Their video, along with a separate clip that peels the protective layer clean off the inner screen, gives the clearest look yet at how Apple built its first foldable phone and why some repairs will take far longer than usual.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-261968\"\/><br \/><iframe title=\"iPhone DUO Full Teardown : The Difference Is Shocking Hard To Believe \ud83e\udd2f!\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hTcvUnvwtaw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><noscript><iframe title=\"iPhone DUO Full Teardown : The Difference Is Shocking Hard To Believe \ud83e\udd2f!\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hTcvUnvwtaw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><br \/>\nThe matte cover film comes off easily, with little elbow grease required. Once it\u2019s gone, the surface underneath morphs into a glossy finish that looks almost identical to the one on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, and the fold line along the middle is much more visible. Apple has already stated that the nano-texture finish is essentially a light-scattering treatment designed to make the crease less obvious when using the phone in regular situations.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal aawp-product--ribbon aawp-product--sale\" data-aawp-product-asin=\"B0H126B3KV\" data-aawp-product-id=\"265855\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"tec02e-20\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Unlocked Android Smartphone 256GB Graphite | All-New Shape Content-Native Ratio Customized Processor 4800 mAh Battery 12 GB Memory Dual 50 MP Camera My FanCam\">\n<p>    <span class=\"aawp-product__ribbon aawp-product__ribbon--sale\">Sale<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31Z3ob0cGvL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Unlocked Android Smartphone, 256GB Graphite | All-New Shape, Content-Native Ratio...\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n<p>            Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Unlocked Android Smartphone, 256GB Graphite | All-New Shape, Content-Native Ratio&#8230;        <\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n<ul>\n<li>CREATED FOR YOUR CONTENT: Any way you turn it, the new Galaxy Z Fold8 gives you a fuller viewing experience.

Inside the phone, the dual-battery design is as expected, with one cell in each half of the chassis. Getting one of them out, however, necessitates first removing the back panel and outer display, making a battery replacement a bit more involved than on a conventional iPhone.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.techeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/22175140\/apple-iphone-duo-teardown-1.jpg\" alt=\"Apple iPhone Duo Teardown\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"\/><br \/>Kingmi also mentions the thin folded ribbon wires that connect things like the selfie cameras, as they appear fragile even when the phone is closed, and you can easily nick or tear them while working near the mainboard. You can still swap out various other components as standalone modules. The two selfie cameras, the dual back camera arrangement, and even the mainboard itself are designed to be replaced without disassembling the entire phone. The hinge and large foldable display remain the key exceptions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.techeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/22175149\/apple-iphone-duo-teardown-2.jpg\" alt=\"Apple iPhone Duo Teardown\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"\/><br \/>Both are difficult to access, which corresponds to repair costs of roughly $999 for the inner display and up to $1,499 for further damage that typically affects the hinge area. Those figures are far higher than what you\u2019d normally expect to spend for an iPhone repair, which explains why the phone\u2019s servicing prices drew a lot of attention before it even went on sale.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> Early Teardown of the iPhone Duo Reveals Dual Batteries and a Glossy Crease Beneath the Matte Film<br \/>\n<br \/>#Early #Teardown #iPhone #Duo #Reveals #Dual #Batteries #Glossy #Crease #Beneath #Matte #Film<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kingmi Mobile managed to pull an iPhone Duo completely apart on camera before the first&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24636,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[931,12292,720,6827,2183,1269,4119,14895,793,12598,1398,2768],"class_list":["post-24635","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech","tag-batteries","tag-beneath","tag-crease","tag-dual","tag-duo","tag-early","tag-film","tag-glossy","tag-iphone","tag-matte","tag-reveals","tag-teardown"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/apple-iphone-duo-teardown.jpg",1280,853,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/apple-iphone-duo-teardown-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/apple-iphone-duo-teardown-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/apple-iphone-duo-teardown-768x512.jpg",640,427,true],"large":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/apple-iphone-duo-teardown-1024x682.jpg",640,426,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/apple-iphone-duo-teardown.jpg",1280,853,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/apple-iphone-duo-teardown.jpg",1280,853,false],"covernews-featured":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/apple-iphone-duo-teardown-1024x682.jpg",1024,682,true],"covernews-medium":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/apple-iphone-duo-teardown-540x340.jpg",540,340,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/news678.top\/?author=1"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/news678.top\/?cat=8\" rel=\"category\">Tech<\/a>","tag_info":"Tech","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24635","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24635"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24635\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/24636"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24635"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24635"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24635"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
