Apple raised its quality expectations to produce more iPhone Duo.

Following the release of the iPhone Duo, users reported a serious issue with the internal display failing after a cracking sound. Apple acknowledged the problem, stating it affects only a small portion of devices, which will be replaced for affected customers. Additionally, production delays have resulted in limited availability, with the initial stock selling out quickly, pushing delivery dates to early 2027 for late orders. Reports suggest Apple has lowered quality standards to increase production ahead of the holiday season, aiming for 7.5 million units by year-end. A Foxconn employee indicated that while a component batch was replaced, quality control measures remain unchanged.
