Apple has responded to reports that the inner folding display of its iPhone Duo can crack, telling affected customers they can contact AppleCare to arrange a replacement, according to Engadget.
The device became available only a few days ago and in limited quantities, GSMArena reported, adding that there have already been multiple accounts of damage to the inner screen. The same outlet noted that iFixit carried out a teardown of the iPhone Duo that looked at concerns surrounding the folding screen and the phone's hinge design.
Attention has also turned to how well the handset holds up under physical stress. GSMArena pointed to a bend test conducted by Zack of the YouTube channel JerryRigEverything, indicating the test did not go well for the device.
