Apple recently announced that starting from March 1 this year, all iPhone out-of-warranty battery replacement costs before iPhone14 will increase by 169 yuan. Taking the iPhone13 series as an example, the current battery replacement cost is 519 yuan, and the cost after the price increase will be 688 yuan; 688 yuan is not a concept, you can almost buy a Redmi 12C!
The Redmi 12C launched by Xiaomi yesterday starts at only 699 yuan. It is equipped with a MediaTek G85 chip and starts with a 4GB+64GB storage combination. The battery capacity is 5000mAh and supports 10W charging. The purchase cost of such a smartphone can only be used to replace a battery for the iPhone 13 series. Apple is not very kind.
As a comparison, Xiaozhai has found the current battery replacement quotations for flagship mobile phones of domestic mainstream brands. Friends, you can experience it.
The first is Huawei . Taking Huawei Mate50 Pro as an example, the official website shows that the battery replacement cost of this machine is 219 yuan; in fact, the cost of batteries used in mainstream flagship mobile phones is not very different. Part of the battery replacement service is labor cost, and some profits are left to the store, so it is more expensive than most third parties.
But it is worth mentioning that Huawei also provides a "fixed price" battery replacement service. The battery replacement cost for older models is as low as 99 yuan. For example, the battery replacement cost for the Huawei Mate10 series is 99 yuan, and the battery replacement cost for the Huawei Mate30 series is 129 yuan. Xiaozhai believes that these are relatively generous, after all, the official also provides warranty services.
and then Xiaomi . Taking the latest Xiaomi 13 Pro as an example, the official website shows that the battery cost of this machine is 159 yuan, the labor cost is 40 yuan, and the comprehensive cost of replacing the battery is 199 yuan, which is not much different from Huawei Mate50 Pro; the cost of replacing the battery of Redmi mobile phones is relatively low, such as Redmi K50 The Ultra's battery cost is 129 yuan, the labor cost is 40 yuan, and the overall cost is 169 yuan (see, the increase in iPhone battery replacement costs is enough to replace a Redmi K50 Ultra battery).
As for activities, Xiaomi has corresponding maintenance and battery replacement activities every month. The models are different every month. The maintenance and battery replacement costs at this time will have corresponding discounts. For example, this month, the battery replacement cost of Xiaomi MIX4 was originally 199 yuan, and now it is only 159.2 yuan. The battery replacement cost of Xiaomi 11 Ultra was originally 219 yuan, and the current price is 175.2 yuan.
In addition, manufacturers also have "half-price battery replacement" activities on specific event days, which can cost as little as tens of dollars, which is much more kind than Apple.
If all iPhones on sale support IP68 waterproof and dustproof, the cost of battery replacement will be relatively high. However, many domestic flagship mobile phones currently also support IP68 waterproof and dustproof, but the cost of battery replacement is only about 200. Compared with Apple’s current price of more than 500 yuan, domestic manufacturers are still more generous.
Xiaozhai believes that the battery replacement cost of flagship mobile phones is around 200 yuan, which is more reasonable because this price not only allows users to replace batteries with safe and after-sales services, but also allows manufacturers to make profits. However, Apple directly sets the battery replacement cost at 500 to 600 yuan, and also raises the price. It seems that Apple has become obsessed with pursuing profits.
