iPhone Duo buyers urged to get AppleCare due to high repair costs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The new iPhone Duo, priced at $2,000, presents significant repair costs for its foldable displays, with the inner screen alone costing $999 to fix out-of-warranty. To mitigate these expenses, purchasing AppleCare+ or AppleCare One is strongly recommended, as these plans offer substantially lower service fees for accidental damage, theft, or loss. While a protective case can help with the outer screen and general durability, the inner screen remains vulnerable due to its foldable nature, making extended warranty coverage a prudent investment for potential buyers.
