Following the global release of Apple’s first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, several users have taken to social media platforms like Reddit to report cracks appearing on the device's inner display. The handset, which carries a starting price of $1,999 (£1,499), has been on the market since Friday.

Apple has officially acknowledged the reports, confirming that a "small number" of units are experiencing a display glitch. While the company has recognized the problem, it has not yet provided specific details regarding the cause of the cracks or the scale of the impact. Technology experts currently suggest that the number of reported incidents is too low to determine if there is a systemic manufacturing defect or a broader hardware failure associated with the device's foldable design.

There is currently no disagreement between the reports and the company's statement regarding the existence of the issue, though the long-term implications for the product line remain speculative. As of now, the situation is being monitored by both consumers and industry analysts to see if the "small number" of affected units grows into a wider recall or repair program.
