iPhone Duo hinge graphite pipe long-term bending failure risk
Problem
Apple routes a graphite pipe through the iPhone Duo's hinge for heat dissipation, but users report that repeated bending may cause the graphite pipe to lose elasticity over time, reducing thermal efficiency. Meanwhile, despite meticulous hardware attention, basic software like Music/Photos continues to decay, creating a mismatch between hardware investment and user experience.
Pain points
- Graphite heat pipes lose elasticity after repeated bending, potentially reducing thermal efficiency over time
- Despite meticulous hardware engineering, basic productivity software (e.g., Music, Photos) languishes without improvement, creating a disjointed user experience
Questions to verify
- Are you concerned about the long-term durability of the iPhone Duo hinge graphite pipe?
- Do you consider Apple's software decay an important factor in purchasing decisions?

I have very bad experience with graphite heat pipes that are moved and bent. I hope they found a good way of ensuring elasticity over a long time

I wish they put this level of care into their software. It's pretty shocking how nice their hardware has remained, while basic apps like Music/Photos etc. continue to decay.
