The iPhone Duo's Screen Will Cost $999 to Repair if You Don't Have AppleCare
- Apple released estimated out-of-warranty repair fees for the new Duo on Wednesday, with the maximum cost for "other damage" set at $1,499. The device launches Friday, October 23, with pre-orders beginning Friday, October 16.
- Starting at $1,999, the Duo is Apple's first foldable, with the most expensive model reaching $3,199. Its complexity and moving parts necessitate caution regarding potential repair costs.
- Fees range from $199 for back glass damage to $999 for inner display damage, according to Apple; Apple Authorized Service Providers may set their own fees independently.
- With AppleCare, which costs $399 upfront, repair expenses are significantly reduced; inner display damage costs $99 and theft or loss protection is $149 with the plan.
- Senior Tech Editor Jackie Thomas suggests users also purchase a case to mitigate damage risk, while Apple recommends bundling AppleCare for protection given the device's high purchase price.
