Apple officially supports iPhone battery service, which can replace iPhone batteries for users for a service fee. Apple’s warranty does not provide coverage for battery loss caused by normal use. If a user has an AppleCare+ service plan and the product’s battery storage is less than 80 percent of its initial capacity, the user’s iPhone is eligible for free battery replacement.
According to Apple’s official support statement, as of the end of February 2023, the fees for out-of-warranty battery services will be charged at current prices. Starting March 1, 2023, the out-of-warranty battery service fee for all iPhone models prior to iPhone 14 will increase by RMB 169.
The additional battery service fee for the iPhone 14 series is RMB 748, the additional battery service fee for the iPhone 13 series is RMB 519, and the additional battery service fee for the iPhone 12 series is RMB 519. After March 1, 2023, the battery service fee for these models will rise to 688 RMB.
Users can see what they might be charged through the Get an Estimate tool. If service is obtained from an Apple Store, Apple will charge the service fee shown in the tool. Other service providers set their own fees, so ask them for an estimate.
The price of paid repairs may vary depending on the user’s decision to dispose of the old part. Apple will inspect the product upon receipt and confirm the service charge. If a user’s iPhone has any damage that prevents a battery replacement, such as a cracked screen, the problem needs to be addressed before the battery can be replaced. In some cases, repair charges may be incurred.
