Even if Crackgate wasn't Apple's fault, it's still Apple's fault. You said it and I agree 100%

Of course it's Apple's fault. They've had years of studying and data from other OEMs, and this is the slop they come out with? At least with Huawei's case with that fragile tri folding phone, it was a niche device that was pretty much only available in China. But it at least looked somewhat premium while the Dud just looks like a dud.

Anytime a company delivers a defective product to a customer the burden of responsibility falls on said company. This is logical and self evident. I can't imagine how anyone could argue otherwise. How a company responds to their issues is what separates the quick from the dead.

Once again it's bottom-of-the-barrel content at this point. There’s nothing left to write about regarding this issue, especially since it’s already been addressed and resolved. It's clear that articles like this are just clickbait, which explains why GSMArena has become far superior to PhoneArena.

A simple web search TODAY: No, the issue has not been formally resolved or fixed with a design revision or official recall.


Current Status of the iPhone Duo Screen Issue


• Apple's Response: Apple has acknowledged that an inner-display cracking issue is affecting a "small number" of units, pointing to potential mechanical or hinge-related pressure. However, they have not issued a formal recall or pinpointed the exact root cause.

• How Apple is Handling It: Affected owners are being directed to contact AppleCare for a device replacement. Replacement units are being offered, though stock constraints (especially for higher-capacity models or carrier orders) can lead to delays. Out-of-warranty repairs carry a steep $999 price tag.

• The Underlying Cause: Teardowns by groups like iFixit suggest the problem stems from precision and tolerance issues in the hinge mechanism—such as a support bar or curved rail not dropping or retracting properly when closed, putting localized stress on the flexible inner screen. too bad that you can advocate for the fruit stand.

This is old news, my guy, so keep trying. Apple is fully capable of identifying the affected units via serial numbers and has already instructed those impacted to get replacements at the Apple Store.

Working at Verizon, I've seen these same issues with pretty much every foldable, even the new ones from Samsung. Pretty sure Huawei had the same issue with theirs to. Like I tell any customer, cool concept but durability is not there.
