iPhone Duo Fails Durability Test as Dust Jams Hinge and Bending Breaks Display

Apple's $1,999 iPhone Duo failed JerryRigEverything's durability test, as dust jammed its titanium hinge and bending permanently damaged the foldable display, raising concerns shortly after launch. YouTuber Zack Nelson found debris entered the hinge despite Apple's IP68 rating, preventing the phone from closing, while backward bending caused green lines and screen failure. The outer display resisted scratches well. The inner display replacement costs about $1,000, highlighting repair expenses. Although extreme, the tests reveal risks from sand, dust, or excessive bending beyond normal daily use.
