iPhone Duo Owners Report Cracked Screens Within Hours of Launch
Apple's first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, launched today at a $2,000 price point, and owners are already reporting cracked screens within hours of use. Reports on Reddit and MacRumors forums show photos of damaged inner displays with cracks around the hinge and bright lines across screens. One Australian owner claims their phone lasted only 6 hours and fewer than 20 openings before damage appeared, with Reddit moderators verifying the claim through additional photos and Apple repair paperwork. The cause of the failures remains unconfirmed, as Apple has not officially commented. An Apple Store technician reportedly called it a "day one manufacturing error," but this is not an official statement, and the total number of affected devices is unknown.
