Ahead of the launch, Apple has disclosed the estimated repair costs for the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone 17 Air, covering battery replacements, screen repairs, and back glass replacements. Potential buyers of the iPhone 17 Pro Max should be aware that the maximum repair cost could be so high that it equals the price of a base model iPhone 17. Let’s break down the repair expenses.
According to the official Apple website, a general repair of the iPhone 17, covering issues beyond the screen, camera, battery, and back glass, will set you back ₹66,500. The Pro and Pro Max models will cost ₹89,900, and the Air variant will require ₹81,900.
The maximum repair costs for the iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone 17 Air are significant, potentially matching the price of a base iPhone 17. The 256GB base model iPhone 17 is priced at ₹82,900.

Front screen replacement for the iPhone 16 costs ₹25,500. However, an iPhone 17 front screen replacement jumps to ₹32,900, a difference of ₹7,400. The iPhone 17 Pro and Air variants will have the same front screen replacement cost, ₹32,900, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max will cost you ₹38,900.
For screen and back glass damage, the iPhone 16 repair cost is ₹33,500.
