The iPhone Duo isn't a delicate flower when compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 8's IP rating.

WHY even backhanded mention the fold8 here? ...We all know why 🙄 At least samsung kept their rating honest. The duo is CLEARLY NOT ip68 💁‍♂️



"Fold 8 owners therefore have no reason to feel left behind or feel like they bought an inferior product when it comes to durability."


Umm we DIDNT think that. No samsung owner has had THAT to worry about for quite some time. 8 generations have weeded that out...Author speaking to non-fold owners there 😞 Again dragging the competition through the muck unnecessarily 😖

Apple deserves the concern, samsung IN THIS CASE does not.

Salt. Be very careful if using ANY foldable at a restaurant. Make sure no salt gets on the inner screen before you close it.

"In comparison, the Duo's closest rival, the Galaxy Z Fold 8, is rated IP48, so on paper the Duo is a more dust-proof foldable than the Z Fold 8. In practice, based on JerryRigEverything's Z Fold 8 durability test, the dust mostly stayed out and the hinge kept working. It also survived the bend test with the screen intact."


JerryRigsEverything did a great job exposing all the flaws of the Duo, I will not debate on it anymore, his videos are very obvious and clear, only the #ISheep will dare argue against it, and once again Samsung kept it honest with the IP rating, but we know Apple fanboys eat everything Apple tells them:

The iPhone Duo is flawless, with apps that perform well; you might ask NunoB512 about yesterday’s comparison between the Duo and the Fold 8. Those black bars on the Fold 8 are striking. The iPhone Duo outperformed the Fold 8 across every mainstream app—including Gmail and Google Maps—so the contrast isn’t even pleasant. Netflix on the Fold 8 is notably weak. You could also ask him about multitasking with two apps side by side: which device shows black bars and which does not. I’ll give you a clue—the Duo overwhelmed the Fold 8, lol.

Why do you keep making s**t up? That front screen is disgusting and can't even multitask properly; it can't multitask vertically; it can't multitask on the front screen. Why don't you mention that I put 2 different live soccer games on the front screen? Jesus, you make s**t up. Please don't care if you like Apple, but be fair. I told you yesterday that that phone is half-baked and can't be compared to the latest Galaxy Folds. And the color accuracy and vibracy cant be compared; the resolution of the Fold 8 is far superior because of the glossy finish.
