Apple has acknowledged reports of inner display cracking on a small number of iPhone Duo units. In a statement to 9to5Mac, the company confirmed awareness of the issue and advised affected users to contact Apple Care for a replacement. The problem reportedly arises when opening the device, with users hearing a popping sound from the hinge followed by immediate display damage. Apple did not specify the cause but emphasized that the issue affects only a limited number of devices. The recommendation aligns with earlier advice to seek replacements promptly through Apple Care. The iPhone Duo, praised for its innovative form factor, continues to see strong developer engagement despite this early hardware concern.
iPhone Duo buyers have taken to social media and forums to report cracked internal displays, often after experiencing resistance during unfolding. Apple maintains that the issue is isolated, though no technical explanation has been provided. The company’s response focuses on customer support rather than design flaws. As sales estimates suggest limited affected units, Apple’s warranty approach remains the primary remedy. Users experiencing similar issues are urged to act quickly for replacements.
