Crackgate? iPhone Duo Owners Report Screens Breaking Along the Hinge

macrumors.comCrackgate? iPhone Duo Owners Report Screens Breaking Along the HingeSome iPhone Duos are already experiencing hinge issues that cause display cracks, based on photos shared on Reddit and the MacRumors forums. Almost all of the display faults are right along the hinge, and most result in a line of bright pixels across one side of the screen. An iPhone Duo owner in Australia said his device cracked after being opened fewer than 20 times, and there was no visible damage beforehand. Had my iPhone Duo for about six hours and had probably opened it fewer than 20 times. I was showing it to a friend, and as I opened it, I felt something around the internal hinge, underneath the screen. As I continued opening it, I heard an audible crack, and the screen broke right along the hinge. There were no marks or damage on the inner screen's surface or the external hinge to suggest anything had been caught or damaged. The user visited an Apple Store, and Apple replaced the broken device right away. Apple is likely collecting defective iPhone Duos to research points of failure, and that research could lead to manufacturing improvements to reduce future issues. There are several images of broken displays from demo devices in China, where the โ€ŒiPhone Duoโ€Œ launched hours ahead of the U.S. The backstory for most of the images is unknown, and it's possible user damage is a factor. Some reviewers who got an โ€ŒiPhone Duoโ€Œ early subjected it to folding tests and didn't experience screen issues, but that's a small sample. With so many people getting iPhone Duos today, some failures are expected. It isn't known how widespread the issue is or whether we'll see an uptick in complaints over time. Hinge failures from normal use should be covered under the one-year warranty, and customers receiving an โ€ŒiPhone Duoโ€Œ today will also have two weeks to make a return.Related Roundup: iPhone DuoBuyer's Guide: iPhone Duo (Buy Now)Related Forum: iPhone This article, "Crackgate? iPhone Duo Owners Report Screens Breaking Along the Hinge" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums

It took far too long, but I'm finally caught up in ZZZ's story. Season 3 is absolutely smoking 2 so far. Really enjoying everything so far (except for Roxy getting basically no screentime I totally understand all the "She should have been an A rank Agent" now)

I dunno man the more I think about this the weirder it is. I donโ€™t think any Agent has had less to do in the story. Usually each character gets a small moment to shine to hype up their banner, but the most important thing Roxy did was get kidnapped???

I mean Sevarian isnโ€™t even out yet and he got a hype entrance cinematic and became a playable character for most of the end of 3.4. Honestly I think Roxy flopping had nothing to do with Yuri bait, I think she just literally had no impact on anything, and by extension, anyone.

The worst thing about playing ZZZ is I can't decide on a favorite character. Waifu overload bro. I don't play gachas I wasn't prepared for this.

I think there's about to be another chapter in the "Azumi's Head Gets Smaller to Make Animation Work Better" saga...

Having to make environments kills more of my projects than literally anything else. Need to come up with a story concept where everything takes place in a gray void and I'll be unstoppable.

I've definitely been feeling a bit of kilter concerning my art lately. Focusing has been difficult, and I can feel the desire to juggle a bunch of large projects that I'll almost certainly never finish building. Also the desire to Totally Change Up My Styleโ„ข for no reason is rearing it's ugly head.

Playing and posting about ZZZ has been a nice distraction, but its still a distraction. I gotta make a choice and get back on the bandwagon. You all deserve more STUFF <3

Think Iโ€™m gonna go for Norma when she drops in 3.3, ai still donโ€™t have a ton of Agents so her being flexible will help no matter what I end up pulling going forward, and apparently Iโ€™m just a fan of tiny stunners in this game ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

Messing w/ macOS 27 a bit after using Gnome for like six months and I cannot believe you can't interact with the Dock while in Exposรฉ view

My MacBook I've been failing to sell for a reasonable price has been sitting for like five months in a box and I suddenly remembered batteries don't like having no charge for that long. Charged it up and the battery health dropped from 91% to 86% ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Did they cut some story elements from ZZZ's campaign? I'm playing through everything and I've met up with Obel Squad and the Angels of Delusion and they both act like they already met Phaethon and I'm just like "huh?"

Okay so this might be a hot take, but I wish ZZZ's Thirens could be more evenly designed. Some like Pulchra or Zhao really lean into the animal influence, but then like Ellen is just a girl with half a shark coming out of her back.

Everyone: "Roxy is trash worst character ever low tier garbage waste of pulls!" Me: "Cute girl make tornado go brrrrrrr"

So for the teams I wanna build, I still need to get: Team 1 (Roxy, Rina, Soldier 0 Anby, Plugboo) Roxy's W-Engine Rina's W-Engine Team 2 (Koleda, Soldier 11, Ben, Rocketboo) Koleda's W-Engine Ben's W-Engine Plus I still actually have to pull Koleda ๐Ÿ™ƒ

The weirdest thing about starting ZZZ now is like I'll be playing Anby or something in the beginning of the campaign and her kit is like "I swing a sword and sometimes make lightning", then I'll try one of the events with the new characters and they're like "I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING"

Probably need to come to terms with the fact that odd are I'll never be a huge success with my art and find a way to be satisfied just being alive and making things, but also how do I kill the constant craving of ambition and the crippling fear of dying unfulfilled?

Really funny how AI bros will claim its democratizing art, then turn around and brag how they one-shot a video game with Astra or Opus for "only" $1100 in tokens...

Curious to see if Discord finally implementing ID malware will push people to an alternative, or if it's so ingrained at this point people will just get over it. Hoping for the former, expecting the latter.

The ramping on every motion is perfect. The sense of weight and impact is fucking godly inject it straight into my veeeeiinnnnnsssss
