iPhone Battery Service: Keeping Your Power Up

Over time, iPhone batteries naturally degrade with regular use. Apple offers battery replacement services for a fee, as normal battery wear and tear is not typically covered by the standard warranty.

However, if you have AppleCare+, you might be eligible for a free battery replacement if your iPhone’s battery capacity falls below 80% of its original capacity. This additional coverage offers significant value for users who heavily rely on their iPhones. Learn more about iPhone battery service

iPhone Screen Repair: Addressing Accidental Damage

Cracked or damaged screens are another common iPhone issue. While the Apple warranty generally doesn’t cover accidental damage, Apple offers screen repair services for a fee.

If you have AppleCare+, you’ll benefit from coverage for accidental damage, including screen repairs, subject to a service fee per incident. This protection can save you substantial costs in the event of unforeseen screen damage. Learn more about iPhone screen repair

Calculating iPhone Repair Costs

Estimating the cost of your iPhone repair upfront allows you to budget effectively. Apple provides a helpful “Get an Estimate” tool that allows you to select your device model and the type of service needed for a preliminary cost assessment.

Keep in mind that if you choose a third-party service provider instead of Apple, their fees may vary. It’s always advisable to request an estimate beforehand.
