The iPhone X's high price made it Lots of people turn their backs on himMany people were forced to buy an iPhone 8 or 8 Plus. In addition, when Apple published new maintenance prices for the iPhone X, it made many reconsider the issue of buying this phone, as it is on the one hand high in price, and on the other hand, its out-of-warranty maintenance costs are also high.

And in a statement published by MacRumors that Apple has updated the out-of-warranty maintenance pricing for the iPhone X at the same time as the iPhone X was booked. Perhaps this is a good thing that Apple announced that these prices were updated early before the pre-order for the iPhone X was opened. Some even suggest that Apple is afraid of potential buyers.


The cost of maintaining the iPhone X screen

One of the outstanding features of the iPhone X is its 5.8-inch OLED Super Retina HD screen, which covers the entire front of the device, works to save energy, and is characterized by stunning accurate colors, more realistic display, and oil and fingerprint resistance.

Where Apple said last Friday, coinciding with the beginning of pre-orders for the purchase of the iPhone X, that the cost of maintenance of the screen of the iPhone X outside of warranty is 279 dollars in the United States of America, and compared to the iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone 7 Plus the cost of replacement The screen costs $ 169,

Even worse, if you maintain parts other than the screen, such as the back glass, for example, which was designed by Apple specifically to charge the phone wirelessly, Apple explained that the other components of the phone cost $ 549 and this is crazy in addition to the high price of the phone.

For maintenance outside the United States and outside of warranty, it will cost the equivalent of $ 419, while the other components cost $ 556, or the equivalent value in the currency of your country.

You can avoid these high prices if you subscribe to the $ 199 Apple Care package, where you can get relatively inexpensive repairs during the two-year warranty period from the date of purchase.

It is worth noting that Apple Care is a service that is sold separately, through which the warranty period is increased from one to two years.

Whereas, Apple provides a one-year warranty for the maintenance of parts of the iPhone - and also provides technical support through phone calls for a period of 90 days from the date of purchase, such as configuring the device, operating it for the first time, installing software, and so on.

During the warranty period, Apple provides, through its branches around the world, complete and free maintenance of any damaged parts due to manufacturing defects only, and this does not apply to accidental accidents such as the phone being dropped or liquids spilled on it.

Under the Apple Care plan, you only have to pay $ 29 to repair the screen or $ 99 for other components, and this price is high compared to previous iPhones.


If after this report, you should think carefully before taking this reckless step if you like dropping phones on the ground or someone who threw their phones against the wall strongly when angry. So you have to find the maintenance money before buying the iPhone X !!
