The batteries cost 20-30 dollars. The installation does not.

Ah, that makes sense. People wouldn't apply a screen protector for 5-7 dollars in North America. Let alone replace a smart phone battery.

What the hell?! $7 to apply a screen protector? I can get 7 screen protectors for that price here! It barely needs any skill to apply a tempered glass screen protector, you better watch some youtube videos and hereafter apply them yourself.

I can find 1 price here in Denmark

battery + installation for 145 dollars (in an iphone 12 pro)

There's really not a lot of places where they offer battery replacement

did find another place that sells (some) batteries. Iphone SE 2020 battery for ~15 bucks - but they didn't even have batteries for most phones

That’s higher than the official 110$ Apple asks in Denmark

I didn't actually check before.

But yes

apple does provide official prices for reparing the battery outside warranty (within warranty it's free)

399 for the older models (model 8 and older) (65 dollars)

and 539 for the XR and newer. (88 dollars)

Screens are between 193 to 460 dollars

Apple always charges lot of money for parts , not comparable to most android phones .

Installation (including battery) can easily cost $100 in a lot of western countries. Apple charges about $90 for their battery replacement on the higher end phones, and even a cheap repair shop might only reduce that to ~$60.

True, it's a reasonable cost. I mean, I'm just going to throw on Lineage OS and would consider replacing my device after 3 years pretty early, without replacing the battery, but everybody has their own preferences.

The installation does not.

Literally the installation costs 20-30 too. At worst it’s 60 for a new battery+oem installation

Installation is half an hour worth of work. That's like $80 battery included.
