The fragility inherent in foldable hardware remains a persistent challenge for manufacturers, and Apple’s latest entry into the category appears no more resilient than its predecessors. Testing conducted by the channel JerryRigEverything demonstrates that the internal screen material lacks the durability required to withstand routine friction, showing significant damage under standard stress tests.
Dust and debris prove fatal for Apple’s new folding screen
A handful of common dirt is enough to permanently disable the iPhone Duo. While the device features a matte internal display prone to standard surface scratching, the true vulnerability lies within its hinge mechanism, which fails completely when exposed to fine particulate matter, preventing the phone from ever closing again.
Beyond screen scratches, the structural integrity of the hinge represents a critical point of failure. Once dust and grit infiltrate the mechanical assembly, the internal components seize, effectively rendering the folding function useless. This susceptibility suggests that despite sophisticated engineering, the device remains highly vulnerable to everyday environmental conditions that could lead to catastrophic hardware failure for the average user.
