Apple has published Canadian repair prices for its new foldable iPhone Duo ahead of pre-orders opening Friday, October 16, at 5 a.m. PT, giving buyers a look at how much it could cost to fix a damaged device.
The iPhone Duo starts at $2,999 CAD in Canada, but repairing its folding display could add a hefty expense for owners without AppleCare+.
According to Apple’s Canadian support website, replacing the inner folding display costs an estimated $1,499 CAD without warranty coverage. That’s the most expensive individual repair listed for the device.
Damage to the outer display is considerably cheaper to fix at $499 CAD, while repairing the outer display and back glass together costs $669 CAD.
Apple has also published estimated prices for several other repairs, including $69 CAD for damage to the replaceable cover layer, $269 CAD for back glass damage, $309 CAD for the rear camera and $319 CAD for battery service.
Then there’s the dreaded “other damage” category, which costs a whopping $2,249 CAD. That’s just $750 CAD less than buying a brand-new iPhone Duo. Yeah, you might want to think twice before skipping AppleCare+.
Apple says these are estimated out-of-warranty repair fees, so taxes may apply. Customers who mail in their devices for service could also face a shipping charge.
For Canadians considering Apple’s first foldable iPhone, repair costs are another thing to think about before spending at least $2,999 CAD. A damaged inner display alone could cost nearly half the price of a new device.
We’ve also included the iPhone Duo in our Best iPhone to Buy in Canada guide for anyone comparing Apple’s latest models.
For buyers worried about accidental damage, AppleCare+ remains the option for reducing repair costs rather than paying Apple’s full out-of-warranty prices.

You can’t afford it if you are concerned with repair costs. Same goes for luxury vehicles.
This is not quite the same as luxury vehicles where the high cost of maintenance regardless of damages or accidents…
but some people will get it to flex I guess
Wait did I miss the article of what it cost for in warranty damage?
How can you add a phone as best iphone when its not even released? That’s ludicrous. FFS wait til people try it.
What kind of article is this if you cannot even post the cost of the applecare+ warranty.
Mentioned it so many times but you failed to list the price… now people need to lookup this up somewhere else.
Why would you not post the cost of AppleCare+ replacement costs?
