The IT Nerd

Pictures posted to Reddit have led to a new “controversy” with the Apple faithful. You see, some people who got the brand new iPhone Duo are victims of “Crackgate” where there is a visible crack down the middle of the foldable screen. I mention Reddit because of this thread. Not to mention this thread which is local to me. I am sure there are others. But I think that I have made my point.

Now there are all sorts of people getting iPhone Duo models today. Thus you have to assume that failures are to be expected. And if even 1% of phones fail, which could be hundreds or thousands of phones given what Apple tends to sell, you can be sure that it it will be assigned the “gate” tag which may or may not be fair. But it is what it is I suppose. My interest lies in if Apple will say or do anything about it. My guess is not unless these “Crackgate” issues are widespread. But I am free to be proven wrong.

Just a thought here, could these unlucky users be holding it wrong?
