iFixit: iPhone Duo is the most repairable foldable, but scores just 5/10

An iFixit teardown gave the iPhone Duo a 5/10 repairability score, higher than any previous foldable. The top screen layer can be replaced for $19 and both batteries come out easily, but fixing the inner display is slow and difficult due to heavy adhesive and hinge issues.

• iPhone Duo scores 5/10 for repairability versus 7/10 for the iPhone 18 Pro
• Top screen layer replacement costs $19; both batteries are quick to remove
• The ten-layer inner display is held by extensive, delicate adhesive
• Dust testing found enough particles reached the hinge to make it crunch
