If you’re considering the iPhone Duo without AppleCare Plus, brace yourself: a screen repair could set you back as much as the device itself. Apple’s latest repair costs see inner display damage priced at a whopping $999, equivalent to a new phone.
Other repairs fare no better, with battery service costing $229 and ‘other damage’ hitting $1,499. The cover layer damage is a more manageable $49, but back glass damage will still drain your wallet at $199. AppleCare Plus might ease the financial burden, but it’s a steep $19.99 per month for Theft and Loss coverage.
The iPhone Duo, priced at a staggering $1,999, will be available from 8AM ET on October 23rd. Will consumers opt for regular repairs or simply replace their device when faced with such high costs?
For tech enthusiasts and the financially cautious alike, the iPhone Duo’s repair costs serve as a stark reminder of the trade-offs between durability and cost.
