00:02Apple's first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, is facing reports of broken inner screens
00:09just days after its Friday launch. Apple said Monday that a small number of the $1,999 and up
00:17devices were affected and offered replacements through AppleCare. Customers reported bright
00:22horizontal lines appearing near the hinge after folding or unfolding the device. While most
00:27screen damage reports came from anonymous online users, iFixit suggested the problems could be
00:33related to Apple's hinge design after examining the device. The repair firm suggested the problem
00:38could be related to the hinge's design, noting that manufacturing variations or debris could damage
00:44the display. Foldable screen durability has been a concern since Samsung encountered similar problems
00:49in 2019. Apple also said developers were updating apps to take advantage of the iPhone Duo's larger
