Got some scratches on my phone and was wondering how much it would cost if I were to get a replacement for the iPhone 16 pro max if I have apple care.
iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18
Yes, muguy and Bob are correct. Scratches are considered cosmetic and are not covered by the standard Apple Warranty or Apple Care unless they affect the performance of the product.
I’m a former Apple Store manager and have discussed the matter with many customers over the years. I know it’s disappointing, especially when a device is new. My best advice is purchase a screen protector and many times it hides the scratches and you can’t even see them.

AppleCare does not cover cosmetic damage, so if you want a new iPhone 16 Pro Max, you will have to buy it.
How much will it cost if I need a screen replacement for the iPhone 16 pro max with apple care?
