iFixit tears down iPhone Duo, finds possible causes of early screen failures

iFixit’s teardown suggests Apple’s iPhone Duo is unusually repairable for a foldable device, earning a provisional 5/10 and showing design choices that could lower service complexity and lifetime support costs for IT. However, the report also points to likely hinge-related stress points behind early screen failures, underscoring that foldables may still carry higher reliability, warranty, and replacement risk than standard smartphones—important for CIOs weighing fleet adoption and support models.
