Apple iPhone Duo discussion thread

[c4765177]

recently i find that android fans are getting more annoying than apple sheep. Just look at reddit and other social media

cannot blame cos android is getting close to iOS lock down levels and similar in pricing, so android fanbois needa prove their 1000++ android is better...

Anyone tio"ed Iphone Duo display issue??

as reported here in HWZ iphone forum...some ask the local sales guy in apple store, there are many cases, all 1 to 1 exchange

 

[Mechafanboy]

More moving parts = more potential points of failure. Apple fans need to realise this by now.. And the dust insulation is horrendously inadequate sia... Foldables cost more and are less durable... That's why I am not getting any in the foreseeable future...

 

[Blindaim]

Use english dub. Suspect is gear jammed so stress accumulate at the weakest point and break. Therefore hit the screen.

 

[lampano]

Jin normal la, every time gotch new apple stuff, sure gotch bad reviews or problems. But ppl will continue to sarporks regardless

this is a very serious issue leh........

 

[Mechafanboy]

So based on the reports thus far, the hinge will break after 20 - 75000 folds.. it's russian roulette...

i rather use the money to buy a good desktop system...

Apple confirmed that some customers who snagged the new iPhone Duo are reporting that the screens are cracking near the seam. CBS News contributor Patrick McGee has more.



this apple was not supposed to be crunchy

"We are aware of an issue impacting the inner display on a small number of iPhone Duo units," Apple said in a statement to Reuters.

"If users experience issues with their iPhone Duo display, they should contact AppleCare for a replacement."

Some users have taken to social media to complain about cracks and lines that appeared near the centre crease of Apple's first foldable phone.

A smaller group even reported hearing a crunching sound as they unfolded their phones, before the screens cracked.

In Singapore, official prices for the iPhone Duo range from S$3,099 (256GB) to S$4,899 (2TB).

Apple responds to user reports of broken iPhone Duo screens on new foldable phone​

Key Points

• Apple’s first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, hit store shelves on Friday.
• Some customers have reported that the inner screen of the phone can break, showing horizontal bright lines emanating from the phone’s hinge.
• “We are aware of an issue impacting the inner display on a small number of iPhone Duo units,” an Apple representative told CNBC.

Apple’s first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, hit store shelves on Friday to considerable lines and long wait times for pre-orders.

But some customers who were lucky enough to get the $1,999-and-up phone on its first weekend have been reporting a pretty big problem: The inner screen of the phone can break, showing horizontal bright lines emanating from the phone’s hinge.

Apple on Monday said it was aware of the issue, which it said affected a “small number” of phones, and that it would replace the devices under its AppleCare warranty.

“We are aware of an issue impacting the inner display on a small number of iPhone Duo units,” an Apple representative told CNBC. “If users experience issues with their iPhone Duo display, they should contact AppleCare for a replacement.”

Apple says on its website that an inner-screen repair will be $999 for iPhone Duos that are out-of-warranty.

Most of the reports are from anonymous customers on online forums such as Reddit and X, and there are fake images online as well. But well-respected device repair firm iFixit weighed in on Sunday, after tearing down the new device and testing its resistance to dust, and theorized the issues may have to do with Apple’s hinge design.

“Many of these damage reports describe folding or unfolding the phone, hearing a crunch, and pushing past it,” said iFixit technician Shahram Mokhtari in its teardown video. “Right where the damage is happening, the hinge is shaped a little differently.”

“The hinge is actually dozens of parts, with ludicrous precision,” iFixit CEO Kyle Wiens posted on X. “A manufacturing variance or grain of sand can kill the fragile display panel it protects.”

Breaking screens have been an issue with foldable phones going back to 2019, and have been seen as one of the major roadblocks to the technology’s widespread adoption. That year, Samsung released one of its first folding devices, and reviewers quickly found that its inner screen cracked during normal use.

Early reviewers praised the experience of using the iPhone Duo when unfolded, especially for multitasking or media, but said that many apps had not been updated to take full advantage of the phone’s larger and wider screens.

Apple said on Monday that apps were already being updated for the new foldable device.

“The response to iPhone Duo from early users has been incredibly positive, and we are seeing exciting things from developers who are rapidly updating their apps to take advantage of its unique form factor,” an Apple representative said in a statement.

Okay lah. According to Apple only small number of iPhone Duo got this issue. So sure sell like hotcakes right?

Flipper sure earn right?

 

[A Better Tomorrow]

No worries. Good PR will state that all phone DUO screen will be duly replaced FOC, out of good will and further hype this phone for months to come.

Still a price to pay for marketing.
