NEW YORK — Early buyers of the iPhone Duo, Apple’s first-ever foldable handset, have reported issues with screens cracking shortly after purchase, prompting an official response from the tech giant.
The $1,999 device launched globally on Friday, October 23, marking Apple's entry into the foldable phone market and serving as an early high-profile test for new CEO John Ternus. Over the weekend, customers took to Reddit and social media platforms to share photographs and accounts of sudden screen malfunctions. Several users described hearing crunching sounds or feeling increased resistance around the internal hinge during normal unfolding, followed immediately by vertical lines or cracks across the inner display.
