A fuss has recently been raised about Apple's alleged slowdowns to its older iPhones. Obviously in this case it is not correct to speak of planned obsolescence, as the decision taken by Apple concerned the battery of the devices.
As we all know, the batteries of our devices do not have infinite life. In fact, once the recharging cycles have been exhausted, they will show signs of subsidence. So the most obvious thing to do is replace the battery. But the question that all users ask themselves is: “yes, but the price?”.
How much does it cost to replace the iPhone battery?
As we said earlier, when the autonomy no longer satisfies us as it used to be, it is good to think about having the battery replaced in an Apple authorized center. The price of this operation varies according to the warranty of our product.
So let's see what the Costi for assistance for the battery of our iPhone.
- 0€: repair is free for users with warranty or AppleCare +
- 29€: price for users who have a device out of warranty
PLEASE NOTE: Apple has stated that it will be possible to replace the battery of your iPhone (whatever it is) - at a total cost of € 29 as we have indicated - and the replacement will be made even if the battery is not damaged! Battery replacement is therefore now a "service" provided to all iPhone customers!
These are the prices that refer to our country and that are valid only in Apple centers. If you make replacements in non-Apple authorized centers, the costs will differ and your product warranty will be void.
In addition, the prices shown in this article are inclusive of IVA. Apple also adds 12,90€ when he will have to take charge of the shipment of the device.
Conclusions
As we've seen, for devices with a warranty or an AppleCare + plan, iPhone battery replacement is completely free. Users who do not have a valid guarantee will have to spend around € 90 to get a new battery that will meet their needs.
