Apple Support: Case Replacement Costs?

[contacos]

My AirPod Pro case is not charging anymore (the case is actually getting warm but it is not charging, hence my AirPods also remaining dead).

I checked the Apple support page and they are charging 65 EUR for the battery replacement but double that! to replace a "broken" AirPod Pro case. How do they define a "broken" case? A case that does not hold a charge anymore is technically broken as well no? Should I just pick "battery replacement" and hope they replace it for the cheaper fee?

Kind of a rip off to charge double for the same thing considering they are not actually going to replace the battery of a case and give you a new case in both instances.

I paid $89 a couple of years ago for a replacement case for my AirPods Pro. As long as your case isn’t physically damaged, you should be good to go with the battery replacement idea.
130 euro makes no sense

Worked by the way 👍🏼 was acting a little stupid to get him away from trying to charge me for „hardware issue“ instead of simply battery issue replacement.

Happy to know!
