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.
Join us weekdays from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM PT / 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM ET

But, no lint or particles ever enter the hinge in this clinical setting. I understand the results here are still useful, but, just saying.
