Replacing batteries on the new iPhone 16 Pro will be more expensive/Apple

Apple's iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max have the same starting price as last year's models. But replacing the battery on this phone is more expensive than before.

According to Apple's “iPhone Repair & Service” page, first spotted by MacRumors, replacing the battery on the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max costs $119. The same type of repair costs $99 for the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, as it did for last year's iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models.

This, of course, applies to out-of-warranty battery replacements; if your phone is under warranty and its battery fails, Apple will replace it for free. The exact terms are as follows, according to Apple's own page: “Your device is eligible for a battery replacement at no additional charge if you have AppleCare+ and your device's battery has less than 80 percent of its original capacity.”

We still haven't seen a teardown of the iPhone 16 Pro models, so we don't know what its internal components look like. Apple said it reorganized the phone's internals and added larger batteries to the Pro models, which may have made battery replacements more expensive.
