iPhone Duo Issues & Launch Day Review. Bad Display, Hinge, Cracking, Crease, Matte Screen Protector · eSIM STUDIOS Podcast - Tech News + Reviews

• 0:00
  so today october the 23rd was the launch day
• 0:04
  of the iphone duo and we saw right out of the
• 0:09
  gate uh what was it it was like late morning
• 0:12
  maybe 11 but 10 or 11 in the morning when after
• 0:16
  people you know go to the apple store to go pick
• 0:20
  up their order they get an hour or two of use
• 0:23
  out of it and then and then obviously when something's
• 0:26
  wrong with the product well what do you do of
• 0:29
  course you go and hit the internet so typically
• 0:32
  i saw a ton and i didn't have a lot of time to
• 0:36
  to doom scroll on the duo but it looks like there's
• 0:41
  a decent amount of dissatisfied customers on
• 0:45
  reddit but there is a ton a ton on twitter there
• 0:50
  is a ton so they're calling this crack gate okay
• 0:56
  by some online communities now it's not just
• 1:00
  crack gate because it's not just the hinge that
• 1:04
  they're having issues with apparently they're
• 1:06
  having issues with the panel with the oled panel
• 1:09
  and there's a ginormous crease that's not the
• 1:14
  only thing i also kind of noticed that that mat
• 1:20
  screen protector that pre -installed matte screen
• 1:22
  protector they put on there makes the display
• 1:25
  look despicable it in fact i have a picture here
• 1:30
  for everybody let me show you just what i'm talking
• 1:32
  about so take a look at this the iphone duo is
• 1:37
  on the left and i think that's a z fold 8 on
• 1:41
  the right now both have OLED panels. Both are
• 1:45
  manufactured by Samsung. Yes, the iPhone Duo
• 1:50
  does have a Samsung OLED panel on there. And
• 1:53
  we're going to get to the difference. What is
• 1:56
  Samsung's fault and what's not Samsung's fault?
• 2:00
  Potentially what's Apple's fault and what's not
• 2:02
  their fault. But just look at what the matte
• 2:06
  screen protector does to your OLED display. It
• 2:10
  makes it look gray. It makes it look washed out.
• 2:13
  That iPhone Duo on the left there almost looks
• 2:17
  like it has the S26 Ultra privacy display. Because
• 2:23
  when you activate that privacy display, which
• 2:26
  I haven't since the very first day I got my phone,
• 2:29
  it makes it look grayed out, sort of just like
• 2:33
  the Duo. So, boy, what a nasty looking display
• 2:37
  that is. now here is another thing that owners
• 2:44
  have been reporting kind of annoyed with look
• 2:50
  we got the full spectrum of of complaints on
• 2:52
  this iphone duo so you got the grayed out looking
• 2:57
  display right now what about this one that's
• 3:03
  another grayed out looking display that's an
• 3:06
  iphone 18 pro max on the left and then you with
• 3:09
  no matte does a screen protector and then you
• 3:13
  have the factory installed matte screen protector
• 3:15
  on the right and you can see just how it and
• 3:21
  look and you can't take that off it's not like
• 3:24
  i mean you can but they don't want you to right
• 3:30
  in fact it looks even worse with it take uh with
• 3:34
  it peeled off i i uploaded a short yesterday
• 3:38
  That shows, I think somebody in China got theirs
• 3:42
  and recorded themselves peeling that matte screen
• 3:45
  protector off. When you peel that matte screen
• 3:47
  protector off, it shows all of the inadequacies,
• 3:52
  all of the intricate details, the rivets, the
• 3:56
  ruts, the crevices in that panel, and it looks
• 4:00
  horrible. You can see just here how it sort of
• 4:05
  turns that OLED panel into a real shitty LCD
• 4:08
  panel. At least look wise, right? Because the
• 4:12
  iPhone 18 Pro Max also has a Samsung display.
• 4:16
  But you can see just the difference between what
• 4:21
  that tiny little thin matte film does with that
• 4:25
  screen protector. Here's something else that
• 4:28
  annoys people. So you buy the iPhone Duo. and
• 4:32
  you want this you know nice i guess ipad mini
• 4:36
  tablet that essentially folds in half well when
• 4:40
  it's folded open right when you got it open you're
• 4:43
  watching content you're like oh wow i have this
• 4:45
  nice big display let's watch some youtube on
• 4:48
  it and then you realize oh crap it's actually
• 4:53
  not much bigger if any at all than the size of
• 4:58
  my iphone um regular iphone candy bar style phone
• 5:02
  so you can see the iphone 18 pro max on the left
• 5:05
  iphone duo on the right you got those stupid
• 5:10
  black bars now this is not necessarily specific
• 5:14
  to the iphone duo because this is one of the
• 5:17
  many things one of the many things that prevents
• 5:21
  me from using a foldable is just a little stuff
• 5:25
  like this it's like it's like why have a big
• 5:29
  nice display when you're gonna just have black
• 5:32
  bars on there right and now i know on youtube
• 5:36
  you can pinch to zoom in and it'll fill up well
• 5:40
  i take that back on android you can on the z
• 5:44
  fold 8 you can z fold of 7 with many foldables
• 5:50
  i think even the most android foldables if not
• 5:53
  all of them you can pinch to zoom where it fills
• 5:55
  up the whole display now i'm going to put this
• 5:57
  out there i don't know if you can do that on
• 6:00
  the iphone duo just because i don't know if they
• 6:02
  have that implemented that feature implemented
• 6:05
  into the software maybe you can maybe you can't
• 6:08
  i have no clue right um but what's the point
• 6:14
  of getting a big display if you can't fill up
• 6:16
  that entire thing right now let's do this let's
• 6:22
  look into that big ass crease shall we so i guess
• 6:29
  technically apple never said anything in regards
• 6:35
  to the crease or the foldable at all pre -launch
• 6:40
  or pre uh announcement right however one of the
• 6:47
  many reasons why this has been delayed for so
• 6:50
  long look apple has been developing this very
• 6:57
  phone this model of phone for years four years
• 7:02
  it's just now being released today but development
• 7:05
  on this project started i think five years ago
• 7:10
  so they've been working on this thing forever
• 7:12
  and the main reason why it took them longer to
• 7:15
  launch a foldable than it does samsung right
• 7:20
  or motorola is because of the crease now again
• 7:24
  they have not mentioned anything that uh in regards
• 7:30
  to that crease but from internal leaks they did
• 7:35
  not want a crease in their perfect world of course
• 7:37
  nobody does but apple internally was concerned
• 7:41
  that if they put a foldable out with a huge crease
• 7:44
  in it they know their customer meaning apple
• 7:47
  they know they're snobs they know that they're
• 7:50
  very very picky that they're ocd and apple knew
• 7:55
  that that crease would bother some people when
• 8:00
  i used my wife's z -fold 8 just to basically
• 8:05
  record an unboxing it didn't bother me so much
• 8:10
  and everybody's different right some people it
• 8:12
  will bother some people it will not you they
• 8:15
  honestly just have to go to a best buy or use
• 8:18
  a friends or shit just order one use it for a
• 8:22
  week or two and if you don't like it send it
• 8:24
  back before your return date is up but some people
• 8:27
  that'll bother some it won't now apple did not
• 8:29
  say anything about oh we're gonna have a crease
• 8:32
  free display they did not say that but internally
• 8:36
  they did not want that that's the whole point
• 8:40
  that's the entire reason i believe pre -installed
• 8:46
  matte screen protector on this device is to minimize
• 8:50
  the look and the reflection of that crease when
• 8:55
  you look at the display under a light right now
• 8:59
  that's not the worst of it um we got somebody
• 9:02
  on reddit that is supplying us with a ton of
• 9:05
  photos i guess there's our username down below
• 9:07
  of this crease And I guess a lot of these Apple
• 9:11
  users are kind of surprised because look, I don't
• 9:14
  like full duels, but I like flips. If that makes
• 9:16
  any sense, I have no clue. I like flips. I've
• 9:20
  had every flip ever made model wise. I just like
• 9:25
  that form factor. And in the flips, the crease
• 9:28
  really doesn't bother me. But when you first
• 9:32
  get it, when you first open a box up on your
• 9:34
  first unboxing, when you open up that box, and
• 9:39
  that phone is sitting right there in front of
• 9:41
  you it looks like it's a completely flat plane
• 9:43
  a flat display it's not until after your first
• 9:47
  fold that that crease appears and i guess these
• 9:53
  people were shocked i'm assuming a lot of these
• 9:56
  people that are complaining online are apple
• 9:59
  users that have never took a dive into the android
• 10:02
  world or to dive into the deep end even further
• 10:08
  with foldables right so i think a lot of these
• 10:10
  people are kind of like whoa i think apple was
• 10:13
  right in regards to their customer not being
• 10:17
  too excited about a big crease because we got
• 10:21
  a ton of pictures of that very thing so let's
• 10:27
  take a look at what it looks like in the sun
• 10:30
  because not only does that matte screen protector
• 10:33
  that pre -installed matte screen protector try
• 10:37
  to minimize the visual look and feel of that
• 10:43
  crease but here's a side effect of putting that
• 10:47
  matte screen protector on there is that under
• 10:51
  natural light under the sunlight when you step
• 10:54
  outside it makes the display harder to see. I
• 10:58
  have a video for you. Watch this. All right.
• 11:02
  So this is in direct sunlight. Not going to lie.
• 11:05
  The nanotexture screen does kind of suck. One
• 11:10
  thing I also noticed is with the sun hitting
• 11:13
  it, you're definitely going to see that crease.
• 11:16
  It is not very hidden anymore in direct sunlight.
• 11:20
  So yeah. So you see right there, it... kind of
• 11:29
  dilutes the boldness of that Samsung AMOLED display.
• 11:36
  If you took that screen protector off, it would
• 11:39
  be a nice, beautiful, colorful Samsung display,
• 11:42
  right? So another side effect, adverse effect
• 11:48
  of having a matte screen protector on your display.
• 11:52
  And again, this is just my opinion. and i've
• 11:57
  heard a couple of different different opinions
• 11:59
  in regards to why they put that matte screen
• 12:02
  protector on there but you cannot convince me
• 12:04
  otherwise i think the sole reason of putting
• 12:07
  a pre -installed matte screen protector on there
• 12:10
  is to hide that crease that's just me that is
• 12:15
  just me now let's jump into another issue with
• 12:21
  these and probably the biggest issue because
• 12:23
  regardless if you know the crease might bother
• 12:27
  some people might not bother others the the dullness
• 12:32
  of the display when it's on max brightness like
• 12:34
  in this video might bother some people might
• 12:38
  not bother others right some people like yeah
• 12:40
  i don't go outside that much anyways i work from
• 12:42
  home whatever you know they can live with it
• 12:45
  one thing you cannot live with is this is this
• 13:02
  flickering that's not good so a number of people
• 13:14
  online are getting where's the i thought i had
• 13:23
  another video is getting the lines the green
• 13:28
  line of the the green lines like that like what's
• 13:32
  in this video right here i have seen probably
• 13:40
  let's see i have seen probably six different
• 13:50
  people maybe seven uh now of course you could
• 13:56
  probably ai generate a picture possibly a video
• 14:00
  you know you don't really have one but you can
• 14:03
  generate a video showing oh god look at this
• 14:06
  duo i picked it up um but that's a problem now
• 14:12
  some stuff people are not factually correct online
• 14:17
  is if you go underneath the video and you read
• 14:20
  the comments people having mad debates going
• 14:22
  back and forth whose fault is it is it is it
• 14:25
  samsung's fault or is it apple's fault when it
• 14:28
  comes to the green lines look technically samsung
• 14:33
  manufactures and produces the amoled panel meaning
• 14:38
  the light emitting diodes right samsung manufactures
• 14:43
  that display however apple manufactures the digitizer
• 14:52
  in the next couple of layers sitting on top of
• 14:55
  it apple manufactures and designs the hinge that
• 15:01
  opens and closes and apple also manufactures
• 15:05
  and designs the all the connectors the ribbon
• 15:08
  cables from with inside the phone whose fault
• 15:12
  is that hard to say because some have said online
• 15:17
  that the green lines the messed up display was
• 15:21
  from a bad hinge there's a number of people online
• 15:25
  saying online saying that when they open the
• 15:28
  the fold and this is we're talking about from
• 15:31
  like one of their very first folds right a cracking
• 15:36
  noise a popping noise and then a crunching noise
• 15:39
  oh you that would suck i would hate to hear that
• 15:43
  uh so that would be apple's fault because it's
• 15:47
  obviously the hinge that is malfunctioning so
• 15:51
  that would be apple's fault now if you get one
• 15:53
  of those green lines or lines in your in your
• 15:55
  display and you don't have the cracking noise
• 15:57
  it can still be the hinge it just that person
• 16:01
  maybe didn't have any audio uh from that hinge
• 16:05
  or felt the cracking the popping uh in your hands
• 16:10
  i don't know uh this i'm sure apple will look
• 16:14
  into this uh they're they hire you know people
• 16:18
  to look into issues like this so i'm sure they
• 16:22
  will if you purchased one you obviously can return
• 16:26
  it and or exchange it for a new one and i'm sure
• 16:30
  apple will take those and throw them in a room
• 16:33
  with some engineers r d team and try to figure
• 16:37
  out what the hell's going on uh with with these
• 16:41
  devices i think it's at the hinge now apple spent
• 16:44
  a long time developing this hinge it's supposed
• 16:48
  to have some special hinge that they've worked
• 16:52
  on for years obviously it's not perfected yet
• 16:56
  but this is why i always say i try not to purchase
• 17:01
  the very first generation of anything whether
• 17:04
  it's a new folding phone whether it's a vehicle
• 17:07
  um any first generation of a product line is
• 17:12
  always gonna have road bumps, hiccups, issues
• 17:16
  that the R &D team or the people developing this
• 17:21
  project did not see coming. They didn't plan
• 17:25
  for this to happen or that to happen. and typically
• 17:29
  on the second and third generation of a product
• 17:32
  is when you'll really start to see the improvements
• 17:34
  because maybe they're saying maybe when they
• 17:37
  get these devices back in they're like damn uh
• 17:40
  well you know what we could do this to the hinge
• 17:43
  a little better or maybe we could do tweak this
• 17:47
  over here or maybe somebody in the back is saying
• 17:49
  hi i told you we should have done this and that
• 17:51
  on it because if we had done what i told you
• 17:54
  when developing this we wouldn't have had this
• 17:56
  problem stuff like that pops up all the time
• 17:59
  so have i purchased a first generation of something
• 18:03
  i'm sure i have nothing comes to mind but i typically
• 18:08
  try to stay away from first generation products
• 18:10
  typically and this is why right i think apple
• 18:17
  i got word is already testing the iphone duo
• 18:22
  2. now with the iphone duo 2 it's said to have
• 18:27
  a slightly slightly larger display outside and
• 18:32
  inside it's not going to be a huge difference
• 18:34
  but it'll be we're talking about like one one
• 18:37
  millimeter maybe a quarter inch something like
• 18:39
  that so it's not going to be a huge size difference
• 18:43
  on the duo 2 and they're gonna you know input
• 18:48
  tweaks and modifications in the design from the
• 18:51
  hiccups and problems that they're having from
• 18:53
  the first generation duo into the number two
• 18:55
  and also i heard that on the iphone duo 2 this
• 19:00
  time next year that the second generation is
• 19:04
  going to have a telephoto sensor don't know why
• 19:08
  they couldn't put that on the first generation
• 19:11
  but they are planning on it for the second generation
• 19:15
  so if you planned if you're an apple fan boy
• 19:20
  and you skipped out on this one maybe you lucked
• 19:24
  out right or maybe people are canceling their
• 19:27
  orders i have no clue right and i'm not coming
• 19:30
  on here to to be a hit piece on the iphone duo
• 19:34
  kind of am but i'm trying to i'm trying to look
• 19:39
  at this launch you know full circle yeah i love
• 19:44
  to troll apple y 'all know that uh but i'm also
• 19:46
  trying to give you know real world pros and cons
• 19:51
  and stuff like that um uh what else there was
• 19:56
  one other thing oh the applications are not optimized
• 20:00
  now not all of them obviously but there's a number
• 20:05
  of applications that are still not optimized
• 20:07
  on ios for a folding device now i don't have
• 20:11
  any specifics as far as what apps are not optimized
• 20:14
  all that stuff can get ironed out as time goes
• 20:17
  on but one thing that i think would really bother
• 20:21
  me if i purchased one of these duos is that bar
• 20:27
  so when it's closed when you fold the iphone
• 20:30
  duo closed right and you just have that outer
• 20:34
  display you're looking at that outer display
• 20:36
  there's a there's a bar that goes down the entire
• 20:40
  right side of the display you cannot swipe back
• 20:45
  from there in there that that that bar it takes
• 20:49
  up like a fifth or a sixth of the screen of the
• 20:52
  real estate on that outer display and it just
• 20:56
  sits there so it's like why why do y 'all have
• 21:02
  who at apple thought this would be a good idea
• 21:06
  to put a just a bar down the right side now i
• 21:09
  think i think it has uh recent apps where maybe
• 21:13
  you can add certain widgets or applications to
• 21:17
  that strip uh that goes down the right side of
• 21:20
  that outer display but you can't swipe it's kind
• 21:24
  of in the way what if you want to go back what
• 21:26
  if you're on a page and you want to go back you
• 21:28
  can't you can't swipe back so if you're using
• 21:31
  it with your right hand your right thumb is right
• 21:33
  there be the easiest thing just flick your thumb
• 21:36
  and you go in reverse right i don't know why
• 21:41
  they would choose to do that now again that can
• 21:43
  be ironed out a simple modification in the code
• 21:46
  of the operating system and they will do away
• 21:49
  with that or or you can do what samsung does
• 21:52
  if anybody has a samsung galaxy device whether
• 21:55
  you have a tablet and or a phone there's that
• 21:58
  little bar the little tiny one and you can modify
• 22:02
  it how big how thick you swipe it open and then
• 22:05
  you have your side menu right there i think apple
• 22:08
  needs to implement that now probably didn't do
• 22:10
  that because they don't want to copy samsung
• 22:12
  but this is this is why in my opinion samsung
• 22:17
  foldables are way ahead are way better than apple
• 22:21
  apple's foldable little things like this They
• 22:26
  iron out all the kinks, all the bugs. The operating
• 22:28
  system in a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 is 100 times
• 22:33
  more optimized and or thought about than the
• 22:38
  iPhone Duo. Samsung has 10 years of R &D on top
• 22:45
  of what Apple has. So Samsung's already been
• 22:48
  through this. And I'm just saying Samsung, right?
• 22:50
  Motorola's had foldables for forever as well.
• 22:53
  So I guess I need to include Motorola. Oppo has
• 22:56
  foldables. A lot of these Android manufacturers
• 22:58
  already have foldables and have already gone
• 23:01
  through these hiccups. I've already gone through
• 23:02
  these roadblocks or what about this or what about
• 23:05
  that? They've already done it and ironed out
• 23:08
  everything. So that's why the stupid iPhone Duo
• 23:11
  hype is just that. It's just hype. I think the
• 23:14
  actual device sucks. I would never buy one. I
• 23:19
  wouldn't even use it if Apple sent it to me for
• 23:21
  free. I would probably just send it right back.
• 23:25
  So I don't really like foldables and I really
• 23:29
  don't like iOS. So that combination is not a
• 23:32
  good one with me. Let's see here. I heard Apple
• 23:37
  did not want to make too many because quality
• 23:39
  was the priority. That's correct. Well, if you
• 23:46
  know Apple, their quality control is more strict
• 23:50
  than Sam. It's more strict than anybody. is probably
• 23:54
  the most strictest, most tidiest, most buttoned
• 23:58
  up QC, quality control, not just in the technology
• 24:02
  world, but in manufacturing period. Now, the
• 24:06
  reason why I heard the product, they didn't make
• 24:10
  a lot of them, is not necessarily because of
• 24:13
  the tight quality control, but they simply don't
• 24:17
  have the manufacturing power. to put all them
• 24:20
  together as fast as they would like so they ran
• 24:22
  into production issues and actually they made
• 24:26
  less black ones than they did white models white
• 24:29
  ones and that was just simply because they regardless
• 24:34
  whether it was a supplier's issue meaning because
• 24:38
  if you're apple and you're making a new phone
• 24:40
  like the duo you have part suppliers so you order
• 24:44
  speakers from this from this part supplier you
• 24:47
  order ribbon cables from this part supplier you
• 24:49
  order displays from samsung you order a vibration
• 24:52
  motor from this person you order and we're talking
• 24:56
  we're not just talking one year we're talking
• 24:58
  they would like to produce millions of them right
• 25:00
  but from what i understand in their selection
• 25:04
  for part suppliers not all of their parts suppliers
• 25:08
  had a an abundance of parts to ship and or sell
• 25:13
  to apple so in look all it takes is one part
• 25:17
  supplier to be screwed on production now you
• 25:20
  can always okay uh damn my vibration motor the
• 25:25
  the the company i'm buying them from they only
• 25:28
  have a million in stock uh well let's go to plan
• 25:31
  b plan b has two million to sell us they can
• 25:34
  always choose another part supplier but if you're
• 25:38
  already in contract or maybe this uh Part supplier
• 25:43
  A said, yeah, we can get you 2 million of these.
• 25:46
  And then they signed the contract. They already
• 25:48
  shipped some parts out. But then let's say halfway
• 25:50
  through, they're like, you know, supplier A runs
• 25:54
  into an issue on their end, right? Because Apple's
• 25:59
  not making the vibration motor. They're not making
• 26:02
  the display. They're not making the ribbon cables.
• 26:03
  They're not making the batteries. See what I'm
• 26:06
  saying? Yeah, their logo may be on it, but they're
• 26:08
  not making it, right? So they hit a snag. in
• 26:12
  part suppliers for this phone and that's why
• 26:16
  the production is so far behind now if you're
• 26:20
  apple and you get stuck in that predicament you
• 26:25
  really have to ask yourself and i'm sure they
• 26:27
  had many debates on this should we delay the
• 26:31
  launch of this so we can have two million produced
• 26:36
  to supply to you know have enough for the demand
• 26:42
  or should we just put them up for sale and then
• 26:46
  ship them out as we get them in the warehouse?
• 26:50
  Pros and cons to each. They chose to go ahead
• 26:54
  and sell them and then ship them out as they
• 26:56
  get them in from the manufacturing plant. So
• 27:00
  there's two ways about going about it. And again,
• 27:04
  pros and cons to each decision, but I guess they
• 27:07
  wanted to get it out ASAP. It might, look, I
• 27:11
  don't have a lot of information in front of me
• 27:14
  because there's a lot of stuff that goes into
• 27:16
  these decisions. What about marketing? We've
• 27:20
  already spent $12 million marketing this thing.
• 27:23
  You know, if we don't do it now, the demand might
• 27:25
  fall because if you announce it, but then you
• 27:28
  wait two months to sell it, the demand is going
• 27:30
  to, you want to sell something when the demand
• 27:33
  is sky high, right? that's the perfect time to
• 27:37
  sell any product not just a phone but cars sneakers
• 27:40
  shirts watches mouses keyboards whatever they
• 27:46
  probably thought well demand and eyeballs on
• 27:51
  this product is sky high so we need to start
• 27:53
  selling them now and that's what they chose to
• 27:55
  do i probably would have waited a little longer
• 28:01
  but again you know you don't want what if there
• 28:06
  is a man what if there is an issue a manufacturing
• 28:09
  issue with some of these duos where this where
• 28:12
  the hinge is cracking and popping and busting
• 28:15
  the display what if apple needs to say timeout
• 28:18
  timeout timeout stop sales we need to go back
• 28:22
  and look at this hinge and see what's going on
• 28:27
  with it because if we can if it's a simple easy
• 28:29
  modification uh maybe we need to go back and
• 28:33
  modify this before we start producing more in
• 28:35
  the manufacturing plant because they don't want
• 28:37
  to ship out a ton of iphone duos where let's
• 28:41
  just say one percent of them meaning one out
• 28:43
  of every hundred that's a lot it messes up right
• 28:47
  they want theirs to be the look they want theirs
• 28:49
  to be down to like 0 .01 percent one every thousand
• 28:53
  maybe right um who knows right time time will
• 28:59
  tell but we just We just don't know right now.
• 29:03
  And that's always a possibility. That's always
• 29:08
  a possibility as far as production goes and having
• 29:12
  stuff that messes up. So anyways, that's your
• 29:18
  iPhone Duo. That's your issues that people have
• 29:21
  been noticing today that we're lucky enough to
• 29:24
  get one in the mail today. So I heard one, before
• 29:29
  we move on real quick, I heard one story. where
• 29:31
  my wife was telling me she saw somebody say this
• 29:35
  guy say online he said um he was at work he was
• 29:38
  out of the house he got notified his iphone duo
• 29:40
  was uh delivered it was shipped uh or yesterday
• 29:44
  delivered today and he wasn't home so he called
• 29:48
  his wife said yo my iphone duo is here can you
• 29:51
  grab it off the front porch and she did he said
• 29:57
  hey can you open it up to make sure it's there
• 30:00
  because you know every now and then you'll hear
• 30:01
  the stories these porch pirates or these these
• 30:04
  shady ups drivers not all not all but there's
• 30:08
  a couple there's a couple of y 'all fedex drivers
• 30:11
  what have you you know the get a little sticky
• 30:15
  fingers and they go home with a couple iphones
• 30:19
  in the pocket well there's been cases where somebody
• 30:21
  opens up the box and there's nothing in there
• 30:25
  well he that dude that was at work told his wife
• 30:27
  yo open it get it from the front porch open it
• 30:29
  up make sure it's in there right that's what
• 30:32
  she did she got it off the porch she brought
• 30:35
  it inside she opened it up oh what do you know
• 30:37
  a nice iphone duo then she said like every other
• 30:43
  phone huh why is there any stupid film on there
• 30:47
  let me take this stupid screen protector off
• 30:49
  right it must be on there so the screen doesn't
• 30:52
  get scratched during transportation right she
• 30:56
  peeled the matte screen protector off of the
• 31:00
  iphone duo her husband was pissed because he
• 31:07
  does not have apple care plus did not choose
• 31:10
  for the insurance and to get that replaced we
• 31:13
  indoor put back on i i don't know maybe you could
• 31:17
  tell me but it's like hundreds of dollars right
• 31:19
  i think with the apple care plus it's like 19
• 31:23
  bucks it's a no -brainer if you get one of these
• 31:26
  foldables and i know there's a lot of people
• 31:29
  watching this maybe you now as of today you're
• 31:31
  a your first time foldable buyer and owner if
• 31:36
  you do not have insurance for your apple iphone
• 31:41
  duo stop everything you're doing stop this video
• 31:45
  and go sign up for insurance like now because
• 31:49
  i can tell you with a with all the flips samsung
• 31:54
  galaxy z flips that i've had i've had all of
• 31:57
  them what are we on eight now i think three or
• 32:00
  four of them have busted and we're talking about
• 32:03
  a 12 inch drop on not even outside on concrete
• 32:06
  we're talking about in linoleum flooring fake
• 32:10
  wood flooring uh yeah it is 12 inches, boom,
• 32:16
  screen's jacked up. So if you do not have insurance,
• 32:19
  I would never even touch a foldable if I did
• 32:22
  not have insurance on it. So if you elected not
• 32:24
  to get insurance, don't be that stingy, right?
• 32:27
  You just spent two grand on a foldable, spend
• 32:30
  that extra 15 bucks a month, 20 bucks a month,
• 32:33
  whatever it is, it's well worth it. Because trust
• 32:36
  me, you are going to need it. Especially if you
• 32:38
  have kids, especially if you have a dog and or
• 32:41
  a cat. You're going to need it. Like, I don't
• 32:44
  have kids. What the hell do I need insurance
• 32:45
  for? That's what I thought. Well, I do have a
• 32:49
  kid, but I do have a cat. And my Z Flip, I don't
• 32:55
  know, five or six was sitting out on the table.
• 32:59
  And one of my cats walked across the desk. The
• 33:02
  claws, very sharp. She stepped on the Flip when
• 33:08
  it was open and her nail. those the displays
• 33:11
  on these foldables are plastic this is not a
• 33:14
  glass display like a regular phone right this
• 33:17
  it does not have a glass on the outside it is
• 33:20
  but i'm talking about on the inside it is plastic
• 33:23
  and even a cat claw will puncture the display
• 33:28
  so if you don't have insurance get it
