Apple to replace inner screens on a small number of iPhone Duo units
Apple confirmed an issue with the inner display of some iPhone Duo phones, where the precision‑engineered hinge can cause cracking and a bright line across the screen. The company said affected owners can obtain a replacement through AppleCare. The problem has been reported by a handful of users and described as a fault in a small batch of hinges.
Why it matters: Device reliability issues can increase support costs and affect user trust in hardware design.
