No, No, No—Don’t Peel the Nano-Texture Layer off the iPhone Duo’s Inner Screen
I can’t believe I even have to say this out loud: do not be the idiot who breaks their new $2,000 iPhone Duo by peeling off the nano-texture layer that covers the inner screen. This morning, YouTuber Quinn Nelson, aka Snazzy Labs, shared on X a list of AppleCare+ prices that Apple will be charging for various repairs, replacements, and servicing for the upcoming iPhone Duo. Notably, the “cover layer” for the inner screen will cost $19, which is good news, because it’s sure better than paying to replace the entire display if only the surface is damaged.
