Apple’s first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, hit store shelves last week to considerable lines and long wait times for preorders. But some customers who were lucky enough to get their hands on one of the $2,000 phones have been reporting an unfortunate problem: The inner screen of the phone can break, showing horizontal bright lines emanating from the phone’s hinge. CNBC's MacKenzie Sigalos speaks to iFixit lead teardown technician Shahram Mokhtari to find out what could be going on.

He is the first to film himself breaking it. Others just show the aftermath.

dont talk about screen crack.

the sand test also fail jialats.
this iphone duo design ish jin jialats

The Apple iPhone Duo struggled during sand and dust durability tests—most notably in JerryRigEverything’s stress test—where coarse sand and debris worked past the titanium hinge's seals, causing it to crunch, bind, and jam so badly that the magnetic closure could no longer shut the phone properly. [1, 2]

Key Details from the Sand & Hinge Test:

• • Hinge Ingress: Despite Apple's IP68 dust- and water-resistance rating, coarse dirt and sand entered the titanium hinge mechanism during real-world simulation tests. [1]
  • Mechanical Jamming: Debris caused the hinge to bind, crunch, and leave the device permanently wedged partially open because the internal magnets were overwhelmed. [1, 2]
  • Screen & Water Resilience: While the device continued to function and survived baseline water or beach-wash exposures, the physical compromise of the hinge mechanism and a separate extreme bend test (which caused permanent green lines and display failure) led reviewers to cite the hinge as a vulnerable point. [1, 2, 3]

when open up, the hinge is full of debris and sand...it will jamm the gears eventually


SAMSUNG I LOVE YOU

Very credible until the last sentence
