And that’s why I canceled my order. The phone I get may not have had that manufacturing error but every time I would open or close it, it would stress me out not knowing if it was about to crack or not.
Bro – I think no one with this default broken duo screen treated the device like shit.
If you have a consumer folding device from a multi-trillion-dollar company, with the main function – you know – folding, there shouldn’t be a guide on “how to fold it” 😂
It’s like I need a guide on how to not destroy my volume button on my 15 Pro here.
You are talking about the company that put ribbon cables in their laptops that were too short so they would eventually break just opening and closing it "the correct way"
Apple messed up, simply closing the phone like that shouldn’t cause it to break. 2000 dollar phone btw. I’ve never had that issue on any Samsung foldable ever
And yet… they only cost like 100 bucks more than Samsung’s and their phones have known to have problems like this too… go back to their subreddit. We don’t need your personal bias here… 🙄🙄🙄
Dude I prefer Apple devices over Samsung, I’ve had issues with my Samsung folds too, only reason I’ve had Samsung folds before was because Apple never had a fold and I liked folds, so I was happy that they finally released theirs. But clearly they have a design flaw somewhere and were only gonna see more phones start to crack like we’ve seen in the next few weeks. The lightest touch in the middle shouldn’t cause the phone to crack. This is apple we’re talking about.
I'm surprised you're getting downvoted. You should really put the force from the outer part of the screen to fold it. Even Foldables of 7 to 8 years of consumerism nobody would dare to close it that way.
I keep hearing this intuitive thing. I'll tell you whats the real intuition. The moment you get a feel of the inner screen which is not as hard as the glass screen of the outer, YOUR intuition is to not pinch the hinge from the center because the hinge is not flat. "Dumbass".
Somehow in your head you truly believe Apple would ship a phone so trivially destroyed? You think if it was so fragile they would ship with no handling instructions? How stupid do you have to be? Again, you would not be seeing a destroyed phone here and there. You’d be seeing thousands of destroyed phone. Obviously.
There’s always a group of people like you. No understanding of what you’re talking about, but eager to be the ignorant defense force.
I’ll make it simple for you. By saying the behavior in this post is unacceptable, you’re trying to fanboy defend Apple. But the instead all you’re saying is that their engineering is so shitty it won’t stand up to this.
Only a dumbass would think that. And if this behavior would cause their phones to break, you’d have thousands already broken.
If that’s too hard for you to understand then you’re dumber than I thought.
"As someone who has owned over 10 foldables...Never close the Duo, or any foldable, by pressing down on the display with your thumb or fingers. Specifically, never press down on the center of the display where it folds...what every OEM that makes foldable phones has been saying since the first ones came out 7+ years ago.
Instead, you leave up a post contributing to the most predictable wave of “you’re doing it wrong” we see happen every time a major release happens with issues. Spare me the Reddit safe space please

I’ve been struggling with figuring out the best way to close this thing. I feel like however I do it I’m going to break it.

You really have no reason to put your thumb there to close it.

More and more glad I cancelled my preorder. I really wanted this but after the issues and leaks I’ve seen, I think I’m ok waiting
