Apple's first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, launched yesterday and has already been plagued by reports of broken screens. Users on Reddit have described a recurring issue where the internal screen cracks along the hinge area shortly after purchase. One user from Australia reported that after owning the device for approximately six hours and opening it fewer than 20 times, they heard a distinct cracking sound as the screen broke precisely along the hinge. The user stated there were no visible signs of external damage or anything caught in the hinge that could have caused the problem. This pattern of a bright line or multiple lines across the right side of the display, originating from the hinge, has been reported by numerous users. Apple has not yet issued a response to these reports. A few hundred units of the new iPhone have reportedly arrived in Israel and appear to have sold out quickly.
