I have no idea Harry. I only answered Maggie. But I can imagine the with a normal process most of the products will be OK. But if there is a tiny speck of dust under the display it will bent slightly. And normal movement wil push it further and further until it breaks the screen. It can take months and only if that dust is at a critical spot it will lead to failure. So not everybody is affected. I'm not saying that this is the case here, it is only an example.

Or if the screens are cut out from a big plate of glass the ones that came from the edges have more internal stress. Then temperature changes only can be enough to crack it after a while
