Technik: Apple bestätigt Probleme bei einigen Falt-iPhones

Cupertino, California - Apple has acknowledged issues with "a small number" of devices from its first foldable iPhone model. Some users had reported in social media that the inner screen of their iPhone Duo would break or display a pixel error as a thin line after folding. Apple emphasized that this problem was occurring in only a few units and that the fault was usually very quick to manifest.

The website iFixit, which disassembles electronic devices to investigate their repairability, suspected that the issue was not with the displays but with the folding mechanism. This mechanism consists of approximately 100 individual parts made of titanium and is responsible for tightening the folded screen. According to iFixit, the problems seem to occur at a specific point, suggesting that a particular element of the folding mechanism could be responsible for the damage.

Other competitors' foldable smartphones have also experienced similar issues due to complex hinges which can be prone to errors.
