Don't Peel Your iPhone Duo's Inner Screen!
2 Oct
Summary
- Removing iPhone Duo's nano-texture layer voids warranty.
- Inner screen layer replacement costs $19 by Apple.
- Peeling screen film mirrors past foldable phone disasters.
Users are strongly advised against removing the nano-texture layer on the iPhone Duo's inner screen. While Apple can professionally replace this protective layer for $19, attempting removal yourself could lead to significant damage. This action risks harming the actual display and pixels, potentially reducing the screen's durability with each fold.
This cautionary advice stems from past incidents with foldable phones, such as the original Samsung Galaxy Fold, where users who removed protective films inadvertently destroyed their screens. Apple's executive stated the layer is replaceable, but this refers to professional service, not DIY customer intervention.
Removing the layer might also interfere with future Apple Pencil support and its accuracy. The nano-texture film is integral to the iPhone Duo, protecting the display and minimizing crease visibility. Opting for a different foldable phone with a pre-existing glossy screen, like those from Samsung or Xiaomi, is recommended over altering the iPhone Duo's display.
