Apple’s iPhone Duo leaves Samsung foldables in the dust — and that’s a big problem (literally)
Leaving a non-dust-resistant foldable in the dust is just asking for a bad time.
Apple has unveiled its inaugural foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, boasting an IP68 ingress rating. This rating surpasses the protection provided by devices from Google and HONOR, while falling short of Samsung's IP48 rating. Consequently, Samsung's foldables lag behind when it comes to safeguarding against dirt and dust.
Foldable phones have been a part of the market for years, but they've never experienced such a high-profile launch as the debut of the iPhone Duo by Apple. Despite being a newcomer to the foldable market, Apple is already making a strong impression with features that outshine some of its key Android competitors. Throughout the years, manufacturers have been continually enhancing the durability of foldable phones, transitioning from fragile and finicky designs to something more reliable, akin to regular non-foldable models.
However, there has been one area where they have consistently fallen short: resistance to dirt and water.
