Apple's first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, is experiencing OLED display failures in a small number of units, with some screens going defective within hours of use. Affected devices show bright horizontal lines and dead pixels, and screen replacements reportedly cost half the $2,000 device price. Apple states only a small number are affected, while iFixit has begun teardown analysis.
Background
Apple launched the iPhone Duo in October 2026 as its first entry into the foldable smartphone market, priced at $2,000. The device features a dual-screen OLED display connected by a precision-engineered hinge.
