iPhone Duo Fails JerryRigEverything's Dusty Durability Test
Key Points:
- Apple's iPhone Duo failed JerryRigEverything's durability test, with dust entering the hinge despite its IP68 dust-resistance rating.
- Dust ingress overwhelmed the magnets holding the phone shut, compromising its structural integrity.
- The bend test caused a permanent green line on the inner display, which then became unresponsive.
- The outer screen with Ceramic Shield 2 scratched at level 7 on the Mohs scale, but the inner screen only reached level 2, though its nano-texture coating helped marks disappear.
- Tester Zack Nelson noted that unlike most folding phones he has tested over seven years, the iPhone Duo did not survive the durability challenges.
