iPhone Duo Display Wrinkles Near Hinge on Multiple Units as Apple Hides Foldable Crease

Summary
Video shared on Oct. 20 shows the iPhone Duo’s inner display depressing above the hinge and briefly wrinkling when pressed, with the surface smoothing out after the finger lifts.
Multiple Duo units reportedly behaved the same way in hands-on testing, suggesting the softness is a design trait rather than a one-off defect.
Apple appears to have traded a visible crease for a softer hinge zone on its first foldable iPhone, leaving durability around the fold as the main open question.
Ice Universe linked the behavior to rumored variable-thickness ultra-thin glass, a design Corning has said uses a thinner central strip for bendability and thicker outer sections for resilience.
Apple has not confirmed the display structure, though the inner screen protector is replaceable, which could limit repair impact if the wrinkling proves problematic over time.
