Here’s how much iPhone Duo costs to repair out-of-warranty

iPhone Duo pre-orders kick off this Friday ahead of shipping next week. If you’re wondering whether to get AppleCare+ or not, here are the iPhone Duo’s out-of-warranty repair costs.

Apple charges $1,499 for ‘other damage’ repair on iPhone Duo

iPhone Duo is by far Apple’s most expensive iPhone ever. It starts at $1,999, and the most expensive 2TB model will set you back $3,199.

Still, AppleCare+ adds another $19.99/month to the purchase price, which some users might not want to shell out for. But what kind of repair costs does Apple charge without AppleCare?

Here are the out-of-warranty repair costs for iPhone Duo from Apple’s website:

Estimated service costs

• Cover layer damage: $49
• Back glass damage: $199
• Battery service: $229
• Rear camera damage: $229
• Outer display damage: $379
• Outer display and back glass damage: $509
• Inner display damage: $999
• Other damage: $1,499

These are only “estimated” because while Apple uses these fees for product repairs, it says that “Apple Authorized Service Providers can set their own service fees and will provide their own estimate.”

Adding AppleCare+ reduces these costs dramatically. A few examples: theft or loss is only $149 with AppleCare+, battery service is free, front display damage is just $29 and inner display damage $99.
