Apple increased the price of iPhone 18 Pro battery repairs — here's how much you'll pay now
iPhone 18 Pro's price hike isn't the only extra expense this year, thanks to Apple raising the price of battery repairs.
Apple has raised the price of out-of-warranty battery repairs for the newly released iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max by $10, making the total cost $129, an increase of around 8%. Previously, these repairs cost $119 for the iPhone 17 series and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Other out-of-warranty repair costs remain unchanged. However, AppleCare+ starts to seem more appealing, given that an official repair for miscellaneous damage costs more than two-thirds of a new iPhone's price ($849 for the iPhone 18 Pro).
The reason for this price hike is likely due to the larger battery capacity in the new models, which is more expensive to produce. AppleCare+ costs $10 a month for one device or $20 a month for two devices, offering coverage for theft, loss, and accidental damage.
