Uh-oh: iPhone Duo displays are reportedly cracking along the hinge on launch day - Mashable
Early adopters of the new iPhone Duo foldable device are reporting significant hardware failures, specifically cracks appearing along the hinge of the inner display. Apple has begun offering replacements, though the extent of the defect remains unclear.
Why it matters
Hardware defects in flagship products can significantly impact consumer trust and the financial performance of major technology companies.
While the iPhone Duo has been mostly showered with praise on its launch day, there has been some criticism of the device. Reviewers aren't fans of the FaceTime camera's output quality, many apps have not yet been optimized for Apple's first foldable device, and there's a new report showing that the inner display's crease at the hinge becomes more visible as users fold and unfold the device over time.However, just hours after the iPhone Duo was released, some users are going home to find what appears to be a major defect that makes those previous critiques pale in comparison.
