If you are in Russia, just don't fold the screen. "Buyers Complain of Cracked iPhone Duo Screen Apple has acknowledged a problem with a cracked screen on the foldable iPhone Duo, but said it only affected a small number of customers and would likely require a replacement. However, this does not make it easier for Russian buyers. But maybe the problems are only in one batch, which will not reach our customers. The owner of the service center in Moscow, Oleg Zbyagintsev, says that such repairs will not be cheap - replacing such a part may cost about 100 thousand rubles. "Spare parts will appear no sooner than six months later, and so will the price," he says. At the same time, he urges not to dramatize: Apple's new products are almost always accompanied by rumors of massive defects, which are then not confirmed. Judging by crush tests, it takes a lot of effort to crack the screen. After analysis, iFixit suggested that the hinge support part might not go down enough when closed and put pressure on the screen. Vilscom technology blogger Valentin Petukhov mentions: "Samsung suffered a lot in the first generations - the screens exploded, people tore the protective film during disassembly, not knowing that it cannot be removed. The folding phone is still a complicated thing, and even Apple, despite the seven-year wait, could not avoid falling into this trap." Samsung, by the way, did not miss the opportunity to stab its competitor by releasing a video about a green apple trying to bend without success (in the video above).
