iPhone Duo screens crack within days of unfolding

Users report hearing a crunching sound when unfolding, followed by cracks along the centre crease.

Apple's iPhone Duo, one of its biggest new launches in years, is drawing a growing number of complaints. Users say the foldable screen cracked after just hours or days of unfolding.

The problem is consistent: customers hear a crunching sound when they unfold the phone, followed by a large crack forming along the centre crease. Some have also seen white patches or other display problems on the right side of the screen.

The complaints are serious enough that durability is now a real question for the product.
