Apple has released uninsured repair costs for the iPhone Duo, which AppleInsider reports can reach up to 75% of the device's retail value depending on the damage. MacRumors notes that a replacement battery is priced at $229 for customers without AppleCare+ coverage. Additionally, Apple Vice President of hardware engineering Kate Bergeron stated that the nano-texture cover layer above the inner display can be replaced; MacRumors reports this costs $49 without insurance, compared to $19 with AppleCare+.
The iPhone Duo is considered a more complex device, and 9to5Mac reports that Apple may have delayed the launch of the standard iPhone 18 until early next year to allow manufacturing partners more breathing space. This delay is likely intended to maximize production capacity and memory availability for the iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max, and the iPhone Duo.
