iPhone Duo survives 10,000 folds but display crease deepens

me.mashable.com —

Mediastorm's 10,000-fold stress test of Apple's iPhone Duo found the titanium hinge remained smooth and durable, but the central display crease became visibly deeper and more pronounced after repeated folding. The test involved 500 manual folds, 10,000 automated cycles at room temperature, and 1,000 folds in freezing conditions. The hinge showed zero degradation, while the 7.6-inch OLED screen developed a deeper crease, though touch and display functions remained fully operational without damage. Software glitches caused wallpaper flickering during slow folding, which Apple is expected to address in iOS 27.2. The 10,000 folds equate to roughly three months of heavy use, confirming creasing is inevitable with folding glass but structural integrity holds up.
