raises durability questions
A new hands-on video of the Apple iPhone Duo in white has given viewers a closer look at one of the most important details of any foldable phone: the display crease. At first glance, the crease appears surprisingly subtle, especially when the screen is viewed straight on. For many users, this could make the iPhone Duo feel more polished and premium than expected for a foldable device.
However, the video also shows that the area above the hinge is not perfectly flat. When viewed from sharper angles, the crease becomes easier to notice, suggesting that Apple’s foldable display still has the same challenge seen on many folding smartphones. While the crease may not be distracting during everyday use, it is still present and could become more visible depending on lighting, viewing angle, and screen content.
The bigger concern is not just how the crease looks, but how the display feels. According to the video, the screen area above the hinge appears to be extremely soft. That raises an important question about long-term durability. Foldable phones are designed to open and close repeatedly, and the hinge area naturally experiences more stress than the rest of the screen. If the display feels soft from the start, users may wonder how it will hold up after several months of daily use.
This could be a key point for potential buyers. A barely visible crease is a strong first impression, but long-term performance matters even more. If the crease deepens over time or the soft hinge area becomes more noticeable, it could affect the overall user experience. For a premium device like the iPhone Duo, expectations will be especially high.
The white model shown in the video also gives the device a clean and minimal appearance, helping draw attention to the foldable screen itself. Apple fans interested in the company’s first foldable-style iPhone will likely be watching closely to see how the display performs in real-world conditions.
For now, the iPhone Duo appears to offer a refined foldable design with a crease that is not immediately obvious. Still, the softness around the hinge area may become one of the biggest talking points as more hands-on impressions and long-term usage details emerge.
