After day-one screen failures, the iPhone Duo is facing more durability questions
Apple's first foldable iPhone has encountered durability questions following rigorous testing by JerryRigEverything and iFixit. JerryRigEverything's durability test resulted in permanent green lines across the inner display after bending stress, eventually causing screen unresponsiveness. iFixit's teardown suggests failures may originate from stress concentrated near the hinge's central support, while both tests highlight risks from dust and debris accumulation. Despite relatively good repairability for a foldable device, inner screen replacement costs approximately $1,000.
Key points
- Inner display developed permanent green lines after bend test
- Failures linked to hinge stress and dust/debris vulnerability
- Inner screen replacement costs around $1,000
