Apple has published its estimated repair fees for the iPhone Duo without AppleCare+ coverage, and the maximum fee in the U.S. for "other damage" is $1,499. Customers who damage only certain parts will face more manageable costs. Damaged back glass carries a repair fee of $199, while a battery replacement will cost $229.
Apple previously said the iPhone Duo's nano-texture cover layer above the inner display can be removed and replaced. Apple will now charge $49 for that replacement without AppleCare+. The full list of repair fees without coverage includes: 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; and other damage, $1,499.
Repair fees with AppleCare+ coverage were already known. AppleCare+ costs $19.99 per month, $199.99 per year, or $399 upfront. With coverage, battery service below 80% capacity is free, cover layer damage costs $19, back glass and outer display damage cost $29 each, inner display and other accidental damage cost $99 each, and theft or loss costs $149.
IPhone Duo pre-orders begin Friday, October 16, and the device launches Friday, October 23.
