Story summary
  • JerryRigEverything smashed the iPhone Duo in a series of destruction tests.
  • He found the inner display scratches at level 2 hardness, even with a fingernail.
  • The nano-textured screen hides scratches while on, but they reappear when off.
  • Dust poured into the hinge can jam the mechanism, preventing the phone from closing.
  • Removing the nano-texture layer increased reflectivity, making the screen resemble a vivid AMOLED display.
