Repairing the iPhone Duo’s folding screen costs as much as a new iPhone

Apple's iPhone Duo, the company's most expensive iPhone to date, begins pre-orders this Friday with an expected shipping date next week. Priced starting at $1,999, the highest-end 2TB model reaches $3,199. However, AppleCare+ comes with an additional monthly fee of $19.99, which may not be appealing for some buyers. The question then arises: what are the repair costs for iPhone Duo without AppleCare? Apple's official website provides estimated figures, though it notes that authorized service providers set their own fees.

When it comes to theft or loss, the cost is $149 with AppleCare+. For battery service, the charge is waived entirely under Apple's warranty. Front display damage is priced at only $29, while inner display damage is a bit pricier at $99. These figures highlight the significant cost savings that come with AppleCare+. The article invites readers to share their plans for AppleCare+ in the comments section, sparking a discussion on the value of the additional coverage in protecting such a high-cost device.
