Apple has confirmed that some iPhone Duo's are cracking in the same spot due to a defect in the hinge. Is it worth the risk to order a 1st gen folding phone from Apple?
Apple just barely released their new iPhone Duo folding iphone, and its already falling apart. Dust can easily get inside the hinge, and the hinge itself appears to have a defect that can allow it to stab the backside of the screen?! This is crazy! Lets dive in and see whats going on inside the new Apple iPhone Duo.

0:00 Apple has a problem
0:54 Taking off the Folding Screen
2:35 DUST did Duo Dirty
4:09 Glass is Glass
5:54 Duo Hardware goes HARD
12:17 THE HINGE has a problem
15:43 Protection is a Good thing

So far only Huawei have the technology and know how for folding phone. They did that years ago.

Even Xiaomi, so established dare not go to that.

That w=show how backward is Apple. Just paying the branding premium. :s22::s22:

Ecosystem also not ready.

Apple got a hardware guy to be CEO and now hardware CMI. Software which is Apple's strength also seems to be gone.

Apple will likely go into a lost decade again, hope they become a rising phoenix again in 2036.

Yes

I managed to get my pre-order in and paid but after watching YouTube reviews reporting of such screen issues and apps not optimized, I cancelled the pre-order

Lady use should be ok. I'm very careless, always drop my phone, average once a day, once I flicked my hand, the phone flew like 5m away. so I'll wait.

when you cancelled pre-order, did the payment go through, or is it just pre-order and payment to be made when stock arrive?

I wonder how many cancel their order.

When you made pre-order, have to charge credit card full amount.

Cancel pre-order then wait for refund to credit card.

Mmm.. the hinge supplier is furious and threatens to sue people who claims the hinge is defective.. But the fact remains: the screen is damaged by the hinge lei..

yeah, i remember Huawei tri-fold had similar issues, but they had since improved alot. Samsung's tri-fold is also great as well with no issues.

The design of the hinge is very important

I see, i always thought the design is too fragile to last
