iFixit teardown: iPhone Duo is the most repairable foldable yet, scoring 5/10

appleinsider.com —

iFixit's teardown of the iPhone Duo finds it the most repairable foldable yet, scoring 5/10, but warns this is a low bar compared to the iPhone 18 Pro's 7/10. The device improves on rivals with an easily replaceable top screen layer, a $19 replacement fee, quick battery removal, and a flat motherboard that simplifies access. However, iFixit stresses fixing the inner screen is slow and difficult due to delicate adhesives. The hinge remains a weak spot, with dust reaching it despite an IP68 rating, and potential cable issues. iFixit will reassess after Apple releases self-service parts, but repair costs may be high, making AppleCare seem essential.
