Apple will raise the price of replacing iPhone, iPad and Mac batteries. Batteries for iPhone 13 and earlier models will be increased and will rise in price from March 1, 2023. According to the company itself, “the charge for out-of-warranty battery service will increase by 158 reais for all iPhone models up to iPhone 14.” This means that an iPhone 12s Pro Max battery replacement will cost R$541 as of March.

The iPhone 14 line has not been included in this reconfiguration since its launch, as the out-of-warranty battery service price has been fixed at the same level. Apple currently charges an average of BRL 383 for more recent models such as the iPhone 13, iPhone 12, iPhone 11 and iPhone X. For older models such as the iPhone SE and iPhone 8, the price is BRL 228. The values will remain unchanged until February 28, 2023.

iPad and Mac battery prices will also rise
Apple may delay iPhone SE 4 release until 2024 or cancel it entirely
In addition to iPhone batteries, other Apple products will also increase the number of replaceable batteries. You can already find a replacement battery on the Apple support site for Macbook Aair (M2, 2022) from BRL 1024. As for the iPad, a battery replacement on the 12.9-inch iPad Pro (6th generation) + Wi-Fi costs BRL 1609. This increase in the cost of replacing batteries came 4 years after the company reduced the cost of replacing batteries by $29.
In 2018, Apple reduced the cost of battery replacements following the iPhone slowdown scandal. This was part of the company’s apology for the lack of information on how the iPhone software adjusts processor performance as the battery drains. It is likely that with the increase in the price of replacing the battery of Apple devices, many consumers will turn to third-party technicians, resorting to “cheaper” services.
