New iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max design makes replacing the rear glass panel much cheaper

18 September 2023
This design was first implemented on the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus last year, but the 14 Pro duo stuck with the old design and the possibility of a $500 repair bill.

    glad that theyre adopting this design, but $170 to replace a piece of glass is absolutely rediculous, especially when that piece of glass is worth at most $30

Hey Apple (and google for killing the watchdog and giving no alternative) we're not 10 anymore, we don't need some company holding our hands when we use our phones. Heck a galaxy s3 with 4.4.4 was more advanced as a computer than most of what you can buy today and it's not the hardware to blame. It's the backwards look on software.

        In this region, a oneplus flagship can be had for that much ($550) Crazy how greedy a company can be 🍎

          Anonymous, 19 Sep 2023Woah. Okay then care to explain why apple does that ?Apple repairs are more professional than others which are cheaper.

            550 bucks for a piece of glass is just absurd. You get a whole phone attached to said back glass from other brands.

              Cheap? That's a ripoff 500 bucks 🤦‍♂️

                justasmile, 19 Sep 2023At least Apple's not thinking about profit here.they charge 200€ for a 6" sheet of glass. I think this is profit oriented.
                No one would pay 500€ to replace the back glass so lowering the price to a still absurd 200€ helps them sell more repairs increasing profit.
                10x 150€ from 200€ repair is more than 1x 450€ profit from 500€ repair

                    You just don't know the reason why Apple 'overprices' their products and repairs.

                        At least Apple's not thinking about profit here.

                          And if your phone or watch does not break within 2 years or you will never use Apple care even if you will pay it nobody will refunds you what a scam.
                          Anyone with few healthy brain cells will buy a quality leather book to protect the whole phone from every side and corners from any kin d of harm plus will use Panzer glass or better as a screen protector.
                          Only pawns and peons who does not care for their belongings and their life will not use any kind of protection at all.
