AppleCare+ pairs extended warranty coverage and technical support with monthly or annual payments.
For the iPhone Duo, an inner-screen repair can cost up to $999 without coverage, compared with a $99 repair fee for subscribers.
AppleCare One can bundle up to three devices for $19.99 per month.
iPhone Duo repair costs and coverage
For devices with high repair costs, like the foldable iPhone Duo, Apple sees the additional coverage as important. Without AppleCare+, an iPhone Duo internal screen repair can cost up to $999. With the subscription, the cost for the same repair drops to $99. The plan's prices have increased for some devices in 2026.
How the subscription works
Apple has shifted its model to a subscription model, meaning you pay monthly or annually instead of a one-time, prepaid multi-year warranty. You can add AppleCare+ to your device within 60 days of purchase. If you have multiple devices, “AppleCare One” allows you to bundle coverage for up to three devices for $19,99 per month.
