How much does it cost to repair Apple Vision Pro

Making AppleCare seem like a sensible purchase, Apple has revealed that some repairs to an Apple Vision Pro will cost around 70% of the price of a new one.

Apple is steadily revealing more details about Apple Vision Pro now that pre-orders have started, such as the pricing for different models. It's also released the price for AppleCare insurance, which is $499.

Users who buy AppleCare will see a substantial difference in repair costs. During the lifetime of the AppleCare coverage, users can have as many repair incidents as they need — but each one comes with a fee of $299.

Without AppleCare coverage, however, all repair costs are higher. Apple divides Apple Vision Pro repairs into two categories, "Cracked cover glass," and everything else.

To repair a cracked cover glass, Apple estimates that it will cost $799. That's the only named repair work, but the estimated cost for "Other damage" is $2,399.

Detail from Apple's repair options for Apple Vision Pro

Apple's repair page does also have a separate section regarding battery servicing.

"We can replace your Apple Vision Pro battery for a fee," it says. "Our warranty doesn't cover batteries that wear down from normal use."

"Your product is eligible for a battery replacement at no additional cost if you have AppleCare+," continues Apple, "and your product's battery holds less than 80 percent of its original capacity."

Oddly, battery replacement is not listed with the other repair types, and Apple also does not reveal a fee. Separately, Apple has included a battery in its initial selection of Apple Vision Pro accessories, though, where it costs $199.

That’s a terrible deal. $499/$2,399 is about 21% so that would mean that about one of every five would have to break (for whatever time period it applies) before Apple wouldn’t profit for the repairs and that isn’t even considering the $299 charge.

This is an amazing piece of hardware that I will never own! 1st world problems. :D

This kit is really for industry and developers. Easy to see the medical and military applications, along with a whole lot of other commercial application.s But as a consumer device it's upper middle-class or higher for those with money to blow. :#

Yes! $499 PLUS an additional $299 if you need service. That's roughly 25% of the total purchase price for any repair, and that's with insurance!!! And Apple is almost forcing you to take the insurance because your potential cost to repair without the insurance is insane. Honestly, insurance rates that are THIS high cause me to wonder what Apple knows about the likelihood of Vision Pro needing repairs.
