The company disclosed the price rise on its support page for the battery replacement service for the iPhoneiPad, and Mac.

If you have an iPhone 12 and need a battery replacement beyond its warranty period, Apple currently charges a $69 fee for the replacement.

The cost of replacing an iPad battery will rise by $20 for certain models, also beginning March 1. The price rise applies to the iPad Pro 12.9-inch (5th generation and prior), iPad Pro 11-inch (3rd generation and prior), iPad Pro 10.5-inch, iPad Pro 9.7-inch, iPad mini (6th generation and prior), and iPad Air (5th generation and prior).

A battery replacement for the iPad Pro 12.9-inch 5th generation currently costs $99. The price rise doesn’t apply to the iPad Pro 12.9-inch 6th generation, for which battery replacement costs $179. The iPad 10th generation battery replacement, which is not affected, costs $119.
