Apple\u2019s first foldable iPhone has been available for just over three weeks, and while there\u2019s plenty to like, some owners are having a frustrating experience. Reports of cracked inner displays started appearing shortly after launch, and although Apple acknowledged the problem and began offering replacements, new complaints suggest the issue hasn\u2019t completely gone away.<\/p>\n
More concerning, some owners are now reporting similar problems with their replacement devices. And when you\u2019re spending at least $2,000 on a foldable, worrying about whether its screen will survive everyday use is hardly reassuring.<\/p>\n
Even replacement iPhone Duos are developing cracks <\/p>\n
One of the more concerning reports comes from a\u00a0Reddit user<\/a>\u00a0who claims their replacement iPhone Duo developed the exact same display problem as their original device in less than 24 hours. Both phones developed damage in the bottom-right corner of the inner display, accompanied by a vertical line of defective pixels and bubbling along the crease. The owner says they were particularly careful with the replacement, regularly cleaning the display before folding it and making sure nothing could damage the screen. Unfortunately, that apparently wasn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n Ice Universe \/ Weibo \/ X<\/a> <\/p>\n And they\u2019re not alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
