What happened
Apple's first foldable, the iPhone Duo, has official out-of-warranty repair costs in Malaysia: RM4,749 for the inner folding screen, RM1,799 for the outer screen, RM909 for back glass, RM1,049 for battery, and up to RM7,119 for other damage. AppleCare+ costs RM1,499 and extends warranty to two years with unlimited accidental damage, dropping inner screen repairs to RM469 and outer screen/back glass to RM139 each, though the cheaper tier requires an unbent chassis.
Why it matters
If you're buying the iPhone Duo in Malaysia, the inner screen repair alone (RM4,749) exceeds the price of a new iPhone 17; AppleCare+ at RM1,499 pays for itself after one inner screen incident (RM469 vs RM4,749), but the RM139 tier for screen/back glass is void if the chassis is bent. Decide whether to budget for AppleCare+ at purchase, not after a drop.
Discussion angle
The RM139 repair tier for outer screen/back glass requires the chassis to be free of bent enclosures, otherwise it jumps to RM469; how would you check for subtle bending, and does that condition make AppleCare+ less appealing?
