iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max back glass repair costs are 2x cheaper than iPhone 14 Pro models

Published On: September 19, 2023

Highlights

Apple has added a new titanium frame for the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max and these are designed in a way that the back glass can be replaced independently.
The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max back panel replacement costs are Rs 15,000 and Rs 17,000.
In comparison, the iPhone 14 Pro back panel repair cost approximately Rs 53,000.

Apple products usually have high repair costs and some days, there’s no repair and just replacement is given as an option. However, Apple made iPhone 14 series repairability quite easy. Now, the company is building on this further by lowering the costs. With the new iPhone 15 Pro series, Apple has reduced the glass back repair or replacement costs. The motive behind the move is not clear but it’s a win for the end consumer.

Apple has added a new titanium frame for the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max and these are designed in a way that the back glass can be replaced independently.

In case you have an AppleCare+ plan subscription, the price of the repair is Rs 2,500 for both models.
In comparison, when the back panel of the previous models broke/cracked, Apple had to completely strip the iPhone components to replace nearly the whole body of the phone or sometimes completely replace the device.
The back panel repairability cost is much lower than the Samsung Galaxy Flip 5’s folding display replacement, which costs Rs 21,188 (for the main screen).

Be it the European Union’s new mandate for easier repairability, USB-C connectivity standardisation, battery swap guidelines, or it is just Apple’s idea of having a design overhaul, the repair costs of iPhone 15 Pro’s back panel are now significantly cheaper and are certainly the most welcome move from the Cupertino giant in 2023.
