iPhone Duo screens cracking within hours, users report

mb.com.ph —

Apple's new foldable iPhone Duo, released Oct. 23, is facing early reports of screens cracking along the hinge within hours of use, though Apple has not yet issued an official statement. One user reported his screen broke after fewer than 20 opens in six hours, with an Apple store replacing it as a "day one manufacturing error." Other users have posted about inner display lines and cracks, while some have removed the screen protector. The iPhone Duo, priced from P159,990 in the Philippines with availability there on Oct. 30, 2026, sold out in many stores. Pre-orders had been delayed to 2027, and experts suggest AppleCare given first-generation foldable issues.
