iPhone X Repair Fees

Apple's iPhone X is supposed to represent the future of technology. It seems that future is not going to be one any of us could afford. The service pricing page of the company for its forthcoming phone makes it crystal clear that anyone who breaks their iPhone X is able to anticipate paying a leg and an arm to have it fixed. The iPhone X's repair fees are huge. If you break the screen, you will need to pay Apple $279 to get a brand new phone. If you interrupt anything else, including the rear of the unit, you'll need to pony up $549.

This massive leap in repair prices is a blatant effort to force individuals to utilize AppleCare+ and an unprecedented growth compared to Apple's previous products. Apple's limited warranty offers protection, but does not cover a cracked back or any other damage resulting from the end user. Here's the way several iPhones stack up as far as out-of warranty repair. To begin with, here's the small screen apparatus: The price to repair a screen has grown by 1.16x in the last few years, but any other problem will run 1.3x greater on an Apple iPhone 8 compared to an iPhone SE.

How do the large phone figures look? . From the iPhone 6 Plus into the iPhone 8, the price of a screen repair has only risen by $20, the same as the smaller screen smartphones. The iPhone X's screen repair now prices 1.65x as much, while fixing literally anything else over the telephone will cost you over $500 in the event that you do not have AppleCare+. Actually, you can purchase an Apple iPhone SE for $200 less than you will pay to repair the cracked back on a Apple iPhone X. Let that sink in a minute. And the hits keep coming.

Desire AppleCare+ to the iPhone X? . That is $199, compared to $149 for the iPhone 6s, 7 Also, and iPhone 8 Plus and $129 for the iPhone 6s, iPhone 7, and iPhone 8. Even purchasing AppleCare+ doesn't prevent you from paying throughout the nose to fix the apparatus, you can look ahead to screen repairs at $29 and other at $99. Extended warranties are not worth the money, but Apple has been able to hit on a fantastic way to monetize them, charge so much for out-of warranty repair which paying the business another few hundred dollars is the only sane thing to do.

The iPhone X went on preexisting order today. Estimated ship times are already 5-6 months off. Given the colossal expense of fixing The iPhone X, ET strongly encourages everyone contemplating one of those devices purchase an excellent case. $549 to repair a cracked back is absurd. Apple's increased AppleCare+ pricing is either the consequence of its own production prices or an effort to channel more revenue into Apple's own coffers. In either case, the iPhone X is looking like an increasingly bad deal.
