Apple's first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, is already facing durability complaints just days after launch. According to a report from Android Authority, several early buyers say their screens cracked after only a handful of fold cycles, with damage appearing near the device's crease line.
Affected users have been sharing photos and videos on social media, with some claiming the cracks appeared after what they describe as normal, light usage. Apple has not yet issued an official statement on the matter, though sources indicate the company may be offering exchanges for units showing this defect.
The reports highlight a persistent concern for foldable smartphones in general: the durability of flexible displays under repeated folding stress. Foldable devices typically command premium prices well above standard smartphones, making reliability issues particularly costly for consumers who invest in the technology.
For tech enthusiasts in Myanmar considering the iPhone Duo, this serves as a timely caution. Industry observers recommend carefully reviewing warranty terms before purchasing any foldable device, and using protective accessories such as screen protectors and cases to help minimize the risk of damage from everyday use.
