Apple's New iPhone Duo Breaks After 75,000 Folds in Real

Key Points:

• Real-life testing by YouTuber Kuba Klawiter showed the iPhone Duo's screen began to crack after 75,001 folds, with earlier signs of wear appearing around 60,000 folds.
• Other reviewers, including Joanna Stern and Tim Pan, tested the iPhone Duo's folding durability, with results ranging from over 3,000 to more than 32,000 folds, though none tested to failure due to device return policies.
• Samsung’s latest foldable phones are officially rated for 500,000 folds, significantly higher than the iPhone Duo's demonstrated durability in tests, though direct comparisons are complicated by differing test conditions.
• Klawiter’s testing included environmental stressors like dirt and cold temperatures, which may have contributed to the iPhone Duo's screen damage, suggesting durability could vary based on usage conditions.
• Apple has acknowledged a display issue affecting a small number of iPhone Duo units and advises affected users to contact AppleCare for replacements, but has not disclosed an official fold rating, prompting calls for greater transparency.
