iPhone 15 Pro Max Battery replacement

[Black_Mage]

I’m slowly creeping up on the 3rd anniversary of getting my iPhone 15 Pro Max already. Geez time flies as I’m getting older. So I called a local Apple authorized dealer to find out how much it will cost to have them replace the battery. They quoted $119. That seems expensive to me, and I’m sure it was only $79 the last time I paid for a battery replacement for my iPhone 8+. Is that a fair price?

Yes, I have AppleCare, but I doubt it will cover this.

I wasn’t joking when I said I want to keep this iPhone 2 more years.

Why not just wait until battery health drops to 79% and have it covered under Apple Care?

Why are you dealing with a local authorized Apple dealer and not Apple? The 15PM is well within the service envelope, and Apple's price will be cheaper.

I've used a third party before. Cost me over $100 for my iPhone 6+. That was about two years ago and the phone in question isn't even a tertiary phone. But I paid it because Apple wouldn't replace the battery. I disagreed with the genius as to why I needed a new battery and doing the replacement wouldn't have helped his sales metrics. So, the third party is where I ended up.

The cost of your authorized Apple dealer is in line with a third party vendor's cost.

$99 from Apple.
