Looking forward to reviews after a few months of use. So far all the foldables I've seen get destroyed quite fast.

- cubefox 7d ago> So far all the foldables I've seen get destroyed quite fast. I doubt you did see any from the last few years.
- minimaxir 7d agoThe presentation went into extra detail about durability w/ a titanium construction, and the iPhone Air was indeed super durable with it. The hinge at-the-least looks like it could survive the dust test.
- makeitdouble 7d agoIt's a claim in a marketing presentation though. Apple also touts ultra durable screens in their presentation and people still shatter them regularly.
- minimaxir 7d ago"ultra durable" does not mean "indestructible."
- georgeburdell 7d agoApple has most likely stress tested its engineers to stress test this phone
- accrual 7d agoThey went over their multi-layer design to give it strength and flexibility, and noted over 100 components in the hinge alone. I'll be looking out for JerryRigEverything on YouTube to see how tough it really is!
- kllrnohj 7d agoJerryRigEverything won't tell you how easily the hinge gunks up or cruft gets stuck in places it's not supposed to be or how quickly crease marks show up and how bad they are. While Apple certainly looked at the competitors to see what problems they had, it's far from a given that Apple has managed to actually solve the durability issues, either, much less on their first attempt.
- fsuts 6d agoIt’s not their first attempt though? It’s their first public release. Imagine they have 100 previous versions as it’s been mooted to have been in development for years
