All four outlets report on Apple's response to reports of cracked screens and hinge issues on the iPhone Duo. The coverage is uniformly centered, focusing on the technical nature of the defects and Apple's subsequent investigation and replacement program. No significant partisan framing or ideological bias is present in the headlines, which primarily differ in whether they emphasize the technical diagnosis or the timing of Apple's public statement.
