Fold-A-Phone FAQ: Why Aren’t We Randomizing The Folds?
Although we would love to account for every possible use case, doing so along these lines would have drastically increased the development time and complexity of the project for very little measurable gain. Perhaps we can explore more varied interaction methods if/when the Fold-a-Phone 2 test is on our development docket. Host: CNET Labs Director,…

I’m not really worried about modern foldables breaking from just by folding and unfolding since it was never an issue. I’m more concerned about drops damaging the hinge, the screen cracking when unfolding it in the cold, and dust getting inside causing dead pixels on display.

@wrewrwr1 have you watched teardowns?cases exist with hinge protection.

I am not concerning the folding. I am concerning the folding machine.

They’re meant to befall that dude as long as they don’t get a crease the screen should be okay the problem is dropping it one time
@itsacookie1
October 29, 2026 at 2:53 pm
I do wonder if the cracking displays are a batch defect or are people doing something weird when opening and closing? If it were a design defect surely this would also break?
You can never plan for user error.

It is probably a lot of people’s first to me using a folding phone and probably press down REALLY hard on the inside which is always a big no no

Why the obvious bias? You literally abused the Galaxy Fold 1 with high-speed aggressive folding, but for Apple’s iPhone Duo, you’re folding it like it’s made of fragile porcelain.😂😂😂😂😂😂

Now angle it how someone would actually open their phone instead of flat, and watch that hinge fall to pieces

Glad you’re doing this sort of test. I bet Apple never bothered with it as part of their R&D.

waste of time. Its even pressure in a lab. Not the real world with dust and uneven pressure to open it.
