Apple Reveals iPhone Air Battery Replacement and Repair Fees

Apple today disclosed its out-of-warranty repair fees for all of the iPhone 17 and iPhone Air models, ahead of the devices launching next week.

iPhone 17 Air Battery
First and foremost, Apple's battery replacement fees did not increase for the latest iPhone models in the U.S., with Apple charging a flat $119 to replace the battery inside an iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, or iPhone Air. This is the same fee it has always charged to replace the battery in an iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Overall, the latest repair fees are not very remarkable, but we do get a look at the costs for the all-new iPhone Air model with an ultra-thin design:

  • Cracked screen (front only): $329
  • Back glass damage: $159
  • Cracked screen and back glass damage: $419
  • Battery: $119
  • Rear camera: $169
  • Other damage: $699

Again, these are out-of-warranty repair fees. If your iPhone has AppleCare+ coverage, the repair fees range from $29 to $99 per incident for all models.

For all of the fees, visit Apple's iPhone Repair and Service page.

Then you should sue Apple, good luck with that.
You don't have to use Apple for that service, you know that, right?

Brought my car in for service a few weeks ago, they wanted to charge me $99 to replace the cabin air filter - should I sue them?
why are you even defending them?

When someone uses the term "criminal" for some company charging a service fee, you can consider that high, or fair or whatever, but certainly not criminal.
It's a figure of speech. I doubt they're calling the police.

Your comment made me curious how much Google charges to replace a battery. It costs $179 to have them replace the battery on a Pixel 9 Pro XL.
