Why are there price ranges?

The same Macbook repair can have a different price on a different machine. For instance, a keyboard an A1278 would be $175. On a Macbook Air , it is riveted into the case, increasing complexity of the repair, so the price goes up to $225 + tax. On the Macbook Pro Retina, it is even more involved with adhesed in battery removal being required, so the price goes up to $250 + tax. On the newest models, the keyboards are very expensive, so it is $350 + tax.

Why is Apple’s cost to repair liquid damage so expensive?

Apple replaces everything.

Even if the issue with your machine is a bent pin on a cable: at the Genius bar, they prescribe replacing everything. Apple’s methodology is not to diagnose specific issues and target repairing them, but to replace everything under a flat rate program once they see liquid damage. The downside to this method is evident in the pricing. It allows streamlined repairs to be prescribed by low skilled employees, but it is not the best solution for the budget conscientious customer. See below CBC News’ take on the Genius Bar.

Apple often pushes you to buy a new one.

When you go to the store with an issue, the solution prescribed is often to purchase a new one, if repair cost is too high. Apple’s money doesn’t come from economical repairs of old devices – but sale of new ones.
