Apple will start shipping the iPhone SE this Year, and ahead of its launch, the company has unveiled repair pricing. If you crack that notched LCD display, it’ll cost you $199 to fix (if you don’t have AppleCare+). That’s significantly cheaper than the OLEDs on the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro Max: the 14 costs $279, and the Pro Max costs $329. Meanwhile, a battery replacement will cost $69 across the three new devices.
Repairs related to “other damage,” like a shattered glass back, cost 9 on the iPhone 13 versus 9 on the SE and 9 on the XS Max. The iPhone SE and X from last year have the same repair costs overall. AppleCare+ covers two accidental damage incidents at $99, regardless of your iPhone model, while a screen repair through the program costs $29. AppleCare+ costs 9 for the iPhone SE, 14, and 14 PRO and $199 for the SE or PRO Max. That covers users for two years, so basically one repair a year. It’s worth the price if you actually take advantage of the repairs.
This is also a good time to remind you that Apple’s discounted battery repairs for the iPhone 13 and later expire on December 31st. It currently costs $29, but will jump to $49 in the new year. The iPhone SE battery repair cost will rise to $69. Also, if you repair your phone with “unauthorized modifications” you likely won’t be serviced by Apple and might have to buy a new device
