Transcript of the segment
What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: The Verge.
Dr. Nina ByteThe new iPhone Duo is rated to survive six meters underwater for thirty minutes, and some owners say it pops or crunches when they open it in a dry room.
Kenji MoonfieldWait, it handles a swimming pool but not a morning?
Dr. Nina ByteiFixit tore one open and gave it a provisional five out of ten for repairability.
Dr. Nina ByteIts damage reports cluster just below the gap where a flex cable crosses the hinge, and an out-of-warranty inner screen repair from Apple costs nine hundred ninety-nine dollars.
Kenji MoonfieldNine ninety-nine, on a phone that starts at one thousand nine hundred ninety-nine. That's half the phone to fix the half that folds.
Dr. Nina ByteFive out of ten is a fair score. Apple published the repair manual on day one, which is either transparency or a forecast.
Kenji MoonfieldDry air is the real stress test. The safest place for a Duo is the bottom of a pool, closed.
