After so many days after launch and so many reports of broken phones, still there are alot people in denial of all these and claiming all these are fake.

Apple has already acknowledged these issues. Design or manufacturing defect, it's an issue and it's real. There were reports of many people in Singapore returning the phone.

I would hope people can stop denying these things happened. These reports are not from influencers, but general consumers and even some pro-Apple reviewers.

Denying in 3..2...1.

The limited warranty is limited to hardware, not borders.

The iPhone Duo display failure controversy may be far more serious than we initially thought.

According to a report by Chinese media outlet Jiemian News, a Foxconn employee revealed that Apple had previously relaxed certain quality control standards to ensure sufficient iPhone Duo supply amid production constraints. This could mean that some devices that would have failed stricter inspections had a greater chance of reaching consumers.

Even more concerning, the Foxconn employee claimed that the iPhone Duo production line has already urgently replaced a batch of components in response to the reported issues. However, overall production and shipment plans reportedly remain unchanged.

Now, let's connect the dots.

Back in September, reports suggested that the iPhone Duo's final assembly yield was only slightly above 60%, with the hinge and display being major manufacturing challenges.

Fast forward to today. Less than a week after its official launch, multiple users have already reported cracked inner displays and other screen failures.

This raises a serious question:

Did Apple already know about these potential quality risks before launch, but decide to accept a higher failure rate in order to maintain its initial shipment targets?

If the Foxconn employee's claims are confirmed, this could become a much bigger controversy.

Apple needs to explain exactly what quality standards were applied to the first batch of iPhone Duo devices, and whether potentially defective units were allowed to reach consumers.

For a device this expensive, customers deserve transparency.
