Apple starts selling replacement parts for iPhone 17 (Pro) and iPhone Air at partly high prices
Apple is now selling replacement parts for all iPhone 17 models and the iPhone Air through its own Apple Self Service Repair Store. Most replacement parts are priced the same as those for the iPhone 16 series, with one key exception.
The price of a replacement display for the base model has increased from $279 to $329, likely due to the iPhone 17's 120Hz LTPO AMOLED panel, compared to the iPhone 16's 60Hz display. The back cover is the same price at $159. Surprisingly, Apple charges $169 for the iPhone Air's 48MP main camera, also the same price as the iPhone 17's dual-camera system. The ultra-wide camera is not sold separately.
In many cases, however, it's still not worth carrying out repairs yourself. For example, a new battery costs $99 for the base model and $119 for the more expensive models, which is exactly the same as having the battery replaced directly at an Apple Store. The same applies to the back glass, the display, and the cameras. This makes DIY repairs financially unattractive, which is a shame, because according to iFixit's teardown, even the ultra-thin iPhone Air is relatively easy to repair.
