The subreddit is filled with posts of people's devices breaking even on the first day of purchase. It's hard to know what the actual breakage rate is but it's certainly suggestive of problems. It would be crazy if Apple with all their typical polish managed to miss some major flaw.

I find it kind of funny they replace these defective units with another defective unit, but I guess that’s all Apple can do, for now.
Has anyone caught wind of any hardware revisions?
Presumably the cost of replacing these based on the higher than average defect rate is already baked into the price.
7 years in, foldables are still where they were. You had your fun wasting this r&d money, now give us smaller devices.
