TREE NEWS reports: Apple’s first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, has drawn screen-failure reports in its first week on sale, with two widely circulated cases: one unit at the Apple Store in Shanghai’s Lujiazui IFC and another posted by an Australian user on Reddit. The failures may be linked to the hinge, though a Foxconn source said actual production has not been affected.
iPhone Duo Foldable Screen Failures Reported in First Week of Sale
Two publicized failures in the first week matter less for their count than for where they surfaced: a flagship Apple Store and a social post, both highly visible. For Apple, entering foldables late means its hinge and display durability will be judged against rivals' accumulated iterations, and early anecdotes can harden into a narrative before data exists. The Foxconn signal that production is unaffected suggests supply is intact, but the open question is whether reported cases stay isolated or broaden beyond the two circulated examples.
