Shortly before the iPhone Duo's pre-orders, Gadget Review summarised what Apple has and has not published about service costs for its first foldable. Several of the figures come from other outlets and we could not check each one independently.
In the United States, the report says the Duo falls under Apple's generic iPhone fee schedule: $29 for screen or back-glass damage, $99 for other accidental damage and a $149 deductible for theft or loss. A standalone U.S. AppleCare+ price for the Duo was not listed. The report cites the AppleCare One plan at $19.99 a month for up to three devices, with extra devices at $5.99 each.
Other countries show their own prices. Japan lists AppleCare+ at 29,800 yen a year, and India at Rs51,900 a year.
What is missing is any published out-of-warranty price for the inner display, outer display, hinge, battery or a full replacement. The article notes that rival foldable makers commonly publish such figures, so the omission stands out. Apple may add the numbers later.
