Abstract:
On the day the iPhone 18 Pro series was first sold, the Weibo topic "iPhone 18 Pro dropped for the first time" hit the hot search list, triggering a lot of attention and discussion among netizens. According to reports,
A blogger was unboxing the iPhone 18 Pro outdoors. This phone is burgundy red. When the blogger just opened the box and prepared to display it, the phone accidentally slipped out of the box. After picking it up, I found that there were many obvious scratches on the frame of the fuselage.
The whole process was completely recorded by the camera, and the video quickly spread on social platforms, and the topic became a hot search topic. Some netizens said that before others got the new phones, some people had already dropped their phones.
It is understood that the iPhone 18 Pro starts at 9,999 yuan, positioning it as Apple’s high-end flagship of the year. The iPhone 18 Pro’s first crash also made many netizens pay attention to the maintenance cost of the machine.
Apple’s official website shows that the maintenance costs of iPhone 18 Pro are not cheap: battery service price is 1,048 yuan; repair price for back glass damage is 1,298 yuan; rear camera damage repair price is 1,949 yuan; screen damage repair price is 2,698 yuan; repair price for screen and back glass damage at the same time is 3,429 yuan; and other damage repair prices are as high as 6,898 yuan.
The repair cost of iPhone 18 Pro Max is higher, and the repair fee involving the motherboard is as high as 7,298 yuan. In other words, if it involves complete machine repair, the cost may be close to or even exceed the price of an Android flagship phone. Some users also reminded that it is best to apply a film and a case on a new phone to avoid similar accidents.
It is worth noting that Apple provides AppleCare protection service for iPhone 18 Pro, priced at 1,799 yuan. With AppleCare, iPhone 18 Pro repair costs will be significantly reduced.
