Apple's foldable iPhone develops cracks along hinge after launch

Apple's new foldable iPhone Duo has developed cracked screens within days of going on sale on October 23rd. Several buyers reported hearing cracking sounds when opening the phone, with damage appearing near the central hinge. Some users said the cracks appeared after fewer than 20 folds. The phone costs around $2,000, so the damage has upset many customers. Bloomberg News spoke to more than six affected users, who shared photos and support documents. Apple has confirmed the problem, saying it affects "a small number" of devices. The company has already replaced at least one damaged phone. Early reviews of the iPhone Duo were mostly positive, though some reviewers noted that apps and the camera could be better.
