Apple’s Watch Ultra will cost you scary amounts of money to repair



If you choose to get the brand-new, high-end Apple Watch Ultra, purchasing AppleCare+ protection is generally a good option. According to MacRumors, an Apple Watch Ultra repair without AppleCare+ will set you back a staggering $499. In addition to being almost two-thirds of the $799 Ultra’s price, that amount also covers the price of an Apple Watch Series 8 with cellular connectivity.

For repairs to physical damage to the device, Apple will charge a $499 cost. AppleCare+ covers “unlimited incidences of accidental damage protection” during the coverage period, although there is a $79 service charge for repairs. Even if you have AppleCare+, Apple will charge $99 to replace the battery. Without AppleCare+ protection, Apple Watch Series 8 repairs range in price from $299 to $399 (the product starts at $399). With AppleCare+, there is a $69 service charge. You will have to pay between $199 and $229 for Apple Watch SE repairs that are not covered by AppleCare+. The cost of a new battery for a non-Ultra model is $79.

We spent some time this week using the Ultra in the meanwhile. Although the device appears to be more durable than past Apple Watch models, it is still susceptible to damage, thus forking over $99 for AppleCare+ coverage, you could spare your pocketbook a much sharper sting.
