Screens on the folding iPhone are breaking – and the internet is exploding at Apple

Early buyers of the iPhone Duo report the inner screen cracking and blacking out within hours of receiving the device. Similar defects have been documented in display units at Apple stores. The company has not issued an official response, and no replacement units are available for immediate exchange.

Early buyers of the iPhone Duo, Apple's first foldable smartphone, report the inner screen cracking and blacking out within just hours of unboxing. The defects have been documented in countries such as Japan, Australia, China, the US, and Canada, as well as in display units at official Apple stores in Toronto and East Asia. Users describe a crackling sound when folding, a black line along the hinge, and glowing green and white lines. Apple currently has no replacement units available for immediate exchange for the high-capacity models (1TB and 2TB) due to a supply crisis. The company is refraining from an official response. The device's price in Israel ranges from 8,199 to 12,199 shekels.
