CNET's custom "Fold-a-Phone" machine has surpassed 260,000 folds on the iPhone Duo during a continuous durability test livestreamed daily, with the hinge and crease reportedly holding up well so far. The machine has been folding and unfolding the device 24/7 for over a week, with livestreams airing weekdays from 1-5 p.m. ET. CNET plans to continue testing daily until at least November 20 to monitor for any changes over time. Early reviews had also tested the device's hinge and display durability using similar machines. The ongoing test aims to provide longer-term data on the iPhone Duo's folding mechanism.
