Apple acknowledged a defect affecting the inner display on a small number of iPhone Duo units, with some owners reporting screen cracks within hours of unboxing the $1,999 foldable device. The company announced it would replace affected units, though the hinge supplier denied responsibility for the failures. By late October, Apple had alerted retail stores to the display issue, and competitor Samsung began running advertisements mocking the screen damage problems.
