ادعای جنجالی: اپل برای افزایش تولید آیفون دوئو تا حدی از کیفیت چشم‌پوشی کرد

Recent reports indicate that Apple may have lowered its quality control standards for the iPhone Duo in an effort to reach high sales targets. Multiple reports have highlighted issues regarding the internal display damage of the iPhone Duo and its sensitive hinge mechanism. Acknowledging the flaw, Apple stated that the problem affects only a small number of devices and offered affected users the option to exchange their devices.

According to Chinese media outlet Jiemian News, citing a Foxconn employee, Apple relaxed quality inspection standards to ensure more iPhone Duo units could reach retailers before the holiday season. The source emphasized that while the production line replaced a series of parts, quality control criteria remained otherwise unchanged.

Apple has prioritized getting the maximum possible number of devices into stores, aiming for a final target of 7.5 million units before the end of the current year. A detailed hardware breakdown by the YouTube channel CuriousHagi revealed a critical flaw in the internal hinge mechanism, which serves as the primary cause of the display damage.

The snapping sound reported by buyers stems from a connecting piece in the hinge colliding with the upper backing plate, a component located behind the middle section of the display that is thinner than the rest of the hinge.
