AirPods 4 (ANC) repair cost — frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to replace one lost AirPods 4 (ANC) in Australia?
Apple Australia sells a single replacement AirPods 4 (ANC) earbud — left or right — for $11,499, excluding taxes. That is the same price Apple charges for a damaged one, so it makes no difference whether the earbud broke or went missing. You keep the one you still have; the replacement pairs with your existing case. AppleCare+ does not reduce this — it covers accidental damage, not loss.
How much is a AirPods 4 (ANC) battery replacement in Australia?
Apple Australia's out-of-warranty battery service estimate for the AirPods 4 (ANC) is $85, excluding taxes. 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.
How much is a replacement AirPods 4 (ANC) charging case in Australia?
Apple Australia charges $11,499 for a damaged AirPods 4 (ANC) charging case and $139 for a lost one, excluding taxes. The case is priced separately from the earbuds, so losing it does not mean replacing the whole set.
Does AppleCare+ cover a lost AirPods 4 (ANC)?
No. AppleCare+ for Headphones covers accidental damage at a fixed $45 per incident, for two incidents every 12 months, and battery service once maximum capacity falls below 80%. There is no loss or theft cover, so the replacement prices on this page apply whether or not AppleCare+ is active.
Do these AirPods 4 (ANC) 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.
