Apple has decided to hike the price of battery replacement for its latest premium smartphones, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. The company is charging 20% more for these than for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus.
Not just that, but keep in mind that battery replacement for the entire iPhone 15 family costs the same. Now though we have a price gap between the 16 Pros and the 16 non-Pros as well as all other iPhones that came before them.
The replacement for the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will cost you $119, while for the vanilla iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Plus it's $99 - also the amount for all four iPhone 15s and all iPhone 14s. Only the iPhone 13 family gets lower at $89.
All of the prices above apply at Apple Stores. Fees at third-party Apple Authorized Service Providers could vary.
The iPhone 16 family will become available this coming Friday, on September 20.
