Fold-A-Phone FAQ: Why Aren’t We Randomizing The Folds?
Although we would love to account for every possible use case, doing so along these lines would have drastically increased the development time and complexity of the project for very little measurable gain. Perhaps we can explore more varied interaction methods if/when the Fold-a-Phone 2 test is on our development docket. Host: CNET Labs Director,…

I wonder how many years do we have to fold our iPhone Duo till we reached 124,704 folds
@theninjarush1163
October 29, 2026 at 6:16 pm
@RPGxGACHA 100 folds a day? 3.4 years.

Well, that’s going on. Drop a bit of sand in there and we’ll see how far it goes then.

Cnet’s iphone duo is currently at 125,000 folds and still going strong, so this seems to be an outlier.

Is the crease getting hot ?
@GreenEyes_MS

People tend to “over open” hinged devices which the hinge has to stop. Also, people might open by the corners. If the machine could replicate those forces, we might get a different result.

@GreenEyes_MS or or hear me out…it may not happen at all

yeah but by changing the test – we can no longer do an apple to apple comparison against Samsung! The Samsung folding test set the baseline. We know do NOT have a baseline comparison.
