Some iPhone Duo Models Are Breaking. iFixit’s Teardown Might Explain Why

This story is from the archive. It was covered between 26 October 2026 and 26 October 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

Apple confirmed a “small number” of iPhone Duo units have an issue impacting the inner display.

What the coverage shows

All of the coverage centers on Apple acknowledging an inner-display problem on the iPhone Duo and on what affected users should do next, with 9to5Mac, The Verge, CNBC and Engadget all noting AppleCare replacements or warranty coverage. The framing diverges in emphasis: Bloomberg and 9to5Mac foreground customer complaints and Apple’s statement, Wired and Ars Technica lean on teardown or hinge-related explanations, and the New York Times alone treats the device as a broader review item rather than the cracking reports.
