Key Points:
- Apple has launched its first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, which features IP68 dust and water resistance, addressing a durability concern common in foldable devices.
- The IP68 rating on the iPhone Duo, like on Google’s Pixel foldables, is not permanent and may diminish over time due to normal wear, repair, or damage.
- Google and Honor also include disclaimers about the temporary nature of water and dust resistance on their foldable phones, whereas some brands like Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro do not mention this limitation.
- Samsung’s latest Galaxy foldables have a lower dust and water resistance rating of IP48, making Apple’s iPhone Duo one of the more durable foldables currently available.
- The iPhone Duo is set for release in October, marking Apple’s entry into the foldable smartphone market with a competitive and durable offering.
