The Battery Bandit: Apple's Latest Pricing Tactic Exposed Apple has raised the price of battery repairs for iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models from $119 to $129.
This increase is part of a larger trend of escalating repair costs and added expenses for iPhone users. The new iPhone 18 Pro Max boasts an 11% larger battery than its predecessor, according to EU listings.
