iPhone Duo screens crack near folding hinge after launch

The new iPhone Duo is showing display damage shortly after its sales launch, with buyers reporting cracks near the folding hinge. The extent of the issue remains unclear hours after release. Reports emerged from China and Australia, with social media images showing broken screens along the central crease. One Reddit user said his device failed after six hours and fewer than 20 openings, hearing a crack when unfolding. He received a replacement at an Apple Store. Apple has not officially commented on the cases. A repair for the foldable inner display costs 1,149 euros in Germany without AppleCare+, which reduces the deductible to 99 euros. Further reports are needed to determine if this is a widespread problem.
