Apple Admits iPhone Duo Display Flaws, Offers Replacements

Apple has officially acknowledged display issues affecting a small number of its first foldable iPhone Duo units and announced free replacements, just four days after launch. Yonhap reports Apple confirmed the defects and its replacement policy, while Dong-A Ilbo notes Apple Korea delivered an official statement to domestic users, though it did not explain the cause or whether hinge design or manufacturing defects are involved. Chosun Ilbo adds that Apple says the problem is limited to a very small number of devices. The domestic launch price is 3.29 million won, and reports raise concerns about possible hinge defects and replacement inventory shortages. Korean media coverage is extensive, with outlets like Business Korea and Kyunghyang Shinmun highlighting user reports of screen cracks after limited folding cycles and the resulting 'crack gate' controversy.
