A day after Apple unveiled its newest handsets, the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus have been added to the official service pricing list. While we expected the repair and replacement to be a bit hefty, we weren"t expecting the price of servicing on older iPhones to jump as well.
Under the new pricing guide, it will cost $169 to repair the screen of your new iPhone 8 Plus, and $149 to fix the iPhone 8. Full replacement for other damage will run a gaudy $399 and $349 respectively. The iPhone X has not as yet been added, but $199 for a screen repair is not out of the realm of possibility.
In addition, the cost of the AppleCare+ warranty increased to $149 for all 6s Plus, and 7 Plus models, as well as the new 8 Plus. The iPhone X warranty will be $199. Older non-plus models will still cost $129 for the warranty.
Beyond the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus pricing, screen repairs for the older IPhone 6 and SE models jumped for $99 to $129, while iPhone 6s and 7 increased from $129 to $149. All Plus models also rose $20 to $169.
| iPhone model | Screen repair only | Other damage |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone 8 Plus | $169 | $399 |
| iPhone 8 | $149 | $349 |
| iPhone 7 Plus | $169 | $349 |
| iPhone 7 | $149 | $319 |
| iPhone 6s Plus | $169 | $329 |
| iPhone 6s | $149 | $299 |
| iPhone 6 Plus | $149 | $329 |
| iPhone 6 | $129 | $299 |
| iPhone SE | $129 | $269 |
| iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5 | $129 | $269 |
As usual, the following rules are still in effect for these prices to apply:
- You need to replace your screen due to accidental damage or mishandling. Accidental damage isn"t covered by the Apple warranty.
- Your iPhone screen gets broken while it"s still under warranty and you don"t have AppleCare+ coverage.
- Your screen stops working and your iPhone isn"t covered by the Apple warranty, consumer law, or AppleCare+.
The service pricing was not the only cost to rise with the announcement of the new iPhones. Apple also quietly increased the price of its higher-end iPad Pros tablets by $50 to offset the increase in NAND flash memory components.
