AirPods Repair Cost in Australia
Apple Australia charges $149–$11,499 to replace a single AirPod out of warranty and $99–$11,499 to replace the charging case, with a lost AirPod charged at the same price as a damaged one and a lost case at $99–$11,499. Battery service runs $85–$129. AppleCare+ replaces those repair prices with a single accidental-damage fee of $45 per incident, but it does not cover loss — a lost AirPod is charged at the full price above either way. These are Apple's own published estimates for 13 AirPods models, effective 8 August 2026, in AUD and excluding taxes.

How Apple prices AirPods repairs in Australia
Out of warranty
AirPods are priced per piece rather than per repair. A single earbud, the charging case and battery service each carry their own figure, so one lost AirPod never means buying a whole new set.
- Replace one AirPod: $149–$11,499
- Replace the charging case: $99–$11,499
- Lost charging case: $99–$11,499
- Battery service: $85–$129
With AppleCare+
One fixed accidental-damage fee replaces the prices on the left, for two incidents every 12 months. Loss is the exception — AppleCare+ does not cover it.
- Accidental damage: $45 per incident
- Battery service: no charge below 80% capacity
- Lost AirPod or case: not covered, charged at the price on the left

AirPods repair cost in Australia — frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to replace a lost AirPod in Australia?
Apple Australia sells a single replacement AirPod — left or right — for $149–$11,499, depending on the model. That is the same figure Apple charges for a damaged AirPod, so it makes no difference to the price whether the earbud broke or went missing. AppleCare+ does not help here: it covers accidental damage, not loss, so a lost AirPod is charged at the full price even with cover active. You keep the AirPod you still have — Apple replaces only the missing one, and the new one pairs with your existing case.
How much is an AirPods charging case replacement in Australia?
Apple Australia charges $99–$11,499 for a damaged charging case and $99–$11,499 for a lost one, out of warranty and excluding taxes. The case is priced separately from the earbuds, so losing it does not mean replacing the whole set.
How much is an AirPods battery replacement in Australia?
Apple Australia's out-of-warranty battery service estimate runs $85–$129 — $85 for the in-ear models and $129 for AirPods Max. With AppleCare+ there is no charge once maximum capacity has fallen below 80%. AirPods batteries are not user-replaceable: Apple services the unit rather than fitting a new cell.
Does AppleCare+ cover lost AirPods?
No. AppleCare+ for Headphones covers accidental damage at a fixed fee of $45 per incident, for two incidents every 12 months, and battery service once capacity falls below 80%. Loss and theft are not covered — Apple's published loss pricing is the same whether or not you hold AppleCare+.
Why does AirPods Max only show a battery price?
AirPods Max is over-ear rather than in-ear, so it has no separate earbuds and no charging case — the tiers that make up most of the AirPods pricing table do not apply to it. Battery service is the only repair Apple prices up front for it; other damage is quoted after inspection or handled under AppleCare+.
Do these AirPods prices include tax?
No. Apple Australia publishes these as pre-tax repair-service estimates. Applicable taxes are added on top, and the Apple-authorised service provider sets the final price.
