Man Destroys $2,000 iPhone Duo With Dirt, Fire, Knives and Medieval Chainmail

YouTuber JerryRigEverything tests the iPhone Duo's durability for scratch and dust resistance. And it is wild to watch.

It might seem obvious, but try not to sit on your iPhone Duo when you leave it open.

That lesson comes a day after Apple’s foldable iPhone hit stores with lines of people queued up to buy the new device. Tech reviewer Zach Nelson dropped an iPhone Duo video on his YouTube channel, JerryRigEverything, testing the scratch resistance and bendability of the new $2,000 phone. 

Let’s just say that Nelson’s measured, soothing voice didn’t keep me calm as he meticulously destroyed the Duo.

He subjected it to numerous scratch tests on both its cover and inner screens. Nelson praised Apple for the cover screen’s Ceramic Shield 2 glass and noted that the inner screen, even with its nano-texture finish, scratches as easily as the Galaxy Z Fold 8’s nonmatte folding display.

Nelson used medieval chainmail (no proof it was actually from the Middle Ages), dirt, dust and pebbles to test the Duo further. Surprisingly, the new phone handled the chainmail easily. Nelson partly credits that to the Duo’s matte finish on the inner screen, which seems to hide imperfections.

He then opened the Duo’s inner screen and tried to bend it backward a few times. 6-inch screen. So if you set your Duo down with its main screen open on a chair or couch, just don’t sit on it.
