Apple’s new Vice President of Hardware Engineering, Tom Marieb, sat down with TechRadar for an interview all about iPhone Duo. Here’s what he said about iPhone Duo’s durability, the hinge, display crease, and more.
Apple put ‘blood, sweat, and tears’ into making iPhone Duo’s hinge durable and versatile, per interview
iPhone Duo will launch next month, bringing an all-new software experience to iPhone (see examples here) but also several hardware innovations.
Anyone interested in iPhone Duo may have questions about three key hardware features especially:
- durability
- the display crease (or lack thereof)
- and the hinge
Today Axel Metz at TechRadar published quotes from an interview with Tom Marieb, the Apple’s new Vice President of Hardware Engineering. That’s the same role current CEO John Ternus once held.
The full interview is well worth a read, but here were some highlights.
When asked about the crease in iPhone Duo’s folding display, Marieb pointed to nano-texture as a great solution that he said would continue to minimize a visible crease even after extended use.
On the subject of iPhone Duo’s hinge, he said:
Marieb also praised Ceramic Shield 2 as an incredible technology that makes third-party screen protectors unnecessary. He said, “Personally, when I see someone put a screen protector on their iPhone, it makes my skin crawl, because we work so hard to make beautiful front screens.”
