Apple Prices iPhone Duo Display Cover Replacement at $19 With AppleCare+

3 articles · Updated · MacRumors · Sep 30

Summary

  • $19 is what U.S. iPhone Duo owners with AppleCare+ will pay to replace the foldable’s nano-texture cover layer over the inner display, Apple said.
  • Kate Bergeron said the layer can be removed and replaced if wear builds up or the center crease becomes more visible, after Apple engineered it to last as long as possible.
  • Apple has not disclosed the out-of-warranty price, and replacements will likely be limited to Apple Stores and authorized service providers rather than easy self-service.
  • The repair option targets a common foldable-display pain point on Apple’s $1,999 iPhone Duo, whose pre-orders start Oct. 16 and in-store sales begin Oct. 23.
