The Secret Engineering Behind Apple’s iPhone Duo

from Phonegram News

Apple didn’t design its first foldable to copy Android—they literally engineered it after a pocket paper notebook. Apple’s design team just revealed the secrets behind the iPhone Duo, and it redefines the entire category. Instead of an awkward, boxy inner screen, Apple used international standard paper proportions. Whether it's folded in your pocket or opened wide, your apps never look stretched or squished. Then look at the hinge. Apple created a custom variable torque mechanism. It opens effortlessly, then stiffens to lock completely flat with zero wobble or mechanical creak. Inside, the software seamlessly blends iPhone familiarity with Mac-grade multitasking. Pre-orders start October 16th at two thousand dollars. Apple took their time entering the foldable game, and they might have just rewritten the rules.
