Cost of replacing broken glass back panel on Apple's iPhone 15 series revealed

Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max: Apple recently launched its iPhone 15 series, which hit the market on September 22, with significant performance improvements and enhanced camera capabilities.

However, a recent YouTube video by JerryRigEverything highlighted a potential concern regarding the iPhone 15 Pro Max's back glass panel, which appears prone to cracking under specific conditions. Surprisingly, the more affordable iPhone 15 Pro does not seem to exhibit this issue, and while it is suggested that Apple's decision to make the iPhone 15's back removable to adhere to EU regulations may be a contributing factor, the exact cause remains unclear.

In contrast to the iPhone 14 series, the cost of replacing the glass back on the latest iPhone series has notably decreased. This reduction in replacement costs is attributed to Apple's redesigned internal structure for the new iPhones. If you own an iPhone 15 series device and require a glass back panel replacement, here are the estimated costs:

Replacement cost

The replacement cost for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro's glass back is approximately Rs 14,900, as indicated on the Apple website. Replacing the glass back panel on the iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro Max will set you back Rs 16,900.

On the other hand, subscribers of an AppleCare+ plan have an added advantage as all models' glass back panels can be replaced at a discounted price of Rs 2,500. To recap, AppleCare+ plans for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are priced at Rs 14,900 and Rs 17,900, respectively, while AppleCare+ plans for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are available for Rs 20,900. These plans offer comprehensive coverage for your phone over a span of two years.
