Na $2k Wahala: iPhone Duo Dey Crack For Hand After 6 Hours - Apple First Foldable Don Enter Gbege

Apple first foldable phone, iPhone Duo wey dem sell for $1,999 don enter serious gbege.

Just 6 hours after people buy am, screen don dey crack for hinge side. For $2k phone, this na big wahala.

Wetin Dey Happen?

According to TechCrunch and Bloomberg, early buyers dey complain say dem dey hear loud "CRUNCH" sound when dem fold am, then crack just appear for middle of the 7.6-inch inner display.

One Australian buyer talk say e never fold am reach 20 times before e crack. E no drop am, e no press am hard — e just fold am normally.

For Reddit and MacRumors forum, plenty photos don full ground. Same spot — for the fold line, with bright white lines dey run across screen. Some people for internet don dey call am "Crackgate 2.0".

Wetin Apple Talk?

Apple don finally talk. Dem tell 9to5Mac and CNBC say: "We are aware of an issue impacting the inner display on a small number of iPhone Duo units. If users experience issues, they should contact AppleCare for a replacement."

Translation: Dem know say wahala dey, make you call AppleCare.

Good news be say, if your own Duo crack, Apple say dem go replace am, even if you no get AppleCare+. Dem no go charge you.

Wetin Cause Am?

iFixit wey sabi repair, dem think say na the hinge central support bar cause am. The bar suppose lower well when phone dey close, but e be like say e no dey lower, so e dey press the flexible OLED screen from under.

Na design flaw be that.

Remember, this phone launch Oct 23, and big reviewers like Engadget still give am 8.8/10 for design and performance. But this cracking issue don make people dey ask question: "Apple don really crack foldable code or dem rush am?"

For $1,999, you no expect your screen to crack in 6 hours.

If you get iPhone Duo, make you dey gentle with the fold for now, and if e crack, no panic — call AppleCare sharp sharp.
