Apple Support App Now Offers Some Repair Estimates

Originally published at: Apple Support App Now Offers Some Repair Estimates - TidBITS

Curious how much it would cost to repair an Apple device? The Apple Support app now offers estimates in select locations. But only for the most common repairs to certain devices.

Just tried it out for a broken iPhone screen! It gave me a repair estimate of AU$249 for an out-of-warranty iPhone 8. Adding up the pros and cons I decided to replace it with an iPhone SE - same hardware but slightly better processors and I don’t want to risk this style of phone not being available in a few years (hooked on the Home button & touchID).
The 8 still works so it will say in a drawer as a backup.

New SE expected Mar 8. Same form factor, updated guts.
