Getting Your iPhone Serviced
Need to get your iPhone repaired? Apple offers several convenient options to get your device back in perfect working order.
Schedule a Repair Appointment
For in-person service, you can book an appointment at an Apple Authorized Service Provider or directly at an Apple Store. This is a great option if you prefer to discuss your issue face-to-face with a technician and potentially have your iPhone repaired while you wait.

Featured iPhone Services and Costs
Let’s delve into some of the common iPhone services and understand potential costs associated with them.
iPhone Battery Service and Replacement Cost
Like all rechargeable batteries, iPhone batteries degrade over time. If you notice a significant drop in battery life, Apple offers a battery replacement service for a fee. It’s important to note that the standard Apple warranty doesn’t cover battery wear from normal use.
However, if you have AppleCare+, battery service is available at no additional cost if your iPhone battery retains less than 80 percent of its original capacity. This is a significant benefit of AppleCare+, addressing a common issue as iPhones age.

iPhone Screen Repair Cost
Accidents happen, and a cracked iPhone screen is a common issue. Apple provides screen repair services for a fee. It’s crucial to understand that accidental damage, like a cracked screen from a drop, is not covered under the standard Apple warranty.
This is where AppleCare+ proves its value. With AppleCare+, screen repairs are covered as accidental damage from handling incidents, subject to a service fee, often significantly lower than out-of-warranty repair costs. Without AppleCare+, screen repair can be a considerable expense.

Understanding Repair Costs: How Much Will It Actually Cost?
To get a clearer picture of potential repair expenses, Apple offers an “Get an Estimate” tool. This tool allows you to input your iPhone model and the type of service needed to receive an estimated cost if you choose to get service directly from Apple. Keep in mind that if you opt for a third-party service provider, their fees may vary, so it’s always recommended to ask for an estimate beforehand.
For repairs covered under AppleCare+, the service fee (deductible) remains consistent regardless of whether you choose an Apple Store, an Authorized Service Provider, or mail-in service.
It’s also important to be aware that hardware service might not be available for older, vintage, or obsolete iPhone models.

- A shipping fee will be added if mail-in service is required for your iPhone repair.
AppleCare+: Is It Worth the Cost?
AppleCare+ is an extended warranty and support plan for your iPhone that goes beyond the standard one-year limited warranty. It provides significant benefits, especially when considering potential repair costs.
Key benefits of AppleCare+ include:
- Extended Coverage: Extends your hardware repair coverage and technical support to two years from your AppleCare+ purchase date.
- Battery Service Coverage: As mentioned earlier, if your battery drops below 80% capacity, replacement is covered at no additional cost.
- Accidental Damage Coverage: AppleCare+ covers accidental damage from handling, such as drops and spills. Each incident is subject to a service fee (deductible), but this is still significantly cheaper than paying for an out-of-warranty repair.
- Express Replacement Service: AppleCare+ often includes Express Replacement Service, allowing you to receive a replacement iPhone quickly so you don’t have to wait for your repair to be completed first.

Apple’s Limited Warranty vs. AppleCare+
Apple Limited Warranty:
The standard Apple Limited Warranty covers your iPhone and included Apple-branded accessories against manufacturing defects for one year from the purchase date. Separately purchased Apple accessories also have their own warranty.
AppleCare+:
AppleCare+ is an additional plan that enhances the standard warranty. It provides longer coverage, battery service for diminished capacity, and crucially, accidental damage coverage.
Making the Decision: Is AppleCare+ Right for You?
The question “how much is AppleCare” is important, but the real question is “is AppleCare+ worth the cost for me?”. Consider these factors:
- Your Lifestyle: Are you prone to accidents? Do you frequently use your iPhone in environments where damage is more likely?
- Peace of Mind: Do you value knowing that you are protected from unexpected repair costs?
- iPhone Usage Length: Do you typically keep your iPhone for more than a year? If so, the extended coverage of AppleCare+ becomes more valuable.
- Budget: Factor the cost of AppleCare+ into your overall iPhone budget. While it’s an upfront cost, it can save you significant money in the long run if repairs are needed.
