Apple to replace iPhone Duo units as foldable screens crack

Apple to replace iPhone Duo units as foldable screens crack

Buyers report a crunching sound and a crack along the crease within hours of use; Apple says only a small number of units are affected.

Some buyers of the iPhone Duo, Apple's first foldable phone, say the inner screen cracked along the crease within hours or days, Bloomberg reported.

Apple said it is aware of an issue affecting "a small number" of units and told users to contact AppleCare for a replacement.

Repair site iFixit believes a failing piece of the hinge is cracking the screen.
