This isn’t the first time Apple has raised the price of iPhone battery repairs. In 2022, the Cupertino-based company also raised the price by $30 to $99 for the iPhone 14 series. Then, the price of battery repairs for older iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, and Apple Watches is also expected to increase.
According to the policy, defective batteries will be warranted for one year and Apple will replace the battery for free under the AppleCare Plus package, if the battery drops below 80% of its original battery capacity.
Apple says iPhone batteries are typically designed to retain 80% of their original capacity after 500 charge cycles under ideal conditions. Starting with the iPhone 15 series, that number has doubled to 1,000 cycles.
Not only are the batteries on the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max larger, they are said to have a new metal casing for better heat dissipation. This could be a factor that increases repair costs.
The cost of replacing batteries on older iPhones out of warranty from Apple varies by device. For example, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 will cost $99, while most older devices will cost $89—except the iPhone SE and iPhone 8, which are $69.
