Human brains degrade too. What’s more it’s a battery?!

That shows you how ugly some humans can be, taking advantage of others.

If one's Maximum Capacity is not at least below 80% after a year, the problem (most likely) isn't the battery, it is the user who uses the phone a lot.

My iPhone 8 is 24 months old now and the capacity is at 90%.

I can’t imagine how could the battery health decreases by 10% within a year. Mine is now at 88% after 22months.
Either you are a heavy gamer or a heavy gamer. :eek:

Damn good already. Mine now 90% lol :s22: Just changed last December lol 😂 using iPhone X

Can someone help me with some of the questions i have:

1. The apple support told me there's no battery level requirements to make the change under limited warranty - true? Seems like a few users said its not.

2. How long will the change take? Do they provide like a phone during the repair?

3. Do i have to backup data and wipe my phone for the change?

Thank you.

Nope, unless your battery status show replace required or you willing to pay $99.

2. How long will the change take? Do they provide like a phone during the repair?

Usually about 2-3 hours

3. Do i have to backup data and wipe my phone for the change?

Yes, do backup first before send in for service but no t required to wipe your phone

1. true they didnt check mine, just replaced last week iphone x.
2. depends on where you going to do it, if there are'nt much issues, they replaced it for me within 2 hours.
3. yes back up so you can restore later, i was given a new phone, they didn't just replace the battery... even if they are just replacing the battery, should always back up.
hope that helps :)
