New iPhone Duo foldables show screen creases and hinge cracks
Original title: iPhone Duo Users Are Already Seeing a Big Old Crease in the Middle of Their $2,000 Foldable iPhone
Some owners report a crack along the hinge after fewer than 20 openings, and Apple has not commented.
Apple's $2,000 folding iPhone Duo, released two days before this report, is drawing complaints about a deep center crease and screens cracking along the hinge. One Reddit user said the display broke after fewer than 20 openings. iFixit speculated that a hinge support bar or curved rails could press on the panel. 9to5Mac reported replacements for a separate white-line glitch, while it remains unclear whether crease-only phones will be replaced.
Unconfirmed: Apple has not commented, and replacement coverage for crease-only phones is not confirmed.
- iFixit suggested a support bar or curved hinge rails may pressure the display.
- TheCaseTester reported a crease after 1,000 folds.
- CNET's folding rig had passed 55,000 folds at the time of the report.
