We’re Folding the iPhone Duo Until It Breaks (ASMR)
Our custom-built Fold-A-Phone machine is folding the iPhone Duo constantly, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, up until either one breaks. Catch the livestream every Monday through Friday on CNET’s YouTube from 1pm to 5pm ET. #foldaphone #iphoneduo #torturetest #foldablephone #allthingsmobile Video Credits: Shot and edited by Faith Chihil Add CNET as a…

Why didn’t they do this for the other foldable lol

@tamarockstar09 because all other foldables until now now only reached a niche market

It sounds like they took six months to make the machine and this phone is the newest release

Isn’t this an impossible best case scenario since the forces are evenly applied and the phone is perfectly clean?

samsung makes the screen for apple

Okay and? You know like every phone part is made by random manufacturers for android phones.

Samsung makes screens for a lot of companies. Monitors, phones, tvs, refrigerators. They’re a conglomerate.

That makes sense since Samsung Display Manufacturers,Manufactures oleds and lcds, not to be confused with Samsung Electronics who make phones and other devices .

it sure is slow
@fixerdrew02
October 24, 2026 at 6:26 pm
Looks to be about 750,000 folds in 30 days +/-
I’ll bet the apparatus breaks way before then.

Why is the test screen also so beautiful
@rgen28
October 24, 2026 at 5:22 pm
It is not a real test. It should be done with human hands
@LucasFrawley-m2u

Why does it make a difference

Design.
@francisatta5590
October 24, 2026 at 7:14 pm
THIS is not realistic
There should be some breaks between the folding.
Continuous folding will generate heat which will eventually break it quickly

Keep us updated.
@L.LGodwill

An infra red camera, or a remote thermometer 18“ above the phone is needed, to measure the temperature at the folding line , if it exceed 0.25° F than the edges of the screen , I wil not concder the experiment perfect , because heat can increase the flexibility, That means we need a cool air directed to folding line , Or make the experiment %15 slower so the heat decimated, anyway this experiment must be done at 55° F room temperature or less, and the phone is off, I believe

That wire feels dangerous xd

Ive been seeing posts of failure at 4 folds.

Gosh, before it wears out, you’ll buy a new model anyway. So no point doing this testing.

You have to use the test machine used for the Fold 1. You need to match the conditions between identical first-generation foldable phones; you have to handle it carefully, like a baby, and the speed is slow.

This is stressful
@Superz3ro
October 25, 2026 at 2:42 pm
This is great for stress testing the hinge, however, ZERO human beings open or close a folding phone that way…
Logically neither side should actually break, the hinge maybe…
Pressure needs to be placed where human hands with fingers will repeatedly be positioned…
🤔
@marblesrx71
October 25, 2026 at 3:25 pm
feel like that .5mm wire used to open the phone changes the full closed force of the phone. Providing a small air gap when fully closed.
@mickobee
October 25, 2026 at 4:08 pm
Was thinking the exact same it might not seem much but it means it’s not a full like for like on any of their folds slightly alleviating pinch points

The problem is the screens die from tiny overbending

But its not fully closing

Whatever you have now is with indirect acknowledgment of technology if you directly acknowledge technology So someone is making competition with you and they have surpassed you to prevent you from being successful they would have to have more technology but technology proves that you are civilized So how are they in competition with you without currency being involved and how was someone in competition with someone who doesn’t have as much technology as them and the only way to be in competition is with technology So if you continue say technology you would gain the currency to be able to compete
