Several iPhone Duo owners have reported problems with the foldable\nphone\u2019s main screen. The complaints emerged on Saturday (24 October\n2026), just one day after the Apple device was launched.<\/p>\n
According to several posts on Reddit, affected iPhone Duo units have\nthe same issue. A dark line first appears on the internal screen along\nthe hinge, accompanied by an unusual white line stretching down the\nright side of the display, resembling a \u2018lightsaber\u2019.<\/p>\n
One owner affected by the problem is Reddit user u\/Midnight_Slump,\nwho said he had had the iPhone Duo for just six hours after collecting\nit from a shop.<\/p>\n
During that time, u\/Midnight_Slump said he had opened the phone fewer\nthan 20 times. While showing it to a friend, he felt something in the\ninternal hinge beneath the screen.<\/p>\n
\u2018As I continued opening it, I heard a distinct cracking sound, and\nthe screen broke right along the hinge,\u2019 u\/Midnight_Slump wrote in a\npost, as reported by detikInet on Sunday (25 October 2026).<\/p>\n
\u2018There were no marks or damage to the surface of the inner screen or\nthe external hinge to indicate that anything had been trapped or\ndamaged,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n
U\/Midnight_Slump, who is based in Australia, took the faulty iPhone\nDuo to his nearest Apple Store. He said Apple immediately apologised and\nreplaced the damaged unit with a new one.<\/p>\n
Apple is likely to collect affected iPhone Duo units for\ninvestigation to determine the cause of the problem. The findings will\nbe used to prevent the issue from recurring.<\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s the first day, I\u2019ve had it for just six hours, and this is\nalready my second phone,\u2019 u\/Midnight_Slump wrote.<\/p>\n
In addition to u\/Midnight_Slump, the iPhone Duo forum on Reddit has\nbeen flooded with other users posting photos of foldable phones with the\nsame lightsaber-like issue. Some of the photos appear to show iPhone Duo\ndemo units in China.<\/p>\n
The scale of the problem is not yet known. Hinge damage arising from\nnormal use should be covered by the one-year warranty, and customers\ncurrently receiving an iPhone Duo have two weeks to return it.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/just-one-day-after-launch-iphone-duo-users-complain-of-screen-problems-1792896616", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
