iPhone Duo cracks are real, and Apple's 'small number' may not be so small

The launch of the iPhone Duo has been marred by reports of display cracking issues that have sparked significant concern among consumers. While Apple has officially characterized the defect as affecting only a ‘small number’ of units, mounting user reports and discussions on platforms like MacRumors suggest the problem may be more widespread than the tech giant is willing to admit. Many users have expressed feelings of frustration and alarm, with some describing a sense of ‘blind panic’ upon discovering cracks in their expensive new devices, which cost upwards of $2,000. Reports indicate that Apple has begun alerting its retail stores to handle the issue, suggesting an internal acknowledgment of the severity. Meanwhile, competitors like Samsung are capitalizing on the situation, utilizing the controversy to promote their own foldable devices. As the debate over build quality heats up, potential buyers are increasingly wary, highlighting the ongoing tension between cutting-edge technology and hardware reliability. Sources: PhoneArena
