If Apple was hoping that “Crackgate” was going to go away, tt hasn’t. If you want to catch up, try this, but let me get to the latest major development.
Youtuber JerryRigEverything posted a video on the iPhone Duo, and he found by introducing sand to the mix via the hinge, he could cause the phone to fail “Crackgate” style. As in vertical lines across the right half of the inner screen which is what some users are seeing:
You can watch the video here.
To Apple’s credit, the outer screen with Ceramic Shield 2 scratched at level 7 on the Mohs scale, but the inner screen only managed level 2. Though the matte coating on the inner screen makes this way less noticeable. The fact is that users will point to the way that the phone failed and use that as proof that the iPhone Duo has a design flaw.
Not that Apple will do this, but they need to come out and say something about “Crackgate” This is starting to get legs like another great Apple controversy which was “Antennagate“. And I seriously doubt that Apple CEO John Ternus wants it to get that bad.
