JerryRigEverything, a YouTube channel renowned for subjecting phones to rigorous stress tests, has evaluated Apple's inaugural foldable device, the iPhone Duo. The assessment encompassed a range of rigorous experiments, including scratching the surface with a scalpel, igniting it with a lighter, coating it with dirt, and bending it improperly to gauge the strength of its hinge mechanism.
Despite exhibiting resilience in certain areas, the iPhone Duo demonstrated vulnerability in others. For instance, superficial scratches on its display seemed to spontaneously rectify themselves. However, upon introducing sand and dirt, some particles infiltrated the Duo's hinge mechanism, raising red flags.
The most strenuous test, however, proved most telling. The phone was subjected to immense bending until its screen shattered, leaving the Duo largely inoperable. While it's worth noting that these tests are far more extreme than typical usage, the iPhone Duo appeared comparatively weaker when compared to other foldable phones. The takeaway is unequivocal: avoid bending, scratching, or burning this device.
