iFixit gave Apple's first foldable a provisional 5 out of 10, its best foldable score yet, and offered a theory for why some inner screens crack along the fold.
- iFixit gave the iPhone Duo a provisional 5 out of 10 repairability score, the highest it has ever given a foldable phone.
- Both batteries use electrically releasable adhesive: apply power, wait, and the glue lets go.
- Replacing the inner screen costs $999 without coverage, and iFixit says the repair is slow and delicate.
- Owners report cracks and bright lines along the fold. iFixit's model shows damage near the hinge's center support, and one simulation shows the support bar not dropping far enough.
- In iFixit's glowing-dust test, less powder reached the hinge than in the Galaxy Z Fold8 or Pixel 11 Pro Fold, but enough got in to make it crunch.
Why it matters: iFixit tore down Apple's iPhone Duo and gave it a provisional 5 out of 10 repair score, the best it has awarded a foldable. Batteries come out easily, but the inner screen is slow to replace and costs $999 out of warranty. iFixit also offers a possible reason for early screen cracks: a hinge support bar that may not drop far enough. Apple has not confirmed any cause.
