What are the costs for accidental damage repairs without AppleCare+

Accidental Damage Repair Costs Without AppleCare+

- Screen Replacement: $379
- Screen and Back Glass Replacement: $499
- Rear Camera Repair: $249

These are the out-of-warranty repair prices that Apple charges for accidental damage to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, such as cracked screens or camera lens damage.

Why are iPhone Repairs So Expensive?

The search results explain a few reasons why iPhone repair costs have increased:

1. The extensive use of glass materials on the front and back of iPhones makes them more vulnerable to damage from drops and cracks.

2. The high-end OLED displays used in recent iPhone models are more costly to replace.

3. The complexity of repairing the internal components of modern iPhones also contributes to the high repair prices.

Benefit of AppleCare+

The search results highlight that with an active AppleCare+ plan, the service fees for accidental damage are much lower:

- Screen replacement: $29 deductible
- Screen and back glass replacement: $58 deductible
- Other accidental damage: $99 deductible

So in summary, without AppleCare+, repairing accidental damage on an iPhone 15 Pro Max can cost hundreds of dollars. But with the AppleCare+ extended warranty, those repair costs are significantly reduced through the fixed service fees.
