iFixit teardown finds how the iPhone Duo’s screen may hide its crease, gives it a 5/10 repairability score

iFixit’s teardown found that the Duo’s matte nano-texture cover scatters reflections, which may help conceal the folding screen’s crease while improving readability in bright sunlight. The foldable earned a 5/10 repairability score, iFixit’s highest for a foldable so far; the supplied article excerpt ends before explaining the site’s findings about the display’s angled oval subpixels.

The crease-masking cover could matter to teams weighing screen visibility against foldable-display design, but the article excerpt does not establish how much it reduces the crease in practice. The 5/10 score is a relative repairability high, not evidence that repairs are easy, and the excerpt provides no detail on the specific repair obstacles.
