According to reports, the damage is occurring mainly around the central hinge area of the foldable screen. Some users have claimed that cracks appeared shortly after they first unfolded and began using their devices.
Apple acknowledged on Monday that it was aware of problems affecting the internal displays of a limited number of iPhone Duo units. The company reportedly said the issue had affected only a small number of devices.
As a response, Apple has said it will replace the affected units and provide customers with new phones. Further details about the replacement process, eligibility requirements and whether the company will introduce any hardware changes were not included in the available information.
The reported issue raises questions about the durability of foldable displays, particularly around the hinge, which experiences repeated movement during everyday use. Such screens require specialised designs to withstand repeated folding and unfolding.
Since the device is relatively new to the market and carries a premium price tag, customers will be watching closely to see how Apple handles the reported complaints.
The claims about screen cracking and the replacement offer are based on the supplied report; independent verification and additional official details were not available.
