Briefings

A CNET-built 'Fold-a-Phone' machine has performed over 260,000 folds and unfolds on an iPhone Duo for a week while livestreaming daily. This test demonstrates extreme mechanical resilience under repeated folding and unfolding conditions.

Key points

• The device performed over 260,000 folds and unfolds on an iPhone Duo for a week while livestreaming daily.
• The test demonstrates extreme mechanical resilience under repeated folding and unfolding conditions.

Context

CNET conducted a durability test on the iPhone Duo by building a specialized machine to perform continuous folding and unfolding for a week, with daily livestreams documenting the process.

Limitations

The evidence is limited to a single week of continuous testing with no data on long-term durability beyond this period, and the livestreams do not provide quantitative metrics on fold count accuracy or failure points.
