Apple had just recently launched the highly anticipated iPhone 14 series. Recently, we had reported on the battery capacity of the new iPhones being revealed, showcasing a larger battery pack than the iPhone 13 lineup. However, it appears that the battery replacement cost for these new devices will also be higher than the last gen iPhones.
For those unaware, apart from the iPhone 14 Pro Max model and the lack of a mini variant, the rest of the lineup saw a slight bump in battery packs. But according to a 9To5Mac report, the Cupertino based giant’s latest iPhones will have costlier battery replacements. Apparently, the battery replacement for the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max will cost around 99 US Dollars.
In comparison, the brand’s iPhone 13 series battery replacement only cost 69 US Dollars. In other words, the company has just hiked the price tag by around 43 percent, despite battery capacities being mostly similar between the two generations. The aforementioned prices was for the US, meanwhile, the UK pricing for iPhone 14 series battery replacement is around 105 Pounds, which is again a rise from 69 Pounds for the previous generation.
Keep in mind that these prices are only for those iPhone models that are out of the one year warranty or the iPhones which do not have AppleCare+ protection. Your new iPhone 14 series’ battery will likely last for a couple of years. So, one might have to pay the price for a battery replacements a few years later. Although, the AppleCare+ will offer free unlimited repair for those subscribed to the plan.
