Touchscreen MacBook Pro's New Hinge Linked to iPhone Duo 2

Hopefully this one doesn't go puncturing displays.

lol Duo is already such old news. Poor people waiting months for it.

Good they're already working on a new hinge cause the one in the Duo sucks

It shouldn’t do that due to relative placement, but some of the videos I saw indicated the current Duo hinge sucks at keeping dust or larger particulates out so long-term durability is still a question in my mind.

I hope you're not referring to JerryRigEverything. If so, you're getting bad information. The error comes in a misinterpretation of what the '6' in IP68 means. It doesn't mean it's completely impervious to dust. It means particles larger than 0.2mm won't get in. Smaller particles will. When Zack (aka JerryRigEverything) poured sand onto the Duo, it was guaranteed dust would get in. There are no impervious phones.

The '8' in IP68 also doesn't mean a phone is waterproof. It means continuous immersion in water up to 1 meter for a certain amount of time, usually 30 minutes. Put it below 1 meter and the phone can be potentially destroyed. Yet people think IP68 means a device is completely immune to dust and water. It isn't.

When Zack bent the phone, you could tell he was straining as hard as he could. Was he using the same pressure on other phones? Probably not. The hinge did not break. The screen did, but was that from the bend or from the sand? When sand gets in, you never know where that sand settles. The sand, rubbing in the wrong spots when the phone is bent, could easily have broken the screen. Have him do that without sand and see if the screen survives. People point out the weaker IP48-rated Z Fold 8 did not break the screen. All that proved is that the sand didn't settle into a vital area.

JerryRigEverything tests are the most unscientific tests you can imagine. He uses different pressures when bending phones. He'll prod and poke a phone with his knife, pulling off pieces before subjecting them to sand or bend tests that could damage a phone's structural integrity. He also does jump cuts going from scratching a phone to having sand already in the phone. What happened in between?

Basically, his channel is for entertainment, not to inform anyone. Don't believe unscientific tests. Companies paid enormous amounts of money run tests on electronics to see if they comply with common specs, in this case the IP standard by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission). The IP standard is scientifically tested, proving the Duo meets the '6' in the IP68 rating. Zack's tests are not.

At least it’s not behind the display (hopefully)

The crunchy one?
