TL;DR JerryRigEverything’s durability test left the iPhone Duo with permanent green lines across its inner display after bending, eventually rendering the screen unresponsive.

iFixit’s teardown suggests the reported screen failures may be linked to stress near the hinge’s central support.

Both tests also highlight the risk posed by dust and debris.

The iPhone Duo is relatively repairable for a foldable, but replacing its inner screen costs around $1,000.

Apple’s first foldable iPhone has barely left the building, but it’s already facing durability questions after reports of early screen failures. Two separate tests from JerryRigEverything and iFixit have highlighted potential weaknesses around the phone’s inner display and hinge, although neither could establish the exact cause of the reported screen failures.
