Fold-A-Phone Day 4: We’re Over 117K Folds!
Another day, another few thousand folds… We’re folding Apple’s iPhone Duo over and over — 900 times an hour — to test the durability of its hinge. Watch the livestream every Monday through Friday at 1pm ET to 5pm ET (10am PT to 2pm PT) on YouTube where the CNET team will answer questions while…

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.

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

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
@Gouer
October 29, 2026 at 5:54 pm
Now take off and put on the table😂
@nestorsanchez1067
October 29, 2026 at 6:00 pm
This is not a good test because its only folding it one way
@Smoothsailing7
October 29, 2026 at 6:18 pm
Is the hinge hot yet??
@Ak2mc1
October 29, 2026 at 6:20 pm
I dare you to sprinkle a little dirt on it

Glad you’re doing this sort of test. I bet Apple never bothered with it as part of their R&D.
@DaveBartholomew-uf6sm
October 29, 2026 at 7:53 pm
Actually, I would bet they did this over and over again. They don’t take this stuff lightly.

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