iPhone Apple’s Folding iPhone Duo Might Have a Screen Problem! (Teardown) - iFixit

>The iPhone Duo is on our teardown table—and its broken-screen reports deserve a closer look. We take Apple’s folding phone apart to investigate the display, hinge, dust protection, and what happens when something needs fixing.

>There’s encouraging engineering inside: electrically releasing battery adhesive, accessible components, and an outer screen that comes off intact. But the flexible OLED and hinge tell a more complicated repair story.

>We examine the nano-texture cover layer under a microscope, put the phone through our fluorescent dust challenge, and strip it down to the hinge to investigate the area where screen damage is being reported. The failure mechanism remains unconfirmed, but the need for a practical repair path is clear.

>Is this the most repairable foldable we’ve opened? And how much does that help when the inner display fails?

>Watch for our provisional repairability verdict.

>Have you experienced an iPhone Duo display failure? Tell us what happened—and whether you heard a crunch before the damage appeared.

>Can the cheapest, base-model Apple M6 Mac mini with only 16GB of RAM actually handle heavy AAA Windows games?

>In this video, we push the base M6 Mac mini to its absolute limits—no cloud gaming and no game streaming.

>We start by testing the native Mac version of Cyberpunk 2077 with the new 2.5 update and Apple Silicon's MetalFX Frame Interpolator, pushing over 110 FPS at 1080p and testing how 16GB of unified memory handles 20GB+ RAM loads using SSD swap.

>Then, we fire up GameHub (using Wine, Rosetta, and Game Porting Toolkit 3.0) to run x86 Windows PC games that were never meant to run on macOS or an ARM CPU—including Red Dead Redemption 2, Halo 3, Mortal Kombat 1, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and GTA V running at a mind-blowing 4K Very High settings at over 90 FPS!

Louis is trying to track down how pervasive signing people up for services trials is in Apple Stores. I am also curios if this is some isolate incidents or if it's every store. I was in an Apple Store recently and wasn't asked to sign up for anything but I also subscribe to a few services already.
