Looking forward to reviews after a few months of use. So far all the foldables I've seen get destroyed quite fast.

They went over their multi-layer design to give it strength and flexibility, and noted over 100 components in the hinge alone. I'll be looking out for JerryRigEverything on YouTube to see how tough it really is!

The presentation went into extra detail about durability w/ a titanium construction, and the iPhone Air was indeed super durable with it. The hinge at-the-least looks like it could survive the dust test.

Apple has most likely stress tested its engineers to stress test this phone
