If you’ve cracked your iPhone’s Touch ID button or it’s no longer working, you may be wondering how much it will cost to repair. The cost of a Touch ID repair can vary depending on the specific issue and whether you have AppleCare coverage.
Replacing the Touch ID Button
If your iPhone’s Touch ID button is physically damaged, such as a crack or dent, you’ll need to replace the entire screen assembly. According to Apple’s support page, screen repairs for iPhones cost $129 in the US, but this price may vary in other countries.
However, simply replacing the Touch ID button itself is not possible, as it’s integrated into the screen. Apple Stores and Authorized Service Providers don’t have access to the individual Touch ID button part.
Additional Damage and Replacement
If there is additional damage to your iPhone beyond the Touch ID button, such as a cracked screen or other issues, the repair cost may increase. In some cases, if the damage is severe enough, Apple may determine that a full replacement is necessary.
For iPhones without AppleCare , the replacement cost is $299 in the US. With AppleCare , you’ll pay a service fee of $29 for each incident of accidental damage, and Apple will cover the rest of the repair or replacement cost.
It’s important to note that if you don’t know your iPhone’s passcode, you won’t be able to reset the Touch ID or get into the device. In this case, you’ll need to contact Apple Support for further assistance.
