Apple has published repair fees for the iPhone Duo, revealing that customers without AppleCare+ could pay up to $1,499 for damage classified as “other damage.” That is the highest listed out-of-warranty repair price for the device and highlights the potential cost of repairing its dual-display design.

Less extensive repairs are considerably cheaper. Replacing the iPhone Duo’s back glass will cost $199, while battery service and rear-camera repairs are each priced at $229. Apple also lists a $49 charge for replacing the nano-texture cover layer positioned above the inner display.

iPhone Duo repair prices without AppleCare+

Apple’s full list of estimated U.S. repair fees without AppleCare+ is:

  • Cover layer damage: $49
  • Back glass damage: $199
  • Battery service: $229
  • Rear camera damage: $229
  • Outer display damage: $379
  • Outer display and back glass damage: $509
  • Inner display damage: $999
  • Other damage: $1,499

The inner display is the most expensive individually listed component to repair, at $999. Damage affecting both the outer display and back glass costs $509, while damage to only the outer display is priced at $379.

AppleCare+ reduces accidental-damage costs

AppleCare+ changes the economics substantially. The plan costs $19.99 per month, $199.99 per year, or $399 as an upfront purchase. With coverage, accidental-damage repairs are listed at much lower service fees.

  • Battery service below 80% capacity: $0
  • Cover layer damage: $19
  • Back glass damage: $29
  • Outer display damage: $29
  • Inner display damage: $99
  • Other accidental damage: $99
  • Theft or loss: $149

AppleCare+ does not eliminate the plan’s subscription or upfront price, but its service fees could make coverage especially relevant for owners concerned about damage to the inner display or other major components. The difference is largest for repairs that would otherwise cost $999 or $1,499.

iPhone Duo launch schedule

Preorders for the iPhone Duo begin Friday, October 16, and the device is scheduled to launch Friday, October 23. Buyers can use Apple’s published repair estimates when deciding whether to purchase AppleCare+ or pay for repairs only when damage occurs.

The listed prices are Apple’s estimated fees for the United States. Actual service arrangements may depend on the type of damage and Apple’s repair process.
