Why it matters
Durability concerns for high-end folding smartphones can influence consumer purchasing decisions and brand reputation.
Apple's iPhone Duo has failed JerryRigEverything's latest durability test . Despite its IP68 dust-resistance rating, dust entered the hinge through several ingress points, overwhelming the magnets that hold the phone shut. The bend test then left a permanent green line across the inner display, before the screen became unresponsive.
