Apple Charging 20% More to Replace Batteries in iPhone 16 Pro Models

Apple has increased its out-of-warranty battery replacement fee for iPhone 16 Pro models, according to its iPhone repair and service page.

iphone 16 pro colors 1Apple Stores can replace the battery inside an iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro Max for $119 in the U.S., which is up from $99 for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. This is a 20% increase to the fee, which includes the cost of a new battery and service by an Apple Store. The fee may vary at third-party Apple Authorized Service Providers.

The fee remains $99 for the standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus.

Customers with AppleCare+ can still get an iPhone 16 Pro battery replaced for free, but only if the battery retains less than 80% of its original capacity.

Apple says all four iPhone 16 models are equipped with larger batteries, and all of the devices received an internal redesign for improved heat dissipation, according to the company. A metal enclosure was rumored for at least some iPhone 16 batteries, but we are still waiting for teardowns to get a proper look inside of the devices.

Apple had already increased its battery replacement fee from $69 to $99 starting with all four iPhone 14 models, so this is the second increase in recent years.

A comparison of Apple's current iPhone battery replacement fees in the U.S.:

  • iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max: $119
  • iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus: $99
  • All four iPhone 15 models: $99
  • All four iPhone 14 models: $99
  • All four iPhone 13 models: $89

    • iPhone 16 models can be pre-ordered now and launch on Friday.

    Thanks, Jacob Harvey!

The news we have so far is that the company will be giving the Pixel lineup a completely different aesthetic, including flatter edges, rounded corners, and a large pill-shaped camera bump. The camera bump is the most noticeable part of the new design. In addition to the new design, we also learned that Google is bringing back the Pixel XL model this year. The last time we saw an XL model was the Pixel 4 XL. So, in this news, we could be looking at his three different Pixel 9 models: Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL.
