iPhone 14 Plus:
fix it or upgrade?
What Apple charges to fix an iPhone 14 Plus, what it's worth in trade-in, and whether it's smarter to keep it one more year.
Updated 9 November 2026 · US prices, before sales tax
Usually, fix it. A new battery costs $99, about 14% of the $689 a new iPhone 17 costs after trading in your iPhone 14 Plus. A screen repair is $329, about 48% of that.
The one thing no repair can give it is Apple Intelligence. If you want that, upgrading is the only route.

How long will it get updates?
Apple has typically supported iPhones with iOS updates for about seven years. On that pattern, the iPhone 14 Plus (released 2022) has roughly 3 more years of updates. That's our estimate, not an Apple promise.
Fix it when
- Battery health is under 80%, or the phone dies before the day ends. $99 fixes both.
- You only have one crack to repair, and the phone otherwise does everything you need.
- You want it to last another year or two without spending hundreds.
Upgrade when
- You want Apple Intelligence. It needs an iPhone 15 Pro, or any iPhone 16 or newer.
- Several things are broken at once. Screen and back glass together cost $419, and other damage is $659.
Worth knowing
Other damage, such as water or a broken Face ID, costs $659, against $609 on the iPhone 14.
Trade-in is up to $210, $15 more than for an iPhone 14.
Keeping it is greener too. Making a new iPhone 17 creates about 44 kg of CO₂e, according to Apple's environmental report. That's roughly the same as driving a car 110 miles.
