Independent researchers have found a literal weakest link in the iPhone Duo design, with an intentional undercut at the weakest part of the hinge instead of on the much stronger spine it folds into. This is the tab that people see create the bump, and what ultimately will wind up cracking the screen. But this isn't all.
>>110278023On the left is the iPhone Duo hinge and spine, on the right is the Samsung Fold 8 version. Not only does the Samsung hinge have twice as many mounting points, and is twice as wide, but the parts themselves are thicker even than the thickest part of the Duo hinge. This combined with how Apple mounted the hinge directly on the weak point next to the ribbon cable bridge. Not only does this means that the iPhone Duo is more susceptible to over extension, but it guarantees a screen failure should the hinge ever pop out, being in the weakest least supported side of the delicate folding OLED.

Never buy a first gen product.
>>110278023iPhone owners live around the apple product cycle, of course everyone who bought a duo is expected to buy a duo 2
>>110278023Why are we still talking about this? Reddit has stated this is over blown issue that no longer exists and only impacted a very very tiny number of devices that had the initial manufacturing date from the Chinese factory.
>>110278023Planned Obsolescence is a design feature, it gives customers the best possible experience of never being stuck with outdated tech.
>>110278250>Reddityou need to go back
>>110278023>costumer's
>>110278023You're opening it wrong
>>110278049>Apple mounted the hinge directly on the weak point next to the ribbon cable bridgeAPPLE has made shitty design choices like this for decades across all their products and they used to make repairmen rich from fixing their shitty designed products before they started that parts pairing bullshit It is tech designed by faggots in california for retarded whores
>>110278023>Oh no this thing with a hinge on the screen isn't as durable as a slabphone!lol. Apple fags don't want a stinky 2-year old phone anyway.
>>110278023>Planned Obsolescence bro it literally breaks in like two weeks

>>110278023This is one case where I can easily believe there's no deliberately planned obsolescence. There's no need for it. It's just a fragile piece of shit that will fall apart quickly, be subject to a couple of class action lawsuits, and quietly be discontinued.
>>110278430based
>>110278023>Metal is literally thinner at the attachment pointI mean how more clearcut could it be
>>110278023and thats why if you want an apple product, you jamal it
>>110278023Does the faggot shill that ruins the phone general just not venture out of the thread? I notice you can shit on Apple and iPhones in a separate thread and he doesn't appear. I'm starting to get convinced it an actual bot.
>>110278023>as the iPhone duo is hyperextendedSo they did fold it wrong?
>>110278023>>110278049iTODDLERS BTFO
>>110278067how come standard aging test didnt catch it
>>110278911he will appear if you post the photo where he left the reflection of his face in it.
>>110278911maybe if you dumb niggers actually posted in the other smartphone threads instead of letting them die spg is a lost cause, there is zero point in posting anything in there
>>110278911reminder the janny will NOT delete nor banned the obvious shilling and botted posts on anything not apple related but will banned other user in the smartphone general
>>110278067im enjoying my lcd steamdeck and i got it when it was new
>>110278049Hilarious. The Duo is significantly thicker and heavier yet somehow the build is significantly worse. And we've already seen that IP68 rating is a sham where it matters (hinge).

>>110279506not watching your video idiot
>>110278049Also you can see the two different colors. Rather than make it all in titanium they only made half of it that way.
