iPhone Duos Break Too
At least three early reports show the foldable display cracking at the hinge, raising durability questions as Apple’s first units reach customers and stores.
- Apple released the Duo this week, but users are already reporting broken foldable screens. Several Reddit threads have emerged showing units failing in the exact same spot.
- When Samsung released the first Galaxy Fold in 2019, units began breaking before launch day. Durability concerns have persisted with each foldable release as companies work to strengthen folding screen technology.
- With one owner noting their Duo broke after just 6 hours of use and fewer than 20 openings, users report significant failures. Social media users have already started using the hashtag #CrackGate to document these issues.
- Pictures of store devices show all three units failing at identical weak spots along the hinge. One unit broke during setup while another failed after 6 hours, suggesting a consistent design flaw rather than user error.
- While review units initially appeared functional, the widespread reports of cracked screens in the wild present a significant challenge for Apple. Observers are now waiting to see how the company responds to these early hardware issues.
