We had a litlte power crash so had to restart our video encoder.
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.

Whats the diagonal mark on the screen, when the screen is both open and closed?

@thomaswhitney4340 Looks like the V shape background behind the cycle count.

@jamesmcknight803 7 years ago they stopped at 100,003 folds though.

Just how much has CNET’s tech regressed over the last eight years? That clapping machine was light-years ahead of what they have now.

this test doesnt recreates exact real life conditions of folding. Jerry Rig showed it already : in a pocket or a bag..the iphone isnt dust proof…and even a little grain of sand or dust can go inside, behind the hinge…and break the fkin screen. This “test” is just a fraud : the machine’s environment seems to be dust proof. Its not a real life condition test….

Bet the folding machine will break first…

삼성 갤럭시 폴드 1에 했던 그 기계는 왜 안 꺼내왔죠? 😂

@user-bluesky10820 我猜想這是為了尺寸，也是為了讓機器通用。(Im assuming it’s the size and to make the machine universal)

TLDW: 103,108 folds by the end of this video and screen and hinge still good.

usless test as it should include a slight overbend when opening the display to mimick human opening it with a little extra force the opposite direction

Are you testing at a speed 8 times slower than the Galaxy Fold 1, a 7-year-old model? That is a truly shocking comparison.

이 테스트 에서 당신이 보여주고자 하는 목적은 무엇인가요? 천천히 접으면 문제가 일어나지 않는다 이건 가요?

Corporate discrimination is identical to racism.
Don’t call it a test—call it an ad.
Don’t call it journalism—call it an advertising rag.

I think more than 200,000 times is already great, if i fold and unfold it like 50 times a day, it will last 4000 days before damage..from the live video it seems the crease is still good looking.. i like the test folding speed, this is like the speed of normal users folding and unfolding…
