Apple responds to reports of iPhone Duo's inner display cracking
Key Points:
- Apple acknowledged an issue affecting the inner display of a small number of iPhone Duo units, where the screen cracks along the hinge, and is offering replacements through AppleCare.
- The problem appears early and impacts only a very small portion of devices, with most iPhone Duo units unaffected; users do not need AppleCare+ for a replacement.
- Reports of the issue emerged on Reddit and forums, though some claims were found to be fake or AI-generated, while iFixit suggested that internal components might be exerting excessive pressure on the display.
- Apple advised affected users to contact AppleCare directly for replacements, even if the device was purchased through a carrier.
