Apple has posted out-of-warranty repair pricing for the iPhone 17 family, including the new ultra‑thin iPhone Air. The full breakdown is available on Apple’s iPhone Repair and Service page and applies to U.S. service; taxes are extra and pricing can change.


iPhone Air repair fees

  • Cracked screen (front only): $329
  • Back glass damage: $159
  • Cracked screen + back glass: $419
  • Battery replacement: $119
  • Rear camera: $169
  • Other damage: $699

These are out‑of‑warranty prices. “Other damage” is Apple’s catch‑all tier for extensive repairs that don’t fit a single component swap (for example, multiple components or board‑level issues).


How AppleCare+ changes what you pay

With AppleCare+ (or AppleCare One in the U.S.), incident fees drop substantially for accidental damage, and battery service is included when capacity falls below 80% during coverage. Under Apple’s current schedule for the iPhone 17 lineup:

  • Screen (front only): $29 per incident
  • Back glass: $29 per incident
  • Screen + back glass: $58 per incident
  • Battery: $0 when eligible under coverage
  • Rear camera: $99 per incident
  • Other accidental damage: $99 per incident
  • Theft or loss (if included in your plan): $149 per incident

Plan pricing varies by model. For the current generation, the base iPhone 17 plan is lower than the Air/Pro tiers. Apple offers monthly and annual billing, unlimited accidental-damage repairs while covered, and up to two theft/loss incidents in 12 months. You can explore options on Apple’s AppleCare page.


Where iPhone Air fits in the iPhone 17 lineup

Apple’s schedule keeps most common repairs flat across similarly sized models, with a few notable differences:

  • Battery replacement: $119 for iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and Pro Max; $99 for iPhone 17.
  • Screens: $329 for iPhone Air, iPhone 17, and iPhone 17 Pro; $379 for iPhone 17 Pro Max.
  • Screen + back glass: $419 for iPhone Air, iPhone 17, and iPhone 17 Pro; $469 for iPhone 17 Pro Max.
  • Rear camera: $169 for iPhone Air and iPhone 17; $249 for iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max.
  • Other damage: $699 for iPhone Air; $599 for iPhone 17; $749 for iPhone 17 Pro; $799 for iPhone 17 Pro Max.

The upshot: the Air tracks the Pro models on battery pricing and the standard models on most glass repairs, while Pro/Pro Max camera tiers and “other damage” scale higher.


Estimating your real cost

Two factors typically drive what you’ll actually pay:

  • Coverage status: In‑warranty defects and AppleCare+ incidents are priced differently from out‑of‑warranty accidental damage.
  • Damage scope: If Apple classifies your case as “other damage,” expect the higher tier due to multi‑component or complex repairs.

Apple’s repair page lets you confirm current pricing, start a mail‑in repair, and see options for authorized service providers or Apple Store appointments.


Some context for iPhone Air buyers

The Air is a new design class for iPhone—thinner and lighter, with the usual trade‑offs that come with compact hardware. Apple set its out‑of‑warranty battery fee at $119, in line with the Pro models, and glass repairs match the standard and Pro tiers at $329 (front) and $159 (back). If you expect to go case‑free, the $29 AppleCare+ glass incident fee is the biggest swing factor versus paying out of pocket.

For model and launch details on the device itself, Apple’s iPhone Air is outlined in this press release, including design, materials, and availability.


Quick decision guide

  • Replace a worn battery without coverage? Budget $119 on iPhone Air (or $99 on iPhone 17).
  • Cracked the front glass only? $329 out of warranty, $29 with AppleCare+.
  • Back glass only? $159 out of warranty, $29 with AppleCare+.
  • Front + back glass? $419 out of warranty, $58 with AppleCare+.
  • Rear camera repair? $169 out of warranty on Air, $99 with AppleCare+.
  • Extensive damage? $699 on Air out of warranty, $99 with AppleCare+.
