iFixit iPhone Duo Teardown Suggests Hinge Dust and Stress May Cause Screen Cracks

macrumors.com —

iFixit's teardown of the iPhone Duo suggests hinge dust infiltration and stress concentration may cause reported screen cracks, though no definitive cause was found. The device showed strong dust resistance, with particles reaching the hinge but less than rivals like the Galaxy Z Fold8. iFixit praised the easy battery removal and outer display access, awarding a provisional repairability score of 5 out of 10. The inner display and hinge remain key vulnerabilities, with potential failure points near the cable transition and curved rails. This is the most repairable foldable tested, but still challenging to fix.
