Apple has increased the prices of out-of-warranty battery replacements on iPhones, iPads, and Macs.
From 1 March 2023, buying a new battery for an iPhone or iPad that is out of warranty in the US will cost US$20 more.
For the iPhone SE, iPhone 8 and other old models, Apple has started charging US$69 , up 40% from the previous US$49 fee.
Batteries for models from the iPhone X to the iPhone 13 will cost US$89, compared to the previous price of US$69. That works out to a 29% hike.
When it comes to new iPad batteries, most models will get a price hike from US$99 to US$119.
For the latest M2 iPad Pro, Apple will charge US$149 for a new battery for the 11-inch model and US$179 for a pack in the 12.9-inch version.
Lastly, MacBook battery replacement costs will increase by US$30 to US$50, depending on the model.
The biggest increase applies to the MacBook Pro battery, which will now cost US$249.
If your device is covered by an Apple Care+ maintenance plan, you will pay substantially less than the full cost of a battery replacement.
Apple’s hiked prices will likely also impact the cost of replacement batteries elsewhere in the world.
The actual local increases will likely differ from the hikes in the US when adding shipping and taxes to the total cost.
