The New Price Increase by Apple Applies to All Previous Generations Until the iPhone 13 and Will Take Place at Official Stores of the Brand

Apple, one of the most famous smartphone brands today, has decided to increase the prices for battery replacement for some iPhone models that are not under warranty. This battery replacement service will increase by R$ 158 and will take effect from March 1, 2023.

This new price increase for battery replacement will apply to all previous iPhone generations up to the iPhone 13, with Apple not having officially announced the news but only placing a text on the customer support official page.

Apple customers who do not want to pay more for the battery replacement service must make this replacement by February 28, and it is worth noting, that this increase does not apply to Apple Care and Apple Care+ users.

Significant Price Increase for Batteries

After the price increase for batteries decided by Apple, the cost for replacing the iPhone 11, for example, would jump from R$541 to R$699, with the same price applicable for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13. Following this same example, the batteries for the iPhone 7, 8, and SE would go from R$386 to R$544.

In addition to this “adjustment” made by Apple for iPhones, the company will also charge more for batteries for the iPad and MacBook, starting on March 1. This adjustment will be R$235 for MacBook Air and R$400 for MacBook and Pro, while battery replacements for iPads will be R$200. It is worth noting that the new prices for Apple iPhone, iPad, and MacBook batteries will only be valid at the brand’s authorized service centers, including the official Apple stores, which are located, for example, in Morumbi Shopping in São Paulo and in Village Mall in Rio de Janeiro.

Furthermore, this increase in battery prices does not affect unauthorized technical services, meaning that customers may lose their Apple warranty if the replacement is carried out at an unauthorized service center, if the product still has one.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

Chinese engineers begin filling a 217-meter dam at an altitude of 3,000 meters and prepare a 2,240 MW hydroelectric power plant to integrate hydropower, solar, and wind energy in the upper Jinsha.

A United States soldier who was on the mission to capture Nicolás Maduro bet hours before the official announcement, profited over US$400,000 on a prediction platform, and now faces federal charges.

More than 100 scientists warn that India, China, the United States, Mediterranean countries, and parts of Africa could enter an era of persistent droughts by the end of the century, with rivers under stress, demand exceeding supply, and a growing risk of continuous water scarcity.

The biggest climatic tragedy ever recorded in the South of Brazil buried a family winery in mud, destroying machinery and production, but the family managed to transform the multi-million dollar loss into a new beginning with a limited edition of wines rescued from the disaster.
