Apple is increasing out-of-warranty battery service fees this year.

The change is effective on March 1, according to the tech giant’s website. 

“The current out-of-warranty battery service fee will apply until the end of February 2023,” Apple wrote on a page headed: “iPhone Battery Service.”

“Effective March 1, 2023, the out-of-warranty battery service fee will be increased by $20 for all iPhone models prior to iPhone 14,” it said.

In addition, Apple fees are subject to tax and a shipping fee will be added should an iPhone need to be shipped.

Notably, Apple said that other service providers can set their own fees.
