Apple has increased the fee for out-of-warranty battery replacement.. Find out about the new prices
Apple plans to increase the battery replacement service fee for out-of-warranty mobile devices starting in March next year.
The cost of replacing batteries for newly added iPhone smartphones, iPad tablets, and MacBook computers ranges from $20 to $50.
The fee change caught the attention of several Reddit users, who said that Apple mentioned the new change on its Fix These Devices page on its website but did not announce the new change.
On its iPhone battery repair and replacement page, Apple said, “The fee for out-of-warranty battery service is effective through the end of February 2023. All iPhone models prior to iPhone 14 have been reduced to $20.”
Due to the increased cost of battery replacement and repair, the out-of-warranty battery service fee for iPhone 13 and earlier is $89.
iPad Pro 12.9 computers 5th generation and earlier, iPad Pro 11 computers 3rd generation and earlier, iPad Pro 10.5 computers, iPad Pro 9.7 computers, iPad mini 6th generation and earlier, 5th generation and earlier batteries for a combined price of 99 and $119.
Battery replacement goes from $30 to $159 for all MacBook Air models and $50 to $249 for MacBook Pro models.
Note that this change is global and price increases may vary from country to country. For example, the UAE charges 269 AED ($73.24) for iPhone 13 and earlier battery replacement, while Turkey charges 1,399 TL ($73.64).
The increased service fee does not affect AppleCare or AppleCare+ subscribers or those who rely on third-party repair services.
