Apple's $2K Foldable iPhone Duo Impresses Critics, But Some Users Report Cracks

Apple's first foldable iPhone, the $1,999 Duo, has received critical praise for its design and nearly invisible crease, but early social media reports show some devices cracking along the hinge on day one. The device features a 7.6-inch matte display, a smooth hinge, and titanium construction, though reviewers noted the crease remains visible at certain angles and colors appear less vibrant. Reddit users reported hearing an audible crack when opening the device, with one customer receiving a replacement at an Apple store. The Duo's bulk, 5.4-inch outer display, and limited multitasking with a fixed 50-50 split drew complaints, while third-party app support remains uneven. Its camera system is inferior to the iPhone 18 Pro, though battery life exceeded expectations, and the device offers novel rear-camera selfie capabilities.
