Abstract:
Well-known digital blogger JerryRigEverything released a video of the durability test of iPhone Duo.
This folding machine failed in the dustproof aspect. Even if it is marked with an IP68 dustproof rating, it still cannot stop dust from getting into the hinge.
The blogger put the machine into an environment full of dust. After the test, everyone discovered that dust penetrated into the fuselage along the gaps in the hinge, directly affecting the closed magnetic structure.
The magnetic suction function of the fuselage that was originally adsorbed and closed failed and it could not be held together securely.
The dust problem is only the first step.
When we continued to do the bending durability test later, a new situation appeared on the screen. During the test, a permanent green line popped up on the inner screen. After a while, the touch screen completely failed
, unable to operate normally.
The sealing of foldable screens has always been a difficult problem in the industry. It is difficult to balance both aspects to ensure that the hinge can be opened and closed repeatedly while also being dustproof and waterproof. Many domestic folding models will also have a separate protective structure on the hinge dustproof to reduce the entry of dust.
The IP68 marked by Apple is data measured in a standard laboratory environment, which does not mean that it will not get dusty in any scene. In daily use, if you often work at construction sites or outdoors in sandy and dusty areas, the dust particles may be small and may seep in slowly along the gaps.
Of course, this is just an extreme violence test by a single blogger, which does not mean that normal use will definitely cause the screen to gray out quickly. But I also give a reminder to those who plan to buy this foldable iPhone. Its protective capabilities are not as comprehensive as imagined, so try to stay away from sandy and dusty environments.
The foldable phone itself has a complex structure, and the repair price is inherently high. The hinge and internal screen are core expensive parts. Once dust enters and causes magnetic suction or screen damage, subsequent repair costs will be considerable.
