- Apple's new VP of Hardware Engineering discussed iPhone Duo durability, hinge, and crease details, saying "a lot of blood, sweat, and tears went into that" and asking users to "hold us accountable" for hinge reliability.
- Apple separately listed AppleCare fees for the iPhone Duo, previewing service costs for the new foldable form factor.
Why it matters: The VP's direct request to "hold us accountable" on hinge durability signals Apple treats the Duo's hinge as a known point of public scrutiny, while the AppleCare fee listing gives prospective owners their first concrete look at the after-purchase costs of the new form factor.
