Apple's first foray into foldable phones, the iPhone Duo, is drawing complaints from early adopters. The device, which went on sale October 23 and retails from $1,999 (£1,499), has been the subject of reports on Reddit and social media platforms since its global release. Photos shared online show faults appearing on the foldable displays.
Some customers report that the screens cracked after just hours or days of use. It appears that the precision-engineered hinge may be damaging some screens. However, experts said there have been too few examples to determine whether there is a more serious problem with the device.
Apple confirmed it is aware of the issue, stating that it affects a small number of units. The company announced on Monday that it will replace the affected devices under its AppleCare warranty.
