While there's a fierce race to buy Apple's first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, the company's repair list will make anyone sweat. Even a small mistake can cost lakhs.

iPhone Duo Repair Cost

Ever since Apple introduced its first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, the market has been experiencing a unique level of frenzy. As soon as pre-orders for this phone began, it went completely out of stock in no time. People are eager to get their hands on this new folding iPhone. But amid this pre-ordering, the company has made a revelation that could make anyone sweat.

Apple has released the full repair cost of the iPhone Duo on its official portal. If you purchase this expensive phone and accidentally lose it, you're in for a significant blow. According to reports, initial repairs start at ₹5,900, but major damage can cost millions.

How much will it cost to break both the display and back glass?

Since the iPhone Duo is a foldable phone, the company has included not one but two screens: one outer cover display and the other inner main folding display. If there's a problem with just the top cover layer, you'll have to pay an initial ₹5,900 for repairs. If the back glass panel on the phone cracks, it'll cost ₹20,900 to replace it.

If the phone's outer display is damaged, you'll have to pay ₹42,900. Furthermore, if both the outer screen and back glass break simultaneously, the company will charge ₹55,900 for a combo repair. The most shocking price is for the inner display. If the main screen breaks, you'll have to pay a hefty bill of around ₹149,000 to ₹149,900.

Camera, battery service and other major damage costs

Repairs to not only the screen and glass are also not uncommon. After a few years of use, if the phone's battery starts to weaken and you go for battery service, you'll have to spend ₹24,900 just for a battery replacement. That's the amount you can buy a good new 5G smartphone. Furthermore, if the phone is dropped and its rear camera setup is damaged, it's a risk.

So, the cost of repairing the camera has been set at ₹26,900. The most expensive damage on Apple's list is internal damage. If the phone suffers significant damage to the motherboard or the entire body, it will cost ₹224,900 to repair. This means that using this phone without a protection plan is a significant risk.

Strong features of iPhone Duo

Now the question arises: what's so special about this phone that makes it so expensive to repair? The answer lies in its high-end specifications. The iPhone Duo features a 5.4-inch screen on the outside, but when the phone is opened, a larger 7.6-inch display is revealed. The company has used LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED displays with a 120Hz refresh rate on both panels. For performance, it's powered by the brand's most advanced Apple A20 Pro chipset.

Built on the latest 2nm technology and featuring a powerful Apple GPU, this foldable phone runs on the latest iOS 27 operating system. The company claims this processor not only delivers fast speeds but also easily delivers a full day's battery life on a single full charge. For photography, it features two 48-megapixel rear cameras and a 12-megapixel front camera for selfies.
