Some iPhone Duo screens are already failing, Apple says only a "small number" are affected

What the coverage shows

The coverage converges on Apple acknowledging a screen problem affecting a small number of iPhone Duo units and on replacements or AppleCare support for affected users, with several outlets also noting reports of cracks along the hinge or seam. 9to5Mac, The Verge and The Guardian US foreground the user reports and online posts that prompted Apple’s response, while Wired and Ars Technica give more space to the idea that the hinge may be implicated. The New York Times is the outlier here, focusing on a review of the foldable rather than the cracking reports.
