When the iPhone Duo launched and reports of broken units started flooding in, Apple fans were quick to conclude that this was either user error or a very minor batch of defective units. As the reports kept coming in from around the world, to the point where Apple had to acknowledge that the problem existed, people conjectured that this would be fixed pretty soon. It has not been fixed. If you get an iPhone Duo today, chances are you might end up with yet another “isolated incident” on your...

Did Apple say they fixed the issue? I thought they only identified the faulty materials, and they are limited to certain batches. So even if you got a Duo recently, but it was still from that batch, you will have the issue.


Crackgate can't end until those batches are depleted, and QC gets fixed for future batches. (Read: Stay away from purchasing the Duo for a while...)

Funny, I haven't seen any reports anywhere else except here. So is it clickbait, or what's the deal? I mean, I understand you want clicks, but this is ridiculous.

I own one and haven't experienced any issues personally. While I don't doubt that others are having problems, I trust that if these defective units are properly identified, Apple will replace them as quickly as possible.

So you only visit this site... because the cracking issue is literally everywhere. On IG, Twitter, Reddit, Threads, Facebook, etc. I know two people personally that had their Duos crack, one switched back to his 17 Pro and the other got a replacement from Apple.

No point in arguing with a crapple sheep. Apple is so overrated. All they survive off is their ecosystem. If Samsung had released a foldable phone that weight and that thickness they would have gotten flamed , I mean come on. They couldn't even beat the Pixel Fold in thickness and weight, and we're talking about Google. Just sad, crapple. And yes, I know Samsung has had their fair share of issues, but at least Samsung has the balls to fix the problem immediately.

Its common sense the issue is there and will always be there because it has the faulty component, like I said before sooner or later it will happen... But lets see
