That is to say, it is not that the user bumps in the normal use process after the purchase, which causes the screen to crack. The screen crack is caused by some hard foreign particles.
Although Microsoft did not specify what the hard foreign particles refers to here, since it is a foreign body, it is possible that something inside the fuselage entered and caused cracking from the inside.
