said it once, and i'll say it again, the jerryrig guy is a fucking retard.
I'm not against stress testing phones. But stress test them for actual irl scenarios: leave it in a 70-80c degree car-like place to see how it reacts to heat
Was on the fence with iPhone Duo. But will definitely pass on the $2,000 phone after it failed:
▫️dirt test (gets stuck in hinge and magnetic closing doesn’t work)
▫️lighter test (inner screen can’t handle 10 seconds of direct flame)
▫️bend test (OLED screen gets line defect)

You've never brought your phone to the beach? Or had unexpected sand in your pocket?

Has millions of followers and views on videos… I think he’s onto something. Keep doing what you’re doing @ZacksJerryRig!

All of these are realistic scenarios; just on the extreme end to showcase what is the worst that can happen
1) dirt/dust/sand is a perfectly good example; just because you dont work around construction, dosent mean a potential owner will not; there are people working on beaches, construction sites, etc
Even regular tourists will visit beaches and almost everyone takes their phone with them
If they were to drop their phone on accident; there is potential for sand to get inside
This is obviously an extreme end; which is why people who work around sand can feel a little less anxious about drop level sand causing issues
2) same for fire;
A large portion of the world are smoker and it is very easy to expose your screen to extreme heat like fire or from a stray cigarette bud thats still hot
Someone could even doze off with a cigar in hand that could land on phone
Even for non smokers; there are many people who cook outdoors with barbecue and there is still a chance for hot coal to accidentally fall on screen while you have it open on the table to read a recipe or watch something
This is obviously on the extreme end but showcases that max the phone can handle
3) even the bend test; that is the most likely example
People are idiots; just because they buy a $2000 phone does not mean they are not idiots
People will likely use the inside screen more often than not; most people when keeping their phone down keep it face down and camera side up; if its inside your bed under the blanket or on your couch and you accidentally sit on this open screen it will cause the pressure to make it flex in the opposite direction; which then again is i guarantee you; the MOST common form of damage

Also if you watch his Samsung Fold 8 tests he does not use the same amount of sand/dirt on it. He uses a lot less and thus it passes. This is bias and not good. I have liked watching some of his videos as i just like se phones get beat up but after this it seems he is bias towards Android.

He's a retard politically, but he uses the same methods for every device.
Devices have survived stuff that the duo didn't.
Yes he always pushes to break things, it's good to see how far something *can* go.
But the iPhone duo died in circumstances where the z Fold 8 and even pixel fold didn't.
