How many folds before it's e-waste? I'm guessing that even the battery will outlive early-generation folding screens.

    30k folds with forces applied optimally by a test rig, no clumsy humans involved?

      The official numbers will be from an optimal test rig, but someone did do a more "realistic" folding screen test recently by flipping a Flip3 manually until it died. Samsung rates it for 200,000 folds, and it lasted 418,500 folds before the hinge failed, with the screen actually still working. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k86vsQEDKlg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k86vsQEDKlg
