Apple confirms iPhone Duo screen problems after launch
Apple acknowledged screen issues affecting some iPhone Duo devices days after the foldable phone went on sale for $1,999.
Apple confirmed that some iPhone Duo handsets have developed screen problems just days after the foldable phone launched on October 23. The device has a starting price of $1,999 in the US and ยฃ1,999 in the UK.
Multiple owners reported cracks developing along the center of the inner display. Some users posted photos showing bright lines of damaged pixels extending from the fold toward the right side of the screen. Several owners said their phones made unusual noises before the screens failed.
Apple said it is aware of an issue impacting the inner display on a small number of phones. The company urged affected users to contact Apple for a replacement but has not explained what is causing the failures.
One owner said the screen cracked before setup was complete after opening and closing the phone only a few times. Another owner reported a failure within six hours and received a replacement from Apple. The extent of the issue remains unclear as Apple did not say how many devices are affected.
