iPhone Duo Durability Flaws Plague the Hinge, Display Lines, Touch ID & App Optimization. · eSIM STUDIOS Podcast - Tech News + Reviews

  that is not normal to just open your phone and
• 0:03
  boom there goes your display all right so before
• 0:16
  we get started on today's video i just want to
• 0:19
  put this out there i'm not going to be making
• 0:21
  as much as i want to i'm not going to be making
• 0:24
  iphone duo content on a daily basis you'll probably
• 0:28
  see me upload a few more videos over the next
• 0:31
  few weeks it's not going to be anything crazy
• 0:33
  i love to troll apple however this can get repetitive
• 0:37
  and or boring for some viewers and that's the
• 0:41
  last thing i want to put out on youtube is repetitive
• 0:44
  and or boring content but i do think this is
• 0:49
  a becoming a huge issue as we're on day two of
• 0:54
  this iphone duo being officially released to
• 0:57
  the public And the more I scroll on social media,
• 1:01
  seems like the more issues people are having,
• 1:04
  I continuously see this person with an issue,
• 1:08
  that person with an issue. Even if it's not a
• 1:10
  hardware issue, which we are going to get into,
• 1:13
  I see a lot of little design flaws, not necessarily
• 1:18
  in the hinge, but I'm talking about no face ID,
• 1:21
  the cameras suck, the... Touch ID on the side
• 1:25
  won't register and always ask the user to input
• 1:28
  their pin code. How annoying would that be on
• 1:31
  a $2 ,000 phone? Are you shitting me? But let's
• 1:36
  get into the major issue, and that appears to
• 1:39
  be a design flaw in the hinge. Apple spent years
• 1:45
  upon years perfecting, perfecting this hinge
• 1:50
  that is on the iPhone Duo. it's that very same
• 1:53
  hinge that's causing these amoled displays to
• 1:57
  be broke we see those lines in it they're in
• 2:00
  the exact same place on every single phone affected
• 2:04
  and you hear the same outcome from the user saying
• 2:08
  they heard a crunch they heard a pop check this
• 2:11
  post out from social media this is a popular
• 2:15
  leaker of tech information he says he has a personal
• 2:18
  friend same issue popped open, crunch, AMOLED
• 2:23
  lines in the screen, and his friend's device
• 2:27
  won't even close. He is taking a shot in the
• 2:31
  dark and saying it could be the latch that's
• 2:34
  on the hinge gets caught, possibly pops up out
• 2:37
  of place, punctures the AMOLED display, and then
• 2:40
  you got those green lines. Here is something
• 2:43
  that is a major concern. Check out this girl's
• 2:47
  video. One day update. It is broken. All I did
• 2:54
  was open it up this morning and it would not
• 2:56
  open. It was like stuck just like this. And I
• 3:00
  could not get it open. So as I finally got it
• 3:04
  open, I just heard like an egg crack. And here
• 3:08
  we are one day later. And T -Mobile did say that
• 3:13
  they can't replace any parts for what, into January,
• 3:16
  so. I'm stuck with this until January, but I
• 3:22
  mean, at least my screen. That is insane. So
• 3:28
  on affected devices, look, if this happens to
• 3:32
  you, you have two options. You can take it back
• 3:36
  to the Apple store or wherever you purchased
• 3:38
  it from an official store. If you purchased it
• 3:40
  from somebody off the street, you're screwed.
• 3:42
  If you purchased it from Apple or AT &T or T
• 3:45
  -Mobile. The best thing to do is to take it back
• 3:48
  to them and say, hey, look what happened. It
• 3:51
  will be covered under warranty. The other option
• 3:54
  is, is to go through insurance to get it fixed.
• 3:57
  Now, I don't know why you would do that if Apple
• 4:00
  is replacing them, but I'm just saying it is
• 4:02
  possible to get it fixed through insurance. However,
• 4:05
  as she was saying, to get it fixed, they can't
• 4:09
  even fix this until January. January. That's
• 4:14
  over two months away. So you just expect people
• 4:17
  to have it sitting on their countertop for two
• 4:21
  months waiting for it to get fixed. That is unacceptable.
• 4:25
  Now, as time goes on, we will see how many devices
• 4:30
  are really affected by this. Here's the scary
• 4:33
  thing. Here's what people need to honestly think
• 4:35
  about. OK, so a lot of these issues where the
• 4:39
  hinge breaks the display. happens some say it's
• 4:43
  happened in the first six hours obviously some
• 4:46
  the first day even some the second day but here's
• 4:49
  the thing who's to say it can't happen six for
• 4:52
  six months from now who's to say it can't happen
• 4:55
  six weeks from now or two years from now and
• 4:58
  that's the scary thing is it just seems like
• 5:01
  a random you just open the device one day and
• 5:04
  then boom it's jacked up i personally don't want
• 5:08
  to be using a device where you're playing russian
• 5:11
  roulette each and every time you open the device
• 5:16
  the durability of this phone is horrendous if
• 5:22
  anybody out there has any interest in this iphone
• 5:25
  duo i'm sure you've already seen the jerry rick
• 5:28
  everything video where he takes it through his
• 5:32
  normal durability test and yeah i know you can
• 5:36
  kind of predict When it comes to candy bar style
• 5:39
  phones, you can kind of predict how they're going
• 5:41
  to go. It gets really juicy, though, when he
• 5:44
  does test the foldables. And this time, the Duo
• 5:48
  failed pretty miserably. When you compare it
• 5:53
  to the competition, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold
• 5:56
  8, that passed with flying colors. I'm going
• 6:00
  to put up a video here that shows just that.
• 6:04
  It shows jerry -rig everything. bending the device
• 6:08
  both the z fold 8 and the iphone duo the in the
• 6:11
  opposite direction it was designed to open now
• 6:15
  what that does is it puts pressure on that amoled
• 6:18
  display now he turns it turns it back around
• 6:21
  facing him the inner display what do you know
• 6:24
  the z fold 8 works like nothing ever happened
• 6:27
  while the iphone duo well you get those lines
• 6:32
  in the display And here's the other issue I have
• 6:35
  with this iPhone Duo. There's a long list, but
• 6:39
  hear me out for a second. The iPhone Duo is IP68
• 6:44
  rated. How is that possible when JerryRigEverything
• 6:50
  throws dust, dirt, and sand in that hinge? And
• 6:54
  it clearly affects the operation of that device.
• 6:57
  Doesn't IP68 include dust and water resistance?
• 7:02
  So how is that IP68 rated? Did they just pay
• 7:05
  for that rating? Because that's clearly what
• 7:07
  it looks like to me. Let's see how the iPhone
• 7:10
  Duo is doing so far. Let me just... If you can
• 7:16
  get dust and dirt and sand in that hinge to affect
• 7:19
  its usability, what's going to happen when you
• 7:22
  put it in a bucket of water? And look, it'll
• 7:25
  be interesting to know just how many devices
• 7:29
  have been affected by the hinge failure. And
• 7:33
  again, I mentioned it the other day on one of
• 7:35
  my videos. I don't know if it's 1 % of users.
• 7:39
  Is it 5 % of users? But when you sell a ton of
• 7:44
  devices, 1 % can be a lot of users, like a lot
• 7:48
  of actual devices. Let's jump to the under display
• 7:54
  camera sensor because The quality of that sensor
• 7:58
  is absolutely ridiculous. I've also been seeing
• 8:03
  a ton of users complaining, uploading videos
• 8:06
  to social media that they recorded from that
• 8:09
  under display sensor. And it is bad. I mean,
• 8:13
  flat out. It is. It's horrible. Let's get to
• 8:17
  the Touch ID. A lot of users are having problems
• 8:20
  with that Touch ID. It not registering the fingerprint.
• 8:25
  Enforcing users to input their passcode each
• 8:28
  and every time they want to use their device.
• 8:31
  So the lack of Face ID, big mistake by Apple.
• 8:36
  Let's jump to the app optimization. Another big
• 8:40
  miss by Apple that can be corrected over time,
• 8:44
  but it's not a good look right out of the box.
• 8:48
  Hindsight being 20 -20, let's jump two, three
• 8:52
  years from now. I think Apple is going to look
• 8:55
  back at the launch of this iPhone Duo and regret
• 8:59
  putting it out too soon because that's what it
• 9:02
  looks like to me. It looks like a device that
• 9:05
  was rushed to market. The apps aren't optimized.
• 9:08
  The ergonomics and design of it doesn't seem
• 9:12
  to be just right. It's heavy. The cameras suck.
• 9:16
  No face ID. The hinge not properly designed.
• 9:21
  If Apple spent years upon years designing this
• 9:25
  thing that got us to this point right now, it
• 9:29
  looks like to me they needed to spend another
• 9:31
  year or two perfecting this device. This is the
• 9:35
  whole reason why I say I try to not purchase
• 9:39
  a first generation of any one product. This iPhone
• 9:44
  Duo does not look like a fun device to use. Sure,
• 9:48
  it's good in thought. It's good in theory. But
• 9:51
  when you actually get the device and start using
• 9:53
  it, there are tons and tons of hiccups and obstacles
• 9:57
  at the forefront of this device. At this point,
• 10:01
  I don't see how any Apple fanboy can still defend
• 10:07
  the Duo. I'm seeing more people online complain
• 10:12
  about the Duo than celebrating the Duo. That's
• 10:16
  a problem. And right now, from the looks of it,
• 10:20
  It appears Samsung has got the better foldable.
• 10:25
  They're on the eighth generation. They've been
• 10:28
  doing this for damn near 10 years. They've already
• 10:31
  worked out all the kinks, ironed out all the
• 10:34
  issues that they saw in the first generation
• 10:37
  or two of their foldables. And what you get is
• 10:41
  the Z Fold 8. Sure, it's not perfect. No smartphone
• 10:44
  is. but it eliminates a lot of what these Apple
• 10:49
  iPhone Duo users are experiencing with this launch.
• 10:53
  After only a few days of observing the internet,
• 10:57
  social media, and everybody that has the new
• 10:59
  iPhone Duo, I think this is going to be a colossal
• 11:03
  failure. Yes, I think this is going to be a bad
• 11:07
  launch over time. Sure, there are more devices,
• 11:12
  iPhone Duos, will be used as normal and operate
• 11:17
  normally but i think there's going to be a huge
• 11:20
  number a large number even though it's probably
• 11:22
  only one to two percent but still that's a lot
• 11:25
  of users that have major major issues with this
• 11:29
  device and everybody knows you're more likely
• 11:32
  to go to social media and or post your experience
• 11:36
  online if you have a bad experience compared
• 11:39
  to a great experience people having bad experiences
• 11:46
  with this iphone duo and i can't prove it but
• 11:51
  i think that hinge has a design flaw that is
• 11:55
  not normal to just open your phone and boom there
• 11:59
  goes your display and maybe i'm wrong but i don't
• 12:02
  remember seeing any of this stuff when samsung
• 12:07
  launched the z fold 8 their passport style foldable
• 12:11
  again maybe i'm wrong but i honestly can't remember
• 12:15
  seeing any i'm not saying nobody ever had an
• 12:18
  issue with their z -fold eight i'm not saying
• 12:20
  that i'm just saying i don't remember seeing
• 12:23
  anything if i'm wrong please correct me down
• 12:26
