Repair & Battery guides

When a device needs more than a settings change, these guides cover your repair and battery options. There are guides to Apple Watch battery replacement and screen repair, AirPods battery replacement, and the repair options Beats and Bose offer for their headphones. Other guides explain how long AirPods and Apple Watch batteries last, and what AppleCare+ is for AirPods and Apple Watch.

Prices on these pages come from the maker's official pages, and each one sits next to the date we checked it. Repair prices and terms change, so compare that date with the maker's page before you book. Each repair guide also lists the fixes to try before you pay, because some problems turn out to be a setting rather than a fault.
