Following the release of the iPhone Duo, there have been reports of screen breakages, with quite a few highlighting a very common point of failure for the hinge. In an attempt to get ahead of the story, part of Apple’s supply chain claims that its components are not the problem.
A statement from Fine M-Tec released on October 26 denies that its components cause the screen damage, reports The Elec. It also urges everyone to avoid a witch hunt for someone to blame until the real cause has been uncovered.
