YouTuber Folds iPhone Duo 10,000 Times to Test its Limits [VIDEO]

Apple’s new iPhone Duo has captured massive consumer interest, with pre-orders selling out and enthusiastic buyers willing to endure months of wait times. But how does Apple’s debut foldable actually hold up under extreme real-world abuse?

To find out, tech reviewers have put the iPhone Duo through punishing trials, including rigorous mechanical folding tests, temperature extremes, and durability evaluations.

One of the biggest pain points for any foldable phone has always been the visible crease across the display. Out of the box, the iPhone Duo sets a high industry standard, utilizing a precision-engineered hinge mechanism and an advanced teardrop bending space that measures a mere 4.8 microns in height difference initially.  However, physics catches up with every device over time.

When put through automated folding machines for thousands of continuous cycles, the crease naturally deepens. Yet, structural integrity remains exceptionally high. Even after enduring 10,000 folds at room temperature, followed by additional stress testing at freezing sub-zero temperatures, the Duo’s titanium-reinforced hinge maintained its smooth operation, holding its open angles securely without structural failure.

Check out the following iPhone Duo mechanical folding and stress tests and let us know what you think.
