iFixit’s Kyle Wiens says a ‘grain of sand can kill the fragile display panel’ as Apple confirms an iPhone Duo screen fault.

iFixit has performed one of its famed teardowns, this time taking apart the all-new iPhone Duo to determine how repairable Apple's first-gen foldable really is.

Two iPhone Duo teardowns point to different hinge problems behind early screen failures, but neither confirms the cause. Owners should stop folding the phone if its hinge suddenly tightens or makes unusual sounds.
