Apple is hiking the price of a battery replacement for certain iPhone and iPad models by $20 starting March 1st.
If you are an AppleCare+ member, you pay absolutely nothing for a regular battery replacement for your iPhone. AppleCare+ provides unlimited protection from accidental damage. AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss will protect you from up to two incidents involving the loss and theft of your handset. The deductible is $149 for loss and theft. Standard AppleCare+ is $199 for two years of coverage, or you can pay 24 monthly payments of $9.99.
In other words, even a tiny crack or another issue could raise the price of your battery replacement to a figure that you never considered. Back in 2018, when Apple was replacing batteries at a huge discount because of"batterygate," this controversy was big news. Apple had issued an iOS update. These older batteries couldn't power the phone to handle certain tasks leading the device to shut down.
Apple apologized and offered to perform a battery replacement for $29 on certain models for what was, at the time, a 63% discount. But certain iPhone users in the U.K. were sent notices that their $29 battery replacement was going to cost much more because Apple had to make expensive repairs on their iPhone before it could change the battery. One iPhone owner said that he would
have to pay the equivalent of $271 to fix a small ding on his handset before Apple would replace the batterySo when we saw the fine print on Apple's support page, naturally we thought about what happened years ago. If you have any type of nick or crack on the glass or the case of your iPhone, be prepared to shell out additional money if you want the battery replaced on your device.
and scroll down to the box on the page that will give you an estimate. Add $20 to the cost to figure out what the price will be starting on March 1st.The bottom line? Regardless of whether you need to change the battery on an iPhone 13 series or a fifth-generation iPad Pro , do it before March 1st. Procrastinating is going to cost you an additional $20.
