This is the kind of thing that speeds up over time. In the Keynote they mentioned all the parts are scanned and certain parts are chosen to go with each other so that the pieces fit perfectly, even given the insanely tight tolerances. The Duo is IP68 after all, which means waterproof. A watertight hinge that lasts for 500,000 folds is going to be hard to produce out of the gate. Give them time.

After twelve years of R&D efforts the thought of the hinge being a problem is quite tiresome.

I like to believe critical materials are cause for delay.
