Article

Apple announced that it will replace iPhone Duo handsets affected by screen defects shortly after the device's release. Users posted images on social media showing lines and cracks appearing on the inner display, particularly along the central crease where the screen folds. Apple acknowledged the issue and stated it affects "a small number" of devices, directing customers to contact the company for replacements. The extent of the problem remains unclear, as Apple declined to specify how many units were compromised, and some posted images may have been artificially generated.
