Apple Offers Replacements After iPhone Duo Screens Develop Cracks.
Apple has announced plans to replace some iPhone Duo devices after customers reported cracks and lines on the inner display of the company’s first foldable smartphone.
The development comes days after the device began reaching customers worldwide, following strong demand that saw initial supplies sell out within minutes.
The iPhone Duo features a book-style design that folds along a central hinge, with analysts previously warning that its complex construction could create manufacturing and supply challenges.
Concerns about the device emerged over the weekend after images shared on social media appeared to show cracks and lines developing on the inner screen, particularly around the central hinge. Apple acknowledged the reports on Monday, saying the issue had affected a small number of units and advising customers experiencing display problems to contact AppleCare. “We are aware of an issue impacting the inner display on a small number of iPhone Duo units,” Apple said in a statement. “If users experience issues with their iPhone Duo display, they should contact AppleCare for a replacement.” The technology company did not disclose the cause of the reported damage or confirm whether it was linked to the phone’s folding mechanism.
