I'm getting a 256 this week, and I had a z fold 3 as my last foldable. loved the shit out of it till sand got into the hinge and it refused to open fully. But generally not really a die-hard Android or iOS guy I just like trying different things.All Apple-related subreddits are either blind fanboyism or the biggest shitposting hellholes seen. X is all shitposting,Seemingly how bad and widespread are these cracks?

Apple messed up by copying others rather than letting others copy it. No-one asked for a foldable iPhone.

>>110158941Sure why not? Haven't heard about many defects, besides being assembled in india and having fecal particles in it.
>>110158976I thought India is higher in the ladder when it comes to QC than China?
>>110158941If you think the 20th anniversary (which will be next year,) or the iPhone 20 will be something special, then in the meantime pick up an older model going for cheap.I upgraded to the 18 pro from a 12 mini.

Samsung had its folding phone beta testers, now Apple does. Duo 2 is unlikely to be much better. They already said it might take until Duo 3 to have Face ID. iPhone 20 Anniversary will be the better buy next year, same as the 18 pro/max is best this year.

>>110165743>stealing a serial numbered device that spies on youniggers are beyond reason
>>110144705yes plastic can bend but it is not designed to be used as a hinge. this will continue to happen as long as you have folding screen tech. it will snap and break either the cost of the feature or wisen up and get a phablet or some other compromise.
This may be the issue. Apple appears to be using two different types of metal for the hinge. Likely they expand different when hot. Especially given the vapor chamber cooler.
>>110165856>apple created a bimetallic strip that acts as a thermometer and shatters your screen over a certain tempand they say apple is made for niggers. only cold climates for this fella
>>110165856Or as this dude says it is just made too thin and snapping, destroying the display. Unbelievable this wasn't caught by quality control. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtP7Q9Io90I>>110165874They made a $2000 phone 1-2mm thinner than they should have. Cheap fucking niggers!!!!
>>110165856so itodds really are unhinged innit doebeit
>>110165885Seems so. >>110165856Looks like the left side (the center piece) is titanium and the right side is stainless steel.
>>110165856>mixing metals on a mechanical partthose fuckers really went all out in baking in planned obsolescence in the duo
>>110165933Just as they removed the titanium from the 17 Pro that was in the 16 Pro. Apple just trying to save a buck by using cheaper stainless. It fucked them here.
>>110144705>https://youtu.be/wtP7Q9Io90I?t=74>the part that broke the screen also snapped in halfi think the hinge is literally folding back in the wrong direction when you open it
>>110166070>the hinge snapped so hard that it caused a dent on the titanium spinecan't make this shit up
>>110166070>>110166092that is some god damn fucking awful engineering. a trillion dollar corporation can't make a hinge without completely messing it up. no quality control at all. lmao.
>>110166070>>110166092>>110166103Dude purposely broke it by folding it backwards. It doesn't exactly explain why it is breaking from normal folding. That said it still is likely the same weak ass stainless steel part they should have made out of titanium like the center of the hinge.
>>110166113i get what your saying but the few unlucky people who had the same issue organically also had the same symptoms of "excessive resisitance" upon opening the phone right before the display got damaged
>>110166124In the end it doesn't matter. I like my iPhone, but Apple deserves to suffer for fucking this launch up. Hopefully the failure rate is Xbox 360 high.
>>110166113>It doesn't exactly explain why it is breaking from normal foldingi think the defects the casting quality get it stuck, people put in a bit more force and goodbye screen and hinge. like you say, you'd need titanium. even then you'd need some kind of structural support instead of being this thin bit of metal flapping away. whole things appears to be junk and needs to be redesigned. the casting defects are troubling signs and should have never made it to a production line.
>>110166147Apple I'm sure is going to play dumb, but they know right away the issue with the hinge. Or they wouldn't be buying 100 million worth of titanium.
>>110165856>>110166070>>110166092>>110166184Who designed the hinge?Where was the hinge made?
>>110145710It's not a silly gimmick. I bought an OG Pixel Fold on a whim because I needed a new phone and I thought that even if the inner screen breaks the outer screen will probably limp me through until I can get a replacement. It's about the size of an OG 3DS. Weirdly in my hands it feels exactly like you'd think a tablet folded in half would feel. It's heavy, but again, about as heavy as a tablet. I'd say I spend 80% of the my time on the phone just using the outer screen, but for those times when I know I'll have a little extra time and I want to just use my phone for a while, unfolding it and instantly have a fucking tablet in my hands is way better than I expected. I genuinely fucking love it. I installed Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate 1/2, Icewind Dale, and even Daggerfall on it, and it's just so fucking perfect for those games. I've been really careful with the inner screen so far, but it feels durable enough that as long as you don't treat it like a dumb ape it's probably pretty reliable.
>>110156468>>110166325That phone is barely a year old. You're still in the honeymoon period
>>110166335>That phone is barely a year oldThe OG Pixel Fold is from 2023 and I've had this one for almost 2 years. How long is a honeymoon period suppose to be?
The strongest metal will bend or break if the joint is badly designed. Can't believe they fucked this up so bad though. I mean I can but I bet they are kicking themselves for not listening to that one engineer who surely warned them.

>>110174103it's like they never learned from the iPhone Solo
>>110174155I for one want a super thin phone.4mm, please.I will be careful, scout's honor!
>>110174065They didn't steal the screen, its made by Samsung and the hinge is made by the same Korean company that makes the hinge for Samsung but it is Apple's design.
All I wanted was an updated mini. Hope apple is happy with this flop
I tried to switch to Apple once it was terrible. Bought a 17 pro Max, was $2100.The first thing I noticed is how laggy and stuttery the phone was for a flagship. Even my $300 Poco phone was smoother and had better software. It was so bad that Spotify was stuttering when simply scrolling. Not sure if it was a problem with my phone specifically or maybe was just a one-off thing but I ended up returning it.
>>110166184>but they know right away the issue with the hinge.they'd know now. during manufacturing probably not raising a concern during random QC testing because it's not in the right conditions to become noticeable. would require foxconn or contractor that made it to reconsider their QC testing, and at a minimum have some fucker physically check parts for defects. those casting issues are so small that it would slip by automated testing but fuck with tolerances enough to break everything. usually with cast products, there's a deburring stage. they all get put into a tumbler with sand or whatever and it grinds off the edges (pic related). probably not being done properly.
>>110146400ToT
>>110174484When are they gonna start blaming said Korean company for this fubar
>>110175137I'm sure Apple will first try blaming the user as that is literally their previous game plan ("You're holding it wrong") and if that doesn't work, they will turn on their supplier who then depending on if they really need Apple's business will either eat the blame or push back and say it wasn't us.It really seems like it was a limited batch of badly installed or machined parts so far so who really knows.
>>110144705all staged, couldn't care lessno tesla ever caught fire, either
>>110166765I'm surprised that apple hasn't left India considering that Modi is already attempting to extort trillions from Apple with bullshit (lol) fines. Like he did to countless other foreign companies that had left.

>>110175713>muh kulchurenot an argument, it is a forced "meme"
>>110145649The hinge is spring loaded and I guess some manufacturing defect causes a part of the hinge to snap and the spring tension punches it into the back of the display.

>>110201393Sounds like when the iPhone 5 came out, they had systems in the assembly phase that would examine the back panel pieces. And if the angle of the horizontal cut on one panel was off by a hair, it would match it with a neighboring piece with the same matching anomaly.
