The company advises affected users to <b>contact AppleCare for a replacement<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\"><b>You don&#8217;t need an AppleCare+ plan\u00a0to get help<\/b> if your iPhone Duo is affected by this issue. Apple\u2019s acknowledgement suggests that affected devices may be eligible for a replacement, although users should contact Apple to <b>confirm their individual case<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Apple has not specified what is causing the cracks or whether they relate to the foldable display\u2019s hinge design, manufacturing defects, or another factor. With the iPhone Duo reportedly in short supply, affected users could also face uncertainty over how quickly replacement units will become available.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">If you\u2019re collecting your iPhone Duo soon, it is worth inspecting the inner display carefully and contacting Apple if you notice any cracks or abnormalities. Given the potentially high cost of repairing a foldable display, AppleCare+ may also be worth considering for additional protection against other accidental damage. Alternatively, do consider one of these cases to protect your iPhone Duo!<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Source: MacRumors<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardwarezone.com.sg\/mobile\/smartphones\/apple-acknowledge-screen-issues-iphone-duo-replacement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><br \/>\n<center><script>\n  atOptions = {\n    'key' : 'ab8cc34fbebd96e6c135978b4baca540',\n    'format' : 'iframe',\n    'height' : 90,\n    'width' : 728,\n    'params' : {}\n  };\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/www.highrevenueformat.com\/ab8cc34fbebd96e6c135978b4baca540\/invoke.js\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following reports of cracked inner displays around the iPhone Duo&#8217;s central hinge, Apple has acknowledged that the issue affects a small number of units.
