iPhone Duo: Skipping AppleCare+ Could Be $1,499 Mistake - MacRumors
Apple has released the repair cost schedule for the new iPhone Duo, revealing that out-of-warranty repairs can cost up to $1,499. The company also detailed specific pricing for screen, battery, and cover layer replacements.
Why it matters
High repair costs for flagship devices underscore the financial importance of extended warranty programs like AppleCare+ for consumers.
Apple today listed its estimated repair fees for the iPhone Duo without AppleCare+ coverage, with the maximum fee in the U.S. for "other damage" set at $1,499.
If you only damage certain parts of the iPhone Duo, the fees are more manageable. For example, the repair fee for damaged back glass is set at $199.
If you eventually want to replace the battery in your iPhone Duo, that will cost you $229.
