The cost of getting one AirPod damaged can vary depending on a few factors. Firstly, if you have AppleCare+ coverage, the cost of replacement or repair will be significantly lower. However, if you don’t have AppleCare+, the expenses can be quite steep.
For out-of-warranty AirPods, the cost to replace each individual earbud is $69 USD. This means that if only one AirPod gets damaged, you would need to pay $69 to get it replaced. It’s worth mentioning that this cost applies to both the left and right earbuds, so if you damage both, you would need to pay $138 for replacements.
In addition to the individual earbuds, the wireless charging case and the MagSafe charging case also have a replacement cost of $69 each. If you happen to damage either of these cases, you would need to pay $69 for a replacement. However, if you have the wired charging case, the replacement cost is slightly lower at $59.
It’s important to note that these prices are in USD and may vary slightly depending on your location and currency. Additionally, these costs are provided by Apple and can change over time, so it’s always a good idea to check with Apple or authorized service providers for the most up-to-date pricing information.
Replacing or repairing an AirPod can be costly, especially if you don’t have AppleCare+ coverage. It’s always a good idea to handle your AirPods with care and consider investing in a protective case or insurance to avoid any potential damage.
