TL;DR
- The iPhone Duo will cost $999 to repair its inner display without AppleCare Plus.
- By comparison, Galaxy Z Fold 8 inner-screen repair costs less than half that amount, at $419.
- Other iPhone Duo repairs without AppleCare Plus can cost up to $1,499.
Spending $1,999 on a foldable phone is already a pretty big financial commitment, and one you might make before considering the cost of keeping it in one piece. With the iPhone Duo launching later this month, Apple has now revealed how much it’ll cost to repair its first foldable without AppleCare Plus, and you might want to be sitting down for some of the figures.
As spotted by MacRumors, Apple’s official repair estimates show that replacing a damaged inner display on the iPhone Duo will set you back a whopping $999. That’s almost half the cost of the phone itself, while the catch-all category of “other damage” carries an even more painful $1,499 fee.
