Users of the iPhone 13 or older iPhone models who need to replace their batteries should start making plans to do so before the end of February. Apple has said that it intends to raise the price of battery replacement by $20. (roughly Rs. 2,000). iPhone batteries are not covered by the Cupertino company's guarantee. However, according to the business, AppleCare+ users may get their iPhone batteries changed at no extra cost if the battery has less than 80% of its original capacity.
According to Apple's support page, any out-of-warranty iPhone 13 or earlier model batteries will now cost $20 more to replace (roughly Rs. 2,000). Beginning on March 1, the revised pricing will be in effect.
The Cupertino business presently costs $69 (about Rs. 6,000) for a new battery for the iPhone 13, iPhone 12, iPhone 11, and iPhone X that are out of warranty. While the price of the iPhone SE, iPhone 8, and several earlier devices is $49 (roughly Rs. 4,000). However, [Apple] already charges $99 (about Rs. 8,000) for an iPhone 14 series model's battery replacement.
In related news, it is rumoured that the business would concentrate on enhancing battery life with its next iPhone 15 series devices. According to a recent claim, the new array of smartphones will be powered by an Apple A17 CPU, which may be up to 35% more energy efficient than the A16 Bionic chip now in use.
The A16 Bionic SoC is exclusive to the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. The Apple A17 processor is predicted to power just iPhone 15 Pro models, while the A16 Bionic chip is projected to power the non-pro devices.
