In an attempt to encourage users to upgrade to newer iPhone models, Apple raises the cost of replacing an out- of-warranty iPhone battery. Apple has indicated it will increase the service fee cost for replacing a battery in an older iPhone handset, so users of those devices are being urged to replace their batteries immediately. Apple announced by adding a paragraph outlining the price increase to its website for iPhone battery replacements.

The webpage states, "The current out-of-warranty battery service fee will apply until February 2023. Effective March 1, 2023, the out-of-warranty battery service fee will be increased by for all $20 iPhone models prior to iPhone 14."
When purchasing a new battery from Apple, an iPhone 13 owner would have to pay $69. The tech giant will charge $89 starting in March. Older iPhones, some iPads, MacBook laptops, and some international markets will all see increases in battery prices. All iPhone 14 battery replacements are covered by warranty and are therefore free of charge if necessary. But after a year from the date of purchase, when iPhone 14 handsets start to lose their warranty, Apple will charge $99 to replace the battery.
