It’s going to cost a bit more to replace the battery on the iPhone 16 models.
Per Apple’s iPhone repair and service page, Apple Store locations can replace the battery inside an iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro Max for $119 in the U.S., an increase from $99 for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. This marks a 20 percent 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.
AppleCare+ subscribers can still receive an iPhone 16 Pro battery replacement for free, but only if the battery retains less than 80 percent of its original capability with each charge.
Apple had already increased its battery replacement fee from $69 to $99 starting with all four iPhone 14 models, making this the second increase in recent years.
iPhone 16 models can be pre-ordered now and launch on Friday, September 20.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
