Apple’s official DIY repair guides for the iPhone Duo now available

Following the global launch of the foldable iPhone Duo, Apple has released multiple repair guides and manuals for independent technicians and users to replace or repair individual components. CNBC reports that the launch of the device drew scalpers to the Apple flagship store in Beijing.

The iPhone Duo is compatible with the Apple Pencil (USB-C), which can be used to draw or write on both the inner and outer displays. According to MacRumors, the device requires a USB-C cable to pair with this specific pencil, and while the pencil can attach magnetically to the Duo's hinge for storage, it does not charge that way. The Apple Pencil (USB-C) lacks pressure sensitivity compared to the Apple Pencil Pro. Apple Pencil support is being added via the iOS 27.2 beta.

The device has a starting price of $2,000, according to Tom's Guide. Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing, Greg "Joz" Joswiak, stated that developers would have a "field day" with the device, noting that experiences like watching live baseball helped shape the product. Initial reactions to the launch have seen a divide regarding app optimization for the foldable screen.
