Pre -orders from the iPhone 13 began and millions of orders have been placed, but Apple fans must also be informed of an astonishing late change that Apple has brought to the price of the iPhone 13.

In a surprising gesture, Apple has confirmed that the rear window of the iPhone 13 range is now at the same price as repairing an iPhone screen and this decision will allow buyers to save hundreds of dollars.In addition, owners of iPhone 12 models will also benefit.

Apple details changes to its official iPhone repair and service page.The company explains that for Applecare+subscribers, damage to the screen and the rear window of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 ranges will now cost only 29 dollars to repair.Previously, the rear window was classified in the “other damage” category, with truly exorbitant prices for anyone who did not subscribe to the service:

Please note, Applecare+ is not cheap.You will have to pay from $ 149 for basic protection of the iPhone 13 and the iPhone 13 Mini and 219 dollars for additional flight and assistance protection.The price increases to 199 dollars for the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max and 269 dollars for additional protection against flight and assistance.Yes, that's a lot, but this is an almost essential supplement for all iPhone 13 buyers.

That said, there is also a more worrying aspect for this news.The leaks of the iPhone 13 suggested that Apple was looking for a more effective way to replace the rear window on new phones to reduce costs.The Applecare+ price suggested that Apple had found this means, but the combination of almost identical equipment and the retroactive inclusion of the models from last year by the company make us doubt.In addition, it is a relevant question to wonder why the owners of iPhone 12 have faced such high costs so far.

If you choose to see this news as Apple providing improvements for its customers or a historic exploitation, it will depend on your attitude towards the company in general.Meanwhile, Apple did not offer the Applecare+ service improved to the old iPhone - including the iPhone 11 and iPhone X range - which, without a doubt, indicates the desire of the company that these customers buy an iPhone 13.

That said, if you, or one of your knowledge, have an iPhone 12 or plan to buy an iPhone 13, you must be aware of these substantial modifications of service.In the end, this is an extremely welcome upgrade that could help convince iPhone fans to separate from their money.Unless they saw the first images of the iPhone 14.
