Apple has raised the price of battery replacements for the iPhone 16 Pro models. If you are planning to buy an iPhone 16 Pro or Pro Max, you should know that replacing the battery is now more expensive than on previous models.
For the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max demands Apple now charges 135 euros for battery replacement. That's over 20 percent more than the iPhone 15 Pro models, where the replacement cost 109 euros. This increase only affects the Pro models. The standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus remain at 109 euros for battery replacement.
Why have prices increased?
Apple has already increased the prices for battery replacements in recent years, namely for the iPhone 14 models. At that time, the cost rose from 99 euros to 109 euros. Now the next increase to 135 euros follows for the Pro models. The reasons could be increased material costs or higher expenses for the service.
AppleCare+ as an alternative
If you have AppleCare+, you can still get your iPhone 16 Pro battery replaced for free as long as the battery is less than 80% of its original capacity. AppleCare+ offers a way to avoid these additional costs if you have the service plan.
Battery replacement by third-party providers
Another option is to replace the battery at an authorized third-party retailer. Prices may vary and it may be cheaper than the Apple Store, but make sure you only go to certified retailers to avoid risking your warranty.
Keep an eye on costs: Options for replacing the battery of the iPhone 16 Pro
The price increase for battery replacement for the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max is not insignificant, especially if you plan to use your device long-term. You can avoid the costs with AppleCare+, or you can opt for a third-party provider. In any case, it's worth keeping an eye on the different options. Are you looking for new accessories?
