iPhone 17 teardown overview
Apple has published official repair part prices for the iPhone 17 series, clarifying how much individual hardware components cost to replace. The standard iPhone 17 has now been disassembled in detail, complementing earlier teardowns of the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro.
Accessing the internals
Getting inside the iPhone 17 follows a familiar routine for recent Apple phones. The process starts by removing the two pentalobe screws at the bottom edge of the device, which Apple itself prices at just \$0.18 apiece.
Official repair part prices
Apple’s components for the iPhone 17 are clearly positioned in the premium segment.
- Replacement back glass panel: \$159
- Replacement battery: \$99
- Battery price with old unit returned to Apple: \$51
- Display (screen) replacement: \$329
This pricing structure highlights how cosmetic or routine repairs can quickly become expensive compared to the base screw hardware.
Other key component costs
Beyond the display and battery, several functional modules also have high official prices.
- Front-facing camera and Face ID sensor assembly: \$199
- Dual rear camera module: \$169
- Earpiece plus 5G mmWave antenna unit: \$67
- Taptic Engine vibration motor: \$67.08
These figures underline that even relatively small modules contribute significantly to the overall repair bill.
Author summary
Apple keeps the familiar, simple opening procedure for the iPhone 17, but the official prices for major replacement parts remain steep, making out-of-warranty repairs notably costly for users.
