Glass thinner than a human hair: How the new iPhone bends but doesn’t break

The screens of foldable phones are a triumph of materials science and microengineering. — JASON HENRY/The New York Times

Apple on Sept 9 unveiled the iPhone Duo, its first foldable smartphone with a 7.6-inch glass screen that is capable of bending countless times without breaking.

The Duo is not the first foldable phone; Google, Samsung and Motorola have all released devices with displays that bend. But in his pitch for the Duo, Apple’s new CEO, John Ternus, said the company’s latest offering “will redesign the experience of using a foldable phone.”

Foldable iPhone Duo priced from RM9,499, available from Oct 23
