2.Official quotation for mobile phones other than iPhone 17 series:
Apple officially has complete quotations for each item of the iPhone 12~16 series. Although the price has been partially revised to match the price adjustment of mobile phones, it is still expensive!
For iPhone 11 series (including) and below models, Apple’s official quotation only includes three items: screen, battery and other damage. Although the market residual value of these old machines is no longer high, the cost of maintenance and material preparation remains high, so the quoted prices are much higher than the residual value. Unless it has special commemorative value, it is recommended to replace it with a new one.
iPhone repair is so expensive, what should you do?
Apple iPhone repair quotations are rising steadily. In addition to battery replacement for iPhone 13 (inclusive) and below, other items are damaged after being out of warranty. Moderators recommend that you just replace the phone directly.
For new phones, in addition to purchasing accessories (such as protective cases or protective stickers), if you are a user who is at high risk of phone damage, it is recommended that you consider reporting for product liability insurance or Apple care+. Although these mobile device insurance premiums are expensive, like buying a new car, they seem to be a necessary investment.
