Making a phone fold in half? Easy. Making it fold in half thousands of times without falling apart? That's where things get interesting. Here's a closer look at the iPhone Duo's exposed hinge mechanism, where a whole lot of tiny components are doing some very heavy lifting.

We tore down the iPhone Duo and found the most repairable foldable phone yet. The batteries released cleanly and the outer screen is simple to remove. The same can't be said for the inner display, which will be an expensive and time-consuming repair when it breaks. Another variable is the hinge, which is susceptible to dust, dirt, and other small particles that may find their way inside. For a first attempt, Apple did well. But if a solid repairable phone is what you're looking for, it still might be best to stick with something that doesn't fold. Read more at the link below. — #iFixit #RightoRepair #FixTheWorld

Apple has released its repair price sheet for the iPhone Duo and owners should be prepared to spend some serious cash when things break. Need to fix the back glass? $199. What about the rear camera? $229. Did you damage the inner display? Better get your wallet ready. While we don't have our hands on the Duo just yet, the numbers make it clear this will be a difficult and expensive phone to fix. Read more at the link below. — #iFixit #RightoRepair #FixTheWorld
