iPhone 17 Self-Service Repair Prices: What Apple Parts Cost for Each Model

Apple has quietly flipped the switch on Self-Service Repair support for the entire iPhone 17 family, publishing step-by-step manuals and stocking official spare parts in its store. The headline? Some fixes are fairly reasonable, others will sting – especially if you crack the biggest display in the lineup. These parts, along with the manuals, also contribute to the small but welcome repairability score upticks this generation.

Below is a clear breakdown of Apple’s own pricing for the most common components. These are the parts you’d buy if you plan to follow Apple’s manuals and complete the repair yourself or through a trusted local technician using Apple’s process.

Patterns you should notice

• Back glass parity: Replacement back glass costs $159 across all four models. If your only damage is a shattered rear panel, the bill is predictable regardless of which iPhone 17 you own.
• Front camera flat rate: The front camera sits at $199 for the entire range, another welcome bit of price consistency.
• Battery tiers: The base iPhone 17 is the outlier at $99. Every other model – the iPhone Air, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max – lands at $119 for a battery swap.
• Displays split in two: Most iPhone 17 displays cost $329. Only the Pro Max climbs higher, to $379, reflecting its larger, more advanced panel.

What does “Enclosure with the Battery” mean?

This part bundles the main frame (the enclosure) with a factory-installed battery – useful when structural damage, warped frames, or stubborn adhesive make a simple battery replacement risky or time-consuming. Prices jump here: $236 for the base iPhone 17 and $299 for Air/Pro/Pro Max. It’s essentially the heavy-duty option when a straightforward battery swap won’t cut it.

DIY realities: cost, time, and calibration

Apple’s Self-Service Repair path isn’t just about ordering parts. You’ll follow the official manual, use appropriate tools, and complete software steps to calibrate certain components after installation. That can restore features like True Tone, ensure battery health readings are accurate, and confirm everything plays nicely with the phone’s security systems.

Those tools add to total cost if you don’t already have them, and complex repairs may take patience. If your priority is keeping the device’s seals and cosmetic fit as close to factory as possible, the manuals help, but experience still matters. For cracked backs or worn batteries, the numbers above give you a reliable baseline to compare against third-party shops or an Apple Store visit.

How to decide what’s worth repairing

If you own the base iPhone 17, the $99 battery stands out as the most affordable long-term maintenance item. For the Pro Max crowd, protect that display – $379 is the steepest single-part price on the list. Back glass at $159 is uniform, so aesthetics-only fixes won’t penalize Pro buyers. In short: the lineup brings rare price consistency for several parts, with the Pro Max screen being the big exception.

Whether you go DIY or choose professional service, these official prices provide a transparent reference point – and a reminder that a sturdy case and screen protector can be the cheapest “repair” you ever make.
