Apple has applied a replaceable protective layer to the folding display of its iPhone Duo, aiming to reduce the visibility of creases that can worsen over time. The company calls the part a “cover layer” and says it is focused on keeping the screen in first-day condition after long use. Apple has also listed cover-layer replacement under AppleCare, with a $19 fee for subscribers, while non-covered pricing has not been disclosed.

Apple is moving ahead with a broad overhaul centred on expanding product releases and slimming its organisation, a report said. CEO John Ternus (존 터너스) is pushing to launch more products more quickly and reduce reliance on traditional spring and autumn cycles. The company is also seeking to cut layers between engineers and senior executives, with job cuts and restructuring under way. Apple is also discussing ways to boost services revenue.
