TLDW: 303,623 folds to the end of this live. Screen and hinge still fine.

x/12 = 25,302 folds a month! or x/365 = 831 folds a day / 24 = 14 folds a minute lol! I suspect Apples fold to failure is probably in the million fold range. Now working forward to compare to an expected lifetime. Lets assume 6 folds an hour or one every ten minutes.* 24 = 144 per day or 52,596 a year or 262,980 over a 5 year period or 525,960 over a decade. 7 years till vintage and keep for three years after that before finally upgrading. Assume a forced upgrade due to new cellular standard and previous genration being forecably deprecated by cell compaies. 526,000 would likely be the design threshold for the lifetime of the glass. You would likely have 4 battery changes during that time but since it is Vintage after seven years you only get three battery changes.
