While many Apple users do not opt for AppleCare+, the official repair and replacement fees for the iPhone 17 series, including the iPhone Air, have now been revealed ahead of its launch next week. This information gives users a clearer picture of potential out-of-warranty costs.
**Apple Discloses iPhone 17 Series Repair Costs; Battery Replacement Stays the Same**
Cupertino maintains consistency in some areas while bringing changes to others. For the iPhone Air:
– A cracked front display repair costs around $329.
– Back glass damage repair costs up to $159.
– Combined front and back damage repairs cost $419.
Battery replacement remains at $119, the same price as for the iPhone 16 Pro models. The rear camera repair costs about $169. For more expensive repairs not covered under standard categories (e.g., internal component or water damage), the cost is around $699.
AppleCare+ customers can be relieved to know that most incidents fall within repair costs of $29 to $99, depending on the issue. This extensive coverage plan is particularly appealing for those seeking protection against accidental damage. The stable battery replacement fee also comforts many users without a warranty.
For potential buyers, investing in AppleCare+ seems like a smart move given its comprehensive coverage and reasonable cost. Sometimes maintaining the device can end up costing more than its purchase price.
