Apple’s iPhone Duo is out and we want to see how durable it is. So we built a robot to fold it 20,000+ times a day to test its limits. How long do you think it will last? 100,000 folds? 200,000 folds? 500,000 folds? Tune in and watch the testing live. We’ll have CNET’s editors online to answer any of your questions.

@edikaramuratful pertinent to note that, when compared to the actual number of Duos sold, the number of users reporting issues is quite small.

A lot of them are probably faking it to get views and attention since that’s what seems to be popular right now. Some people’s bias against Apple is so strong that they will refuse to accept any reality that doesn’t affirm their pre conceived notions

The folds are really slow you should increase the speed like normal humans would fold it
