Apple's iPhone Duo has failed JerryRigEverything's recent durability test. Despite boasting an IP68 dust-resistance rating, dust infiltrated the hinge through multiple entry points, overwhelming the magnets that secure the phone. Following the bend test, a lasting green line appeared across the inner display, rendering the screen unresponsive.
The outer screen, equipped with Ceramic Shield 2, endured a level 7 scratch on the Mohs scale, but the inner screen only managed a level 2 rating. Nevertheless, the matte nano-texture coating on the inner screen succeeded in concealing the marks. Regrettably, these results were insufficient to secure a passing grade. JerryRigEverything's Nelson, who has been testing folding phones since the inaugural generation seven years ago, remarked that the iPhone Duo did not make the cut.
