iPhone Duo screens crack along hinge for early buyers in Australia and China

Apple's new foldable iPhone Duo is showing early screen failures, with buyers reporting cracks and dead pixels along the hinge within hours of launch day. Apple is replacing affected units under warranty. Users in Australia and China posted photos of displays splitting along the fold after minimal use, with one device breaking after just six hours and fewer than 20 opens. No external damage was visible, and early reviewers did not report these issues. Apple has not issued a public statement, but retail stores are swapping broken units immediately. Out-of-warranty screen repairs cost $999, and the company faces durability questions similar to early Android foldables.
