Summary
Apple reportedly eased quality inspection standards for the iPhone Duo to push more units to retailers before the holiday season, according to Chinese outlet Jiemian News.
A Foxconn employee cited by the report said the Duo production line had already replaced a batch of components, though that source also said formal quality-control standards had not been changed.
The production push comes after Apple acknowledged inner-display damage affecting what it called a small number of Duo devices and told affected users to seek replacements.
A new teardown-style video pointed to the hinge as the likely fault source, showing a thin link-type element behind the inner display that may cause the cracking sound reported before screen damage.
