In a WIRED interview, Apple's John Ternus, Johny Srouji and Greg Joswiak discussed the company's decision to add touch input to the newly announced 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro with OLED XDR displays. Ternus said touch is meant to supplement, not replace, the trackpad and keyboard, while Srouji said advances in custom silicon and thermal design allowed Apple to add touch without making the laptop heavier or thicker.
Apple's chief hardware officer Johny Srouji said the company uses AI algorithms during manufacturing to match each hinge to its housing and to 3D-print micro layers that smooth out imperfections in the foldable iPhone Duo. Despite this process, a number of the $2,000-plus device's inner screens are reportedly cracking near the hinge, with early assessments pointing to the hinge design as the likely cause.
Apple unveiled its first foldable phone, called the Duo, revealing that its hinge mechanism was engineered using AI algorithms to match each hinge to its housing for precise alignment. The company also used confocal laser scanning and 3D-printed micro layers of photopolymer to smooth out surface irregularities, according to chief hardware officer Johny Srouji.
Apple has unveiled the Duo, its first foldable iPhone, arriving over seven years after Samsung's original Galaxy Fold. Preorders begin October 16th with sales starting October 23rd, priced from $1,999 for 256GB, with eSIM-only support worldwide and options up to 2TB storage. The device features a 5.4-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch inner screen, both using ProMotion technology and a titanium frame reinforced with ceramic fibers.
