The tech giant had warned that the cost would go up in March.
Previously, a battery for the iPhone 13 would come in at £69.
But today it’s £89.
In fact, all the batteries appear to have gone up £20.
The same has happened in the US, where it’ll now cost you $89.
But it only applies to products that are out of warranty.
If you iPhone is still under warranty then you might be able to get a free replacement, as long as it’s not because it’s worn out due to “normal use”.
Apple previously said: “The current out-of-warranty battery service fee will apply until the end of February 2023.

And for Macs, it’s between £159 and £245.
