Apple confirms hinge-related screen cracks in iPhone Duo
Apple confirmed that some early iPhone Duo purchasers experienced inner screen cracks within days of buying the device, and the company told affected users to contact AppleCare for a replacement, CBS News reported. Earlier reports from owners and outlets such as 9to5Mac and The Guardian described central hinge cracks and white pixel lines on the inner display, while a teardown by iFixit identified a pressure hotspot at the hinge as a likely cause. Apple subsequently acknowledged the defect in statements to the media, advising owners of a limited number of units to seek replacements through AppleCare.
