Worried about iPhone Duo screen cracking? Watch a robot fold one until it breaks
A phone-folding robot is being used to take the iPhone Duo to its breaking point, and you can watch it happen live.
Apple's new foldable iPhone Duo has many people curious about how much stress it can endure before breaking. CNET has set up a livestream from Monday to 5 p.m. ET to find out. A specially designed robot will fold the iPhone Duo repeatedly, aiming to see how many folds it takes before the screen buckles. As of early Monday, the robot had already completed 55,000 folds before the cameras began recording.
This experiment is not only for scientific purposes but also to provide background noise during what might be a challenging Monday. It's interesting to note that some early iPhone Duo owners have reported screen issues within days of its release. We'll find out if the folding robot can replicate any of those issues.
