iPhone Duo durability test cracks inner screen when bent backward

cnet.com —

YouTuber JerryRigEverything destroyed Apple's new $2,000 foldable iPhone Duo in durability tests, revealing its inner screen cracks when bent backward. The video follows the device's store launch with long customer lines. Zach Nelson tested scratch resistance on both screens, praising the cover's Ceramic Shield 2 glass but noting the inner display scratches as easily as Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8. He also used dirt, pebbles, and medieval chainmail, which the phone handled well due to its matte finish. The frame flexed during backward bending, causing cracks on the 7.6-inch main screen, warning users not to sit on the open device. CNET's Abrar Al-Heeti recommends a case and AppleCare to avoid costly repairs.
