The cost of replacing the battery in any iPhone older than the current generation, will climb by $20 from March 1, 2022.
When Apple introduced the iPhone 14 range in September 2022, it also raised the price of replacing the battery from $69 to $99. Now, it’s keeping that $99 for the current models, but raising the price for all older ones.
The new increase does not affect users with AppleCare+, or ones whose iPhones are still under warranty. However, Apple’s page for estimating the cost of battery replacement says all other prices are changing.
“The current out-of-warranty battery service fee will apply until the end of February 2023,” says Apple. “Effective March 1, 2023, the out-of-warranty battery service fee will be increased by $20 for all iPhone models prior to iPhone 14.”
For all supported iPhones with a home button, that means the cost will rise from $49 to $69. The oldest model Apple will replace a battery for is the iPhone 5.
