Apple Acknowledges Inner Display Issues with New iPhone Duo Foldable
Following the launch of its first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, Apple has acknowledged reports regarding inner screen failures. Customers have reported horizontal bright lines appearing near the hinge area after folding or unfolding the device. While some reports originated from anonymous online forums, repair firm iFixit suggested that the complex hinge design may be susceptible to manufacturing variances or debris. Apple stated that the issue affects a small number of units and confirmed that affected devices will be replaced under AppleCare warranty. For out-of-warranty repairs, the company lists a cost of $999. Despite these hardware concerns, Apple noted positive initial user reception and reported that developers are actively updating applications to support the new form factor.
