Out-of-warranty iPhone owners will soon have to spend more to replace their batteries at an Apple store, Apple
said this week.
Starting on March 1, all older iPhones that came out before 2022 will see their battery replacement fees increase by $20, the tech giant said on its website. Currently, the owner of an iPhone 13 will pay $69 for a new battery. In two months, Apple will charge $89.
Battery price increases will also apply to older iPhones, some iPads, MacBook laptops and in some international markets as well.
Currently, all iPhone 14 models are under warranty, and if something goes wrong the company will fix the phone for free. But when they start to emerge from warranty on the one-year anniversary of purchase, Apple will charge $99 to replace the batteries in them.
