iPhone Duo Owners Report Cracks in Apple’s First Foldable Handset

Owners of Apple’s new foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, are reporting cracks in the device’s screen, prompting the company to acknowledge a display glitch affecting a “small number” of units. Reports have surfaced on Reddit and other social media platforms since the handset went on sale globally on Friday. The device, Apple’s first foldable, starts at $1,999 in the US and £1,499 in the UK. While Apple has not issued a recall, the company confirmed it is aware of the issue. Industry experts caution that it is too early to determine whether the cracks indicate a broader design flaw or are isolated manufacturing defects. The reports come as Apple enters the competitive foldable smartphone market, where durability is a key concern for consumers. The company has not yet detailed its plans for addressing the affected units, but the response will be closely watched by investors and rivals alike.
