Some iPhone Duo screens are already failing
Multiple early iPhone Duo owners report OLED display damage characterized by bright lines of permanently illuminated pixels below the screen midpoint and lines of dead pixels along the display crease. The defects appear identical across affected units and result from damaged display layers failing to deliver correct voltage to pixels. Replacement of the faulty OLED panel costs approximately half the device's retail price.
Key points
- Early iPhone Duo units show widespread OLED damage with bright and dead pixel lines appearing shortly after purchase
- Damage occurs below the midline and along the fold, suggesting hinge-related stress on the display
- Screen replacement costs around $1,000, roughly half the $2,000 device price
