Early iPhone Duo reports show inner-screen cracks near the hinge; Apple is replacing damaged units

Within hours of the iPhone Duo’s launch, owners posted photos of cracks and lines on the inner display near the hinge. Apple acknowledged an issue on Monday and said it is replacing damaged phones, but did not say how many units are affected; the article’s explanation is cut off.

For buyers and repair teams, Apple’s replacement response offers a remedy, but the reports point to a possible hinge-area failure that could affect the foldable’s durability. The supplied text does not include the teardown findings or establish the cause, scale, or frequency of the damage.
