iPhone 15 Pro Max repair cost

At an independent repair shop, an iPhone 15 Pro Max screen replacement typically costs $329–$459 AUD. Authorised service is significantly more at $499–$649. The DIY route runs $180–$250 for the part plus the right tools, but the difficulty is rated hard on this model.

An iPhone 15 Pro Max battery replacement at an independent shop costs $89–$139 AUD. If your battery health drops below 80% and you're charging more than once a day, replacement pays for itself in convenience within weeks.

Back glass replacement costs $169–$279 AUD at independent shops — significantly cheaper than older iPhones because this is the first generation with truly user-serviceable back glass. If you plan to trade in or sell, fixing the back returns roughly 60–80% of the cost in resale value.

Independent shops are typically 30–50% cheaper and faster, but quality varies. Choose authorised service if: the device is still under warranty, you have AppleCare, or features like Face ID calibration are critical to you. Choose an independent shop if: cost matters, the device is out of warranty, and the shop has documented reviews.

This is the first iPhone with truly user-serviceable back glass. Apple's self-service repair program lists this model. If you do attempt the screen yourself, expect to spend $180–$250 on parts and tools, and budget for a second attempt if it's your first time.

At a competent independent shop: typically 30–60 minutes if they have the part on hand. Authorised service is usually 1–3 business days for in-store, or longer if mailed in. DIY is best estimated as a 2–3 hour job for a first attempt — budget time, not just money.
