The iPhone Duo’s screen repair costs make Samsung foldables look like a bargain

Apple's upcoming iPhone Duo foldable device has unveiled its repair costs, revealing a steep price tag for fixing the inner screen. Without AppleCare Plus, replacing the damaged inner display costs $999, nearly half the device's $1,999 price point. For other types of damage, the figure jumps to an even steeper $1,499.
