Apple Acknowledges Screen Cracking Issues on New iPhone Duo Foldable
Following the recent launch of the iPhone Duo, users have reported significant screen cracking issues occurring near the device's hinge. Reports indicate that cracks and black spots appear in the center of the display, often accompanied by audible snapping sounds during use. Apple has officially acknowledged the issue and confirmed it is replacing damaged units, though the company has not disclosed the total number of affected devices. Technical analysis from iFixit suggests a design flaw where the flexible inner screen makes contact with internal hinge components, creating a stress 'hotspot.' Experts believe the center support bar may fail to retract sufficiently during folding, causing metal parts to press against the sensitive display. While Apple maintains that only a small number of units are affected, industry analysts suggest this could lead to future redesigns or potential recalls if failure rates remain high.
