1
So I've only just learned that the new iPhone, the iPhone Duo, was out.
2
I saw JerryRigEverything's videos, the durability test, and the teardown of the device.
3
Not the most impressive showing, especially in that durability test there.
4
Good heavens, holy Toledo.
5
More like iPhone Puo, because that shit is poop.
6
So I learned that it was out, and then I was just looking up more about the iPhone Duo,
7
and I found out that it's actually got a good bit of problems.
8
There are a not small number of people that are showcasing very consistent cracks in their screen, always in the same location,
9
which has led to something called Hinge Gate, or sometimes referred to as Crack Gate.
10
I prefer the Crack Gate nomenclature.
11
I think that fits far better because when it comes to Apple, this shit is like crack.
12
And it is more than that.
13
For some people, it's a religion.
14
Apple fans have been a topic I've covered before they refuse to accept
15
when someone doesn't like their product or
16
if there's something wrong with an Apple product
17
or someone reports something wrong they're quick to attack them
18
that they must be like a paid saboteur a bad actor
19
looking to besmirch the good name of Apple for some reason there's something about the Apple brand
20
that has people care more about that than their own family
21
Like they marry themselves to Apple and will do anything to fight for them.
22
So when there's been this, you know,
23
pretty large amount of videos from customers showing that their device is more busted than my nut after only like 20 foldings,
24
they've kind of gone into like this group hallucination in order to like explain
25
that it's their fault or that a lot of it's AI generated.
26
It's very weird, very peculiar, because Apple themselves is replacing these devices, which is good.
27
I think that's, you know, they're not putting a big stink about it.
28
But for some reason, the Apple enthusiasts are the ones that refuse to accept the reality that,
29
hey, maybe the Duo does have like a manufacturing issue, or at least like a batch of a lot of them have a problem.
30
But anyway, let me show you what it looks like.
31
There's a video from a channel called Samtime
32
that showcased a montage of some of the more popular footage of these duos being broken.
33
And it is always the exact same location.
34
...pass the sit -up screen.
35
It's hard to write this off as some kind of anomaly or just a crazy fluke, like this freak defect that only a handful have experienced
36
when there are so many videos showing this in the exact same spot.
37
It's very, very consistent.
38
So this has led to a lot of people coming forward with their experience.
39
There's a lot of customers that are reporting this exact same issue in this exact same location.
40
There's clearly an issue afoot here.
41
Maybe it doesn't affect every single device in circulation,
42
because there's plenty of people that have it that can just willy -nilly flip it as many times as they want,
43
fucking clamp it on their nipples, do whatever they want with it, and it's not destroying their screen right away.
44
But there is a, again, not insignificant number that are experiencing this exact same problem,
45
so it is looking like there is some kind of manufacturing issue with the hinge.
46
That seems to be the main culprit here.
47
People are pointing to the hinge in this location, considering where this keeps presenting.
48
So why is this fault happening?
49
Well, the issue appears to be related to the hinge under
50
the display as the brakes seem to be appearing at the same location on the screen,
51
a spot where one user found a bump under the display.
52
I've seen a couple different videos showing that little bump through the screen
53
and that looks like Freddy Krueger coming through the wall on Nightmare on Elm Street, man.
54
That is something that is noticeable in some of the videos that are out there,
55
which is why people are pointing the finger at this hinge like basically where
56
that is and with the folding it's pinching the screen causing this issue
57
and in jerry rig everything's durability test obviously dust little grains of sand
58
and all of that that was garlic to a vampire the duo does not like dust
59
that can get in there
60
and fucking basically start slapping all the components around behind the screen
61
and just cause a plethora of issues but this is not a dust problem
62
or anything considering this is happening to people within only 20
63
folds like they haven't even had time to experience dust unless of course they got it
64
and then immediately just fucking belly flopped into the sand on the beach or something
65
but that's not what's happening even during startup in one of
66
them like there's no chance for it to even be exposed to any elements outside of what's in the device
67
which is the hinge here.
68
And that, again, seems to be where the issues are arising, at least in some of them, not all of them.
69
Where that complex hinge is, as people are speculating that this part of the hinge is pinching the screen.
70
Plus, it could be a good deal for Apple.
71
iPhone.
72
I think that speculation's spot on about the screen getting pinched in that location,
73
And I also appreciate that this point gets brought up because I'm inclined to agree.
74
I believe that this is something that Apple can almost view positively.
75
I'm sure many of you have heard about like planned obsolescence in the past where like devices
76
and products in general are just manufactured with basically a lifespan where eventually it'll start to degrade and decay by design.
77
So that way you have to upgrade or get it repaired.
78
So that way they can double dip because what incentive does a company have to give you something that works,
79
you know, forever or for a really long time?
80
Because then you only buy it once.
81
But if it's something
82
that can have some issues down the line where you are inclined to upgrade to the next version or get it fixed,
83
which is, again, something they can make money on, why not?
84
So it's something that's been like a controversial topic in the past
85
and here with the screens cracking like this as he brought as he brings up it is an expensive
86
repair and i know apple back in like 2019
87
or something tried to claim that they actually lose money on repairs
88
but i think that's a whole whole i had
89
so much fucking flip in my throat i actually just had a gargle
90
when i was hitting a hole right there i almost got you with some mongolian throat singing
91
but i think that's a whole load of barnacles i think
92
they do actually make a lot of money from this
93
and is something that they like as you know i wouldn't say a feature
94
because i don't think they're putting these out there hoping
95
that they all just fucking break as you're setting them up
96
but the fact is if you do go
97
and get it repaired they can make more money as opposed to just selling
98
it to you once now they get to come back into your piggy bank
99
when you come to them to repair it
100
so it is like an actual business strategy well this is egregious because customers are having these fail fucking instantaneously,
101
like frame one upon like folding it.
102
So Apple can't like hose you down for a huge repair charge at the moment.
103
So instead they're just replacing it and fixing it as I understand it, which again is the right thing to do.
104
But over time, should this continue, they will likely be able to make a pretty penny off the screen repairs
105
because of how expensive it is and what they charge for it
106
so yeah i think that is like a possibility and something
107
that they aren't necessarily losing sleep over i don't think
108
they're shedding big tears over it at the moment they probably were just hoping
109
that these kind of failures happened a little later into the lifespan would be my guess comments like these saying
110
they were all intentionally damaged others saying the cope of 24 pictures here out of how many million sold
111
it's not exactly a prominent issue no one got some of the highlights here from some of the apple redditors
112
which are a special breed so the idea
113
that everything you're seeing from people's busted devices here is all
114
intentionally damaged to besmirch the good name of apple is dangerously delusional like i think
115
you genuinely need to be institutionalized
116
if that's your belief i really cannot wrap my head around how someone like that exists
117
that everyone came together to make up these problems to attack apple what the fuck is wrong with you idiot
118
you actual moron bro these imbeciles it's crazy
119
and then the other person is saying like oh
120
it's only 24 pictures out of how many millions sold like they're celebrating like we sold millions
121
and only 24 issues we did it we did it reddit brother that's 24 pictures on just
122
that reddit and there's tons of videos as well
123
and those are only the ones
124
that are reported do you know how many people have probably experienced this issue as well
125
and instead of like posting it online on social media
126
or on reddit or something like
127
that they instead just immediately went to the apple store to get it replaced
128
so you don't know the actual amount it could be a ton
129
or maybe it is a little you don't know you only go by what you see on social media
130
and there is a lot there so you can extrapolate from
131
that like hey these all the people
132
that are showing the problem how many others experienced it
133
but never posted it it could be a lot could be a little you don't know
134
but he's speaking from a place of authority here clearly not a prominent issue
135
because i only saw these on reddit no big deal
136
this australian posted his iphone duo screen cracked within six hours of ownership
137
and the comments had the craziest cope yet one person saying where's the map protective film dude
138
it honestly looks like it was peeled off
139
And now you're crying about it.
140
Maybe I'm wrong, but seriously, look at the reflections on the screen.
141
One person replying saying, what are you talking about?
142
That's Shine.
143
is a stripe of pixels that are stuck on white.
144
But it didn't stop there.
145
This person calling it an AI -generated post, saying no one else in the store and everyone is wearing the same clothes,
146
and those don't all look like employees.
147
Nice touch, though, to black out your left screen to act like you're blotting out personal info,
148
but the rest of the picture doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
149
They're just hallucinating that photos are AI -generated now because Apple couldn't possibly have messed up in any capacity.
150
Get this man a padded cell, stat.
151
immediately.
152
He can't even tinker around with the notion
153
that maybe there was an issue with at least a batch of the iPhone duos that are causing this problem.
154
He jumps to it being AI.
155
This is a fabrication.
156
You're just looking to attack Apple.
157
I caught you, though.
158
Nice try.
159
A very clever touch to black out the screen on the left side to make
160
it look like you're blotting out personal details.
161
I saw right through it.
162
I'm literally Batman, by the way.
163
Yeah, I connected those dots.
164
I saw the line.
165
This is AI.
166
They're all wearing the same thing, by the way.
167
And you really thought we could fool...
168
You could fool us.
169
Yeah, it was a good attempt, but it doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
170
Try again next time, maybe.
171
I'm gonna go enjoy my iPhone duo.
172
That's perfectly fine, by the way.
173
Another person saying skill issue, to be honest.
174
Learn to take care of your things, bot.
175
The gall of an Apple asshole drone to call someone else a bot
176
because they were showcasing a problem they had with their device is criminal.
177
Like, that guy should actually be locked up for the lack of self -awareness there.
178
That's fucking crazy to me.
179
What are you talking about?
180
Take better care of your things.
181
This device just released and is showing an issue for a lot of people very early on into its lifespan.
182
As early as 20 folds.
183
On the startup screen, in another case.
184
Like, what the fuck, man?
185
What do you mean take better care of your things?
186
What do you do?
187
This guy probably traps it in, like, fucking epoxy
188
or something as like a showpiece on my iphone duo
189
this i don't even use it i just like to look at it
190
and think about apple yes like what do you mean man it's such a fucking loser
191
and there's so many people like that in the apple community it's insufferable
192
but yeah at least apple's replacing them like trying to get people working iphone duos
193
that are having this problem but like i said down the line
194
maybe this will continue to happen maybe it doesn't who knows
195
but if it does I don't think Apple's necessarily tore up about it
196
because they can charge a lot for the screen repairs here for them
197
but we'll see I suppose anyway
198
I just wanted to talk about a little bit after learning
199
about the iPhone duo's existence here out in the wild
200
and what's been going on with that that's really about it see ya

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
