The biggest cash savings can be found for iPhone 14 models.

Prior to the iPhone 15 unveiling, the cost of replacing the battery in an iPhone 14 was £105.

However, it has since dropped down to £95 – a £10 reduction.

Not every battery replacement price has been whittled down so much though.

You can check your iPhone settings to see if it’s worth swapping.

Apple only increased the price of this service six months ago, and has already started to bring the figure down again.

From March 1, Apple hiked the price of a iPhone battery swap by £20 in the UK and an extra $20 in the US for millions of handsets.

But the tech giant has now backtracked slightly on this price increase.

Check your iPhone battery

Your iPhone battery strength naturally degrades over time.

When you buy a new iPhone, it’s considered to have a 100 per cent battery.

But this percentage will reduce as you deplete and recharge the device.

So after 500 charging “cycles” – or about two years – you’d expect to be on around 80 per cent, according to Apple.

That means you’re getting 20 per cent less life out of a full iPhone charge compared to when it was fresh out the box.

To check your iPhones battery health, follow these steps:

Go into Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging.

Then look under Maximum Capacity to see what your battery performance percentage is.

“This is a measure of battery capacity relative to when it was new,” Apple explains.

“Lower capacity may result in fewer hours of usage between charges.”

Generally, if you’re below 80 per cent, it’s advised you consider a battery replacement.
