Overview
- Apple published estimated out‑of‑warranty repair prices for the iPhone Duo on its support pages in mid‑October, listing steep fees for key components.
- In the U.S. the company put inner display replacement at $999, battery service at $229, and a catch‑all “other damage” category up to $1,499.
- Apple’s hardware lead confirmed the inner nano‑texture cover layer is replaceable and priced that swap at $49 without AppleCare+ and $19 with it.
- Prices vary widely by market: India’s inner‑display estimate is Rs 1,49,900 and Canada shows an inner‑display estimate of C$1,499 with some regions listing higher total service caps.
- Apple labels these figures as estimates, warns Apple Authorized Service Providers may set different fees, and points to AppleCare+ (about $19.99/month or $199.99/year) as the way consumers can cut repair costs sharply.
