Apple's first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, launched yesterday and is already experiencing significant issues with its internal screen. Reports emerging on Reddit detail users receiving devices with broken screens, specifically along the hinge area, within hours of purchase. One user from Australia described hearing a clear cracking sound when opening the device after only six hours of ownership and fewer than 20 openings, resulting in the screen breaking precisely along the hinge.
The reported malfunction involves a bright line or multiple lines appearing across the right side of the display, originating from the hinge. The affected users claim there were no external signs of damage or debris that could have caused the breakage. Despite the growing number of similar reports, Apple has not yet issued a response. A few hundred units of the new iPhone have reportedly arrived in Israel and appear to have sold out quickly.
