The price to fix your iPhone screens just went up a bit

A day after Apple unveiled its newest handsets, the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus have been added to the official service pricing list. While we expected the repair and replacement to be a bit hefty, we weren't expecting the price of servicing on older iPhones to jump as well.
Under the new pricing guide, it will cost $169 to repair the screen of your new iPhone 8 Plus, and $149 to fix the iPhone 8. Full replacement for other damage will run a gaudy $399 and $349 respectively. The iPhone X has not as yet been added, but $199 for a screen repair is not out of the realm of possibility.
In addition, the cost of the AppleCare+ warranty increased to $149 for all 6s Plus, and 7 Plus models, as well as the new 8 Plus. The iPhone X warranty will be $199. Older non-plus models will still cost $129 for the warranty.
Beyond the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus pricing, screen repairs for the older IPhone 6 and SE models jumped for $99 to $129, while iPhone 6s and 7 increased from $129 to $149. All Plus models also rose $20 to $169.

As usual, the following rules are still in effect for these prices to apply:
You need to replace your screen due to accidental damage or mishandling. Accidental damage isn't covered by the Apple warranty.
Your iPhone screen gets broken while it's still under warranty and you don't have AppleCare+ coverage.
Your screen stops working and your iPhone isn't covered by the Apple warranty, consumer law, or AppleCare+.
The service pricing was not the only cost to rise with the announcement of the new iPhones. Apple also quietly increased the price of its higher-end iPad Pros tablets by $50 to offset the increase in NAND flash memory components.
