WASHINGTON ― Apple will charge customers an extra $20 to replace the battery on iPhones if the device is older than an iPhone 14, the technology giant said.
Starting in March, anyone with an iPhone 13, 12, 11 or X will have to pay $89 for a new battery, while replacements for iPhone 8, 7, 6, 5 and SE devices will cost $69.
Apple is also hiking the battery replacement price for the iPad by $20, the MacBook Air by $30 and the MacBook Pro by $50.
These prices are for customers who don’t have AppleCare+, the insurance program the company offers for a price depending on the device and model year.
The batteries on iPhone 14 models, which were released in 2022, are currently still under Apple’s default one-year warranty.
The company said it will charge $99 to replace the battery on those devices after the warranty expires.
Here’s what customers will soon have to pay for battery replacements for their Apple devices.
- iPad Air, Mini and Pro ($119)
- MacBook Air ($159)
- MacBook Pro ($249)
The prices cover a visit to an Apple store to have the battery replaced on site, or using Apple’s mail-in service. Customers can also buy and replace a battery themselves using Apple’s self-service repair program.
