Apple has listed how much it will cost to repair the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro screens. As of now, Apple has listed prices for replacements on its US website, and as expected, this won’t be cheap. The iPhone 12 series starts at Rs. 69,900 for the iPhone 12 mini 64GB, and the prices go up from there, so you may be tempted to skip the subscription to Apple Care + which in turn costs as much as a smartphone from other brands, but is less than what. repair costs could end be. The two-year protection plan that covers accidental damage and other repairs will cost Rs. 16,900 for the iPhone 12 and 12 mini, and Rs. 26,900 for the iPhone Pro and Pro Max in India, and the repair costs will definitely be higher than this in India, based on US prices.
A new screen on the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro in the US will cost you $ 279 (roughly Rs. 21,000), based on prices listed on Apple’s US website. To give you a comparison, the repair of the screen costs $ 189 (roughly Rs. 14,000) on the iPhone 11, $ 279 (roughly Rs. 21,000) on the 11 Pro, and $ 329 (roughly Rs. 24,000) on the 11 Pro Max. It costs $ 199 (roughly Rs. 14,000) on the iPhone XR and $ 129 (Rs 10,000) on the iPhone SE (second generation).
These are out-of-warranty screen repair costs. It’s important to note that Apple’s One-Year Limited Warranty that comes with a new device also doesn’t cover accidental damage (even if there was a fire in an earthquake).
Given the rates at which iPhone 12 series phones are sold in India, repair costs may be even higher here if Apple follows a similar formula for pricing repairs as it did with phones. .
Costs for “other iPhone repairs” are also mentioned on Apple’s website in the US So if for example you caused liquid damage to your new iPhone, it will cost you $ 449 (roughly Rs. 33,000) to the iPhone 12 and $ 549 (approximately 41,000) for the 12 Pro. Repair costs for the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max may be listed closer to availability.
Pre-order dates for the iPhone 12 series have been announced. The iPhone 12 and 12 Pro can be pre-ordered starting October 23 and will be available on October 30. The iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max can be pre-ordered starting November 6 and will be available on November 13.
