iPhone Duo Fails JerryRigEverything's Dusty Durability Test
Apple's iPhone Duo has failed JerryRigEverything's latest durability test .

The bend test then left a permanent green line across the inner display, before the screen became unresponsive. The outer screen with Ceramic Shield 2 scratched at level 7 on the Mohs scale, but the inner screen only managed level 2, although credit was given for its matte nano-texture coating making marks "magically disappear."
