00:00The iPhone Duo Durability Test. Double the displays, double the durability doubts,
00:05and definitely double the dollars, the Duo is a dazzling delicate and downright debatable device,
00:11devised by dorks, I mean designers, in downtown Cupertino. Devastatingly deluxe, today's drills
00:19will determine the dependability or detail the disappointing demise and deferred dissection.
00:25Is the Duo a dual display disaster, or a delightfully dynamic,
00:30delectable, dollar devouring device for the devastatingly devoted? Only one way to find
00:35out. With the phone out of the box, you would think just by listening to Apple that this is
00:40the first folding phone ever made. We can play along with that, no problem, everyone's got a fantasy.
00:46But they are totally correct in that this is the first folding phone with dual ultra thin glass
00:51layers on the center screen, which is extremely interesting. Maybe now it won't scratch at
00:56level fingernail like all the other folding phones. I think Apple took everything that they learned
01:00from making the ultra thin titanium iPhone Air, and then combined that with everything Samsung
01:06has learned for the past 8 years while they were making their own folding phones. And then for some
01:11unknown reason, Apple also dug up the grave of Microsoft's old folding phone from like 6 years ago,
01:16and stole the name. Microsoft Duo. But since everyone else forgot about that guy, I guess we can too.
01:22Sharing is caring after all, am I right? The iPhone Duo is definitely the first of its name,
01:28and the first of its kind. Right off the bat it's a fun little device. It's basically like using two
01:33phones at once, which is great since it costs as much as two phones. Scrolling two social media apps at
01:39the same time will definitely help squeeze out those last few drops of happiness from those dried up
01:44dopamine receptors. Problem solved. It's a tempting device, and as an Android user of 15 years,
01:50if this video gets 200,000 likes I'll switch teams for a month. Please don't. While messing with the
01:55cameras, I noticed my JerryRig knife was magnetically adhering itself to the phone. So busting out the
02:01magnet paper, we can see where all the magnets are located. These help hold the phone shut, and this
02:06information will come in handy later. We also see all the magnets on the back for the wireless charging,
02:11which looks super cool. The insides of Apple's iPhones are always cooler than the outsides,
02:17so hopefully it snaps in half for us here in a few seconds. We also get a close up look
02:21at the
02:22hidden under display camera at this point, along with the soft center crease. As you can see the
02:27pressure of my finger kind of flexes the screen a bit like fabric. Not a big deal. This matte finish
02:33really does help hide the crease a lot, and I'm a fan so far. Starting our scratch testing on the
02:38exterior screen, the iPhone Duo has ceramic shield 2 glass on the front and regular ceramic shield on
02:44the back glass panel. We can work our way up through the Mohs scale of hardness to verify its scratch
02:49resistance. Plastic scratches at a 2 or 3. Sapphire would scratch at a level 8 or 9. And this ceramic
02:55shield glass, again, only starts showing the faintest of marks at a level 7. I can't even say the thing.
03:02Nice work Apple. This exterior glass also protects the front 12 megapixel exterior selfie camera. The
03:08camera does not come with Face ID though. The glass goes all the way up to the super thin earpiece
03:13slit
03:13between the glass and the titanium frame. So far, so good. Moseying on over to the inner flexible screen
03:20on the iPhone Duo, this is where things start to get interesting. See, Apple says there are 10 ultra thin
03:26layers sandwiched together to make up this inner flexible screen. And two of those layers apparently
03:32are ultra thin flexible glass with a matte nanotexture scratch resistant coating on the surface of that
03:39inner display. It is super cool that Apple has an underscreen camera. Yeah, ZTE released a smartphone with
03:46an underscreen camera back in 2020, and Samsung did it on their own folding phone in 2021. And you can't
03:53forget red magic that did it in 2022. But just like the British in the 1800s, nothing really exists in
04:00the world until Apple does it for the first time. So here it is. We should call it Victoria. You
04:06can see
04:06the way the pixels turn on and off under the screen to let that 4 megapixel selfie camera peek around
04:11the
04:11pixels. Also pay attention to how muted those pixels are under the anti-glare matte coating. We'll come back
04:18to this in a second. Continuing our scratch test, surprisingly the matte nanotexture finish does a
04:23really good job at hiding scratches. Which is great because just like every other folding phone in
04:29existence, the iPhone Duo scratches at a level 2 with deeper grooves at a level fingernail. While the
04:35screen is on, these scratches just magically disappear just like that center crease disappears. It's like in the
04:41construction industry, it's very common to paint hallways and big rooms in an eggshell or satin finish
04:47instead of gloss because the non-shiny finishes hide imperfections really well. The keys and coins are
04:54leaving marks along with the medieval chainmail armor as one often has. And with the screen on,
05:01the imperfections are just totally disappearing. It's an incredibly brilliant move on Apple's part to
05:06to have a matte display on the iPhone Duo. But when the screen turns off, those imperfections do come
05:12back. It's not really as big of a deal as I was expecting it would be. The nanotexture layer is
05:17a
05:17pretty elegant solution to a plasticky problem. The extra layer of ultra thin glass Samsung tucked
05:23into Apple's screen doesn't help the scratch resistance a whole lot, but the top layer of matte protection
05:28sure does. The marks do not clean off with isopropyl alcohol, so they are definitely permanent.
05:33In my semi-unprofessional opinion, the only real difference between Samsung screens on their own
05:39fold and Samsung screens on the Apple fold is the top matte textured layer. But what happens if we remove
05:46that top layer? Would the iPhone Duo still survive? Obviously I can't structurally compromise this first
05:52Duo since it still has to go through some things, but luckily I have dual Duos – thumbs up for
05:58that – and
05:58we can get a look at what that screen actually looks like without the matte layer installed.
06:03Obviously taking off the nanotexture is super duper frowned upon by Apple since it is an integral
06:09structural layer of the screen, but for science it'll help us see what the real display looks like
06:14underneath. Apple says that if the top surface layer of the screen never comes off or gets scratched,
06:19they will replace it themselves for 49 bucks. Samsung does it for free on their own folding phones,
06:25at least for the first 12 months, but let's not keep score. If the inner screen gets totally damaged
06:30though, like on a pixel level, it'll cost $1,000 to replace. $1,000 to fix that inner screen. And
06:38I
06:38don't know if you heard me on that or not, but it will be 10 Benjamins to replace this inner
06:43display
06:44if it ever breaks. The nanotexture layer of this nice sky color Duo does not want to come off on
06:50its own,
06:50but it can be persuaded. Once it's off, you can see what a difference it makes for the screen.
06:56Yeah, the glares are back, but so are the colors. One looks like a vibrant fresh AMOLED display,
07:02and the other looks like it has Vaseline smeared all over the top. It's a tough trade off,
07:06and I'm by no means telling people to take off the nanotexture layers. To be honest,
07:10you'll probably end up breaking it. But personally, I think now it kind of looks better. Let me know what
07:15you think down in the comments. Continuing onward with our original star wide iPhone Duo, there's
07:21really no way to protect the center screen from damage besides just leaving it closed as much as
07:25possible. The exterior screen though, slapping an extra layer of glass on top will definitely help
07:30keep it alive during drops. And of course, improve the resale value when you decide you don't like
07:35folding phones anymore. True story, it happened to me when I tried out the Z Flip for a few days.
07:40I knew within 24 hours that I am not a folding kind of guy. I'll leave a link for this
07:44easy to install
07:45prism screen protector from my channel sponsor dbrand down in the description. It is real glass.
07:51While I'm not a folding guy, I am however definitely a titanium kind of guy. Apple just dropped a ton
07:58of
07:58money to work with an American company called Perryman in Pennsylvania who can produce all the
08:03titanium Apple needs for the iPhone Duo. And like I'm for sure secure enough to show off my own
08:08titanium rod. This is about 200 bucks worth of grade 5 titanium. But when you get a look at what
08:14the guys are packing in Pennsylvania, I can see why Apple forked over 100 million. I would very much
08:19like to see that titanium operation in person someday. The camera control and power buttons
08:24are not removable. That's one feature Apple didn't take from Samsung. Neither are the volume buttons,
08:29which are up top. Instead of having the volume buttons go up and down like we usually see on a
08:34normal phone, this time you have to go left and right since they're on the top. And you'll be happy
08:39about that decision since that's what Apple decided for us. You get what you get and you don't throw a
08:44fit.
08:48The spine of the iPhone Duo is also titanium, 85% of which has been recycled. The bottom of the
08:54iPhone
08:54Duo has our lower stereo loudspeakers as well as the USB C3, which can charge at 35 watts, I think.
09:01Apple's not very good at giving us straight answers on the tech specs. The spatial audio loudspeakers,
09:06that you can hear audio from the left side and over onto the right side independently from each other,
09:12are kind of cool. And it's nostalgic that Apple kept their two pentalobe screws going for each half
09:17of the phone. Kind of fun. There are four of them now and it'll be super cool to take this
09:21apart,
09:22so make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss that teardown video. The back glass of the iPhone Duo
09:26houses the 25 watt rear wireless charger with a gradual slope up to the two cameras on the camera plateau.
09:33So if we zoom into the Apple logo back here, no it's not your eyes, Apple absolutely floundered the
09:39stencil placement on this one. It's not even close. We got Duo Apples on the Apple Duo.
09:44Up at the cameras we have our ultra wide 48 megapixel camera on the left,
09:48and our regular main 48 megapixel camera on the right. There's no telephoto this time like we see
09:53over on the Pro iPhones. There is a tiny metal grill for the rear facing microphone as well as a
09:58single
09:59tone LED flash. And that's great and everything, but this is where we start to encounter some problems.
10:04See Apple says the iPhone Duo is IP68 water and dust resistant, which are some bold claims for a
10:10folding phone. And this should mean they shouldn't be scared of a little dust, right? Super wrong.
10:16It is cool how the dust sticks to the magnets on the back though. Dust is going to be the
10:20iPhone Duo's
10:21worst nightmare. And as you can see, there are copious amounts of sand, dust, and dirt covering the whole
10:26phone. But spoiler alert, the world is made of dirt. So there's a decent chance you'll come in contact
10:32with the stuff at some point if you go outside. And thanks to all that dirt, my new iPhone Duo
10:38is completely done closing. The dirt doesn't enter in through the screen or anywhere around the frame.
10:44It appears that the hinge is the issue. There's a few ingress points where enough dirt can get inside
10:49to keep the hinge from closing. The dusty Duo is damaged. The magnets that normally have enough force
10:56to hold the phone shut can't overcome the force of the dust that is collected inside of the titanium
11:01hinge. And now it's stuck open. If you only learn one thing from this video, it's how important it
11:06is to stay away from dust, dirt, grit, sand, and vans that say free candy on the side. As far
11:12as the
11:12pixels go, it's basically exactly what we saw on Samsung's newest Fold 8. 7.6 inch, 3000 nit, 120
11:20hertz refresh rate OLED that starts to burn after about 10 seconds. The exterior screen is the 5.4 inch
11:26with the same 3000 nit 120 hertz panel, but it lasts for more than 20 seconds without damage since the
11:33glass is there to help absorb and redistribute that heat. Finally, the bin test. I've been testing these
11:39folding phones since the first generation 7 years ago. Most do survive, but you know some explode like
11:45the Pixel Fold last year. Historically, Samsung's make the strongest foldables, so let's hope Apple
11:51followed in their footsteps. There is quite a bit more flex than I anticipated. And while the phone
12:02body does remain intact during this initial flex, unfortunately the inner screen has developed a
12:09permanent, unrepairable, $1,000 down the drain green line, which emanates from the center of the screen
12:16all the way out to the titanium frame. And yeah, it still won't close from all that dust.
12:24Bending again, we now have three lines. The hinge lets the body flex just far enough that the inner
12:30flexible screen gets permanently damaged. We've never had this problem with these Samsung foldables by the
12:36way, except for that trifold, but that gets a pass since it's the size of an iPad. Maybe it's the
12:41dust
12:41in the hinge, or maybe it's the hinge not being as rigid as it needs to be, but the iPhone
12:46Duo does
12:47not survive my durability test. Don't let anyone sit on your phone when it's in the open position,
12:52since now the whole inner screen is unresponsive and my wallet just got $1,000 lighter. Now Apple's kind
12:59of funny when it comes to protecting their own fragile phone. They provide us with two case options at
13:04launch. One is called a folio case that has a neat magic carpet style extending hinge cover. This
13:10costs $130 by the way. The case almost needs a case with how expensive it is. And it also does
13:17not protect the sides of the phone, which is wild. Then we have the $80 Duo case, which does cover
13:23the
13:23sides of the phone, but not the hinge. And as we know, leaving a portion unprotected is a bad idea.
13:29Just ask Achilles. Now to be fair to Apple, I do think I know why they skip protecting the whole
13:34phone. Most folding cases have spring loaded axles inside the hinge, attached with a screw and metal
13:40plates to make the whole thing open and close properly with your phone. But just like glass,
13:44moving parts have a tendency to break, especially when you move them thousands of times over years.
13:49And the last thing you want is a spring springing from your case in the springtime. And you might be
13:54like, Hey Jerry, if Apple can't keep my Duo alive, how am I supposed to keep my Duo alive? And
14:00that's a
14:00great question. If we take a look at the grip case from my channel sponsor dbrand, they've developed
14:05a whole new hinge protection system for the iPhone Duo that features no moving parts. The protective
14:11hinge cover is welded to the case with a highly elastic polymer like a compliant mechanism, which
14:16means no moving parts to wear out or fail over time. It also makes it thinner than other door hinge
14:21style folding cases. The best solution is often the simplest one, so I definitely approve of dbrand's
14:26decision to keep the design simple with their Duo grip case. So if you want a case that will keep
14:31your Duo protected on all of the sides while looking epic with my teardown skin installed on the back,
14:37I'll leave a link down below. Or if you live here in the US of A, you can stop by
14:41your local Best Buy
14:42to pick one up in person. You can even grab a screen protector while you're at it. Thanks a ton
14:46for
14:46watching. I'll see you around.
