Fusion42 · 26 October 2026 · Fusion42 review

Recent iPhone Duo foldable models are experiencing a surge in inner screen cracking at the hinge due to assembly tolerance issues rather than design flaws, linked to Apple's reduced on-site engineering presence at Chinese supply chain facilities during mass production.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Consumer.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Apple’s pullback from embedded engineering at Chinese suppliers has opened a critical fault line in quality for foldable screens. You need tighter supply chain collaboration or risk replicating these production failures.
