Estimated service costs in Turkey for the iPhone Duo, which Apple introduced as its first foldable iPhone model, have been revealed. The starting price of the device in Turkey, which is expected to be released on October 23, was announced as 229,999 TL. Its US price starts at $1,999.
While pre-orders are expected to begin on October 16, the announced repair items have highlighted the cost of the foldable screen architecture in particular. The lowest estimated fee on the list is 2,789 TL for cover layer damage, while the highest item reaches 172,469 TL under the heading of "other damages."
According to the service list, an estimated repair fee of 11,239 TL is projected for rear glass damage, 13,029 TL for battery service, and 13,369 TL for rear camera damage. The amount rises to 21,519 TL for external screen damage, while the cost is listed as 28,369 TL in the event that both the external screen and rear glass are damaged.

One of the most striking items was the internal screen repair. The estimated fee for the internal screen, which stands out as the most sensitive component of the foldable structure, is at the 114,939 TL level. This amount corresponds to approximately half of the device's starting price in Turkey.
The 172,469 TL amount specified for more comprehensive repairs under "other damages" indicates the upper level of the device's out-of-warranty service costs. This item is considered a broad heading covering scenarios such as chassis bending or more severe damage that may occur to main components.
