  "account": "Apple has acknowledged a small number of iPhone Duo units experiencing issues with the inner display, following reports from some customers. The Cupertino-based tech giant stated it is \"aware of an issue impacting the inner display on a small number of iPhone Duo units\". Apple has advised users experiencing display problems to contact AppleCare for a replacement. However, no such incidents have been reported in India. The response from early users to the iPhone Duo has been largely positive, with developers rapidly updating their apps to leverage its unique form factor. The iPhone Duo competes with Samsung, Google, Huawei, Vivo, and Motorola in the global market. It features a passport-style form factor, with a 5.4 inch cover display and a 7.6 inch main OLED display. Powered by the A20 Pro processor, the device houses a 48 MP main camera, a 48 MP ultrawide lens, and a 12 MP front camera. The iPhone Duo, priced at ₹2,99,900 in India, launched alongside the iPhone 18 Pro series on October 23.",
