Apple has announced that it will increase the cost of out-of-warranty battery replacements for older iPhone models through the end of 2023.

Apple has announced that it is increasing the cost of out-of-warranty iPhone battery replacements for all models older than the iPhone 14 later this year.

“The current out-of-warranty battery service fee will apply through the end of February 2023. Effective March 1, 2023, the out-of-warranty battery service fee will be increased by $20 for all iPhone models prior to the iPhone 14,” According to the company’s support page.

Currently, Apple charges $69 to replace batteries on most iPhone models, according to an estimate calculator on the company’s website.

Customers who do not have an AppleCare or AppleCare+ plan for their devices will be affected by the price increase.

However, customers who have an AppleCare+ plan don’t pay anything for a battery replacement once their battery health drops below 80 percent.

Meanwhile, the tech giant is reportedly working on 11.1-inch and 13-inch OLED iPad Pro models that will be launched in the first quarter of 2024.

While larger 11.1-inch and 13-inch screen sizes are planned for the OLED iPad Pro models, the devices may come with slimmed-down bezels, reports MacRumors.

Apple currently sells two iPad Pro models, the 12.9-inch Mini-LED iPad Pro and the 11-inch iPad Pro with a traditional LCD display, as Mini-LED has been reserved for higher-end iPad Pro models.
