Apple entering into foldable phones is the highlight of the year. It’s not like people are experiencing foldable devices for the first time. Still, the iPhone Duo coming from Apple is offering legit Apple users a new experience. However, the dual screen and foldable pixels are bringing up a new concern about screen damage. What if it breaks, cracks, or gets the famous green lines? So, our Apple partner GNEXT has you covered. It is offering Shield+ with iPhone Duo which promises a year’s iPhone Duo Extended Warranty, along with a free front and back glass fix.
With every iPhone that you buy from Techroid, whether it be iPhone 18 Pro Max or iPhone Duo, GNEXT Shield+ comes as a complimentary perk. Moreover, you can ditch the premium amount on these devices when buying from authorized Apple resellers in Pakistan.
What Is GNEXT Shield+?
GNEXT is an Apple Authorized Distributor in Pakistan. Shield+ is its own care plan for iPhones which first came out in 2025. Now, it also covers the iPhone Duo.
Every iPhone Duo comes with Apple’s one-year warranty. However, Shield+ gives you more, like:
- One extra year of warranty. That makes 2 years in total.
- One front screen fix. This helps if your screen cracks.
- One back glass fix. This helps if the back breaks.
- Cover outside Pakistan. This depends on Apple service centres and terms.
Shield+ at a Glance
| What you get | Apple warranty only | With Shield+ |
|---|---|---|
| Warranty | 1 year | 2 years |
| Screen fix | Not for drops | 1 free fix |
| Back glass fix | Not for drops | 1 free fix |
| Cover abroad | Apple terms | Yes, with terms |
Why Does the iPhone Duo Extended Warranty Matter?
A phone that folds has more parts. So, it has more things that can break. The iPhone Duo has two screens. Its outer screen is 5.4 inches, while the inner screen is 7.6 inches. It also has a hinge in the middle. So, each part costs a lot to fix.
Recent reports add to this concern. Some users found faults in the inner screen. Apple said only a few phones had this problem. Apple has also asked affected owners to contact AppleCare for a replacement. CNBC and Tech Times both shared this.
But what if your warranty runs out? In that case, Apple lists an inner screen repair at $999 (US price), as CNBC reports. That is a huge bill. However, an iPhone Duo Extended Warranty adds a second year, so a fault like this may still be covered.
For most mobile users, screen damage is common. However, for iPhone users, it’s a matter of fortune, so getting this plan free with your purchase is a big win.
Questions to Ask About Your iPhone Duo Extended Warranty
Some Shield+ terms are not public yet. So, ask the seller these questions first:
- Does the screen fix cover the inner screen, the outer screen, or both?
- Does it cover drops and cracks?
- When does the extra year start?
- Do I need to sign up for the plan?
- What is not covered?
Also, keep your bill and warranty card safe. You will need them to make a claim.
