Freewheeling Apple: changing an iPhone battery has never been so expensive
If you own an Apple device, this information will interest you. At the end of the first quarter of 2023, battery replacement packages will be entitled to a somewhat significant increase: 24 euros more for an iPhone repair. The current bill, of €75, will thus increase to €99 for the 14 range and earlier, except for obsolete devices (such as the iPhone 4 and those before).

Rising prices for iPhones, iPads and Macs
On iPad, prices will also skyrocket. The iPad Pro, Air 5, Mini and predecessors will see the battery replacement price increase by €40. What to encourage you to subscribe to AppleCare+, Apple’s insurance? It’s up to you, the service being billed from €99 for two years of support, with a flat rate of up to €499. Subscribers to the service will be covered by a free battery change as soon as the battery reaches less than 80% of maximum charge capacity.
The Self-Service Repair Option
So, if you prefer to keep your PEL while changing the battery on your Apple device, an option has been made available. It’s about Self Service Repaira maintenance and repair program for iPhones, iPads and MacBooks directly by the user.
How does it work? As an Apple customer, you can obtain suitable parts for your device as well as the repair manual on the Self Service Repair Store from a catalog of more than 200 spare parts and tools. It is even possible to rent tool kits for “only” €59.95. Apple’s ability to monetize every ounce of its business is a big inspiration at Android-MT.
