Durability Concerns Arise Over iPhone Duo Foldable Display and Hinge
The new iPhone Duo has faced durability concerns following tests and user reports. A JerryRigEverything video showed the foldable inner display scratching easily and developing damage during bending, with dust affecting the hinge. Users have also reported cracks near the hinge after minimal use, raising questions about the device's resilience. Apple is investigating these issues to determine if manufacturing defects are involved. Repair costs for screen damage may reach around $1,000, highlighting potential challenges for foldable smartphone durability.
