  "account": "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. In comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold 8's inner-screen repair is significantly more affordable, costing just $419. The higher repair costs for Apple's new foldable device could deter potential buyers, especially considering the substantial upfront cost of the phone itself.",
  "summary": "Even the Galaxy Z TriFold looks relatively affordable to fix compared to the Apple foldable.",
