iPhone Duo Repairs Hit $1,499 Without AppleCare+, With Inner Screen Fixes Costing $999

Summary
$1,499 is Apple's top out-of-warranty repair estimate for the iPhone Duo in the US, about 75% of the foldable's $1,999 starting price.
Apple's updated support documents show the priciest single repair is the inner display at $999 without AppleCare+ versus $99 with it; replacing only the nano-texture cover layer costs $49 or $19.
Other repairs also drop sharply with coverage: the outer display costs $379 versus $29, back glass $199 versus $29, and combined outer-display-plus-back-glass damage $509 for under $60.
Battery replacement costs $229 without AppleCare+ and is free with it if health falls below 80%, but the plan itself costs $19.99 monthly or $199.99 annually with Theft and Loss.
That pricing leaves a trade-off for long-term owners: a year of coverage plus a $99 inner-screen repair totals about $299 before tax, far below the $999 uninsured bill.
