Following Friday's iPhone Duo launch, several owners report that the inner display cracked by itself, according to 9to5Mac.

The failures look alike: a crack down the center of the hinge, followed by a horizontal block of pixels stuck glowing white. Some said it happened during initial setup. The site has seen about ten unique cases, many posted on the iPhone Duo subreddit, so the scale is unclear.

Most affected buyers got a straight replacement at Apple Stores, but carrier customers had less luck because of limited stock, and one was told the damage came from a drop.
