Some iPhone Duo screens are already failing

Key points

• Owners of the $2,000 iPhone Duo say their screens are failing, with unusual resistance and a clicking sound when the device closes. Teardown work using CT scans by iFixit points to a narrowed section of the hinge below the ribbon cable.
• The support bar there may stop the hinge dropping far enough, stressing the OLED panel. Apple has not yet commented.
• Samsung faced similar early display damage with its original Galaxy Fold in 2019, which it addressed by redesigning the hinge.
