Shortly after the iPhone Duo launched, a few users reported hinge issues that were causing cracks in the inner display. Apple has now responded to the reports in a statement to MacRumors, saying a small number of units are affected. The response to iPhone Duo from early users has been incredibly positive, and we are seeing exciting things from developers who are rapidly updating their apps to take advantage of its unique form factor.
Wish there was a way to gauge the extent of the issue. Since all the images show the crack at the exact same spot, if we knew how many devices were actually affected, we could speculate whether it’s truly a faulty batch as Apple is suggesting or a genuine design flaw. Time will tell, I guess.
Hugely embarrassing if it’s the latter since Apple’s been cooking this up for nearly a decade
I’m sure this is a situation where defects are happening at about the same small rate as any other new product has defects, but we love to hate on Apple so it’s “new iPhones are already breaking!”
Who is downvoting this?? It’s a good point. Multiply by a billion customers and any company is going to have “a lot” of really stupidly broken models.
Probably because it’s speculating baselessly in response to me saying I wish there was a basis to speculate on 🤷
So it’s agreeing with you??
Op wanted an actual gauge. Response was “Im sure it’s small in scope” with zero data.
Not agreeing in the least.
Like really? Cmon man.
OP just posted the article. If you mean top level commenter then they weren’t asking anything. The person who responded also said they don’t know.
