Apple iPhone Duo struggles in extreme bend test by JerryRigEverything

YouTube channel JerryRigEverything, known for rigorous phone durability tests, evaluated Apple’s first foldable iPhone Duo. The testing sequence included scratching the display with a scalpel, exposing the device to flame, coating it with sand and dirt, and applying force to the hinge.

The phone’s display showed resistance to minor scratches, but sand particles were observed entering the hinge mechanism during the dirt test. The most severe test involved bending the device until the screen fractured, rendering it largely unusable.

While the tests exceed typical consumer usage, the results suggest the iPhone Duo is less robust than some competing foldable smartphones.
