Apple Battery Replacement Program 2019 ($69 and $99)

[ichinisan]

If you send to Apple, Apple will test to make sure it is working fine before releasing it to you. If it does not pass their test and they can't rectify it, they may do whole unit replacement. So always backup before you go replace.

They also provide 90 days warranty post replacement.

Ok. Thanks for the info!

I don't recall having to give Apple my passcode to replace the battery. Should be good enough protection, they ain't gonna crack a 6 digit passcode in 2 hours.
*I trust the official Apple store, i defo don't trust a 3rd party with my phone out of my sight.

iirc e  staff just told me to disable “Find My” then after about 2hrs got e phone back. of course to play safe always backup before u head down

Ok. Will definitely do a backup of my phone to be safe. Thanks!

You can pay for replacement if that's what you are asking about?

You can check Apple SG website, they will publish whenever there's any recall program.

Thanks for the reminder.

Just scheduled an appointment to change the battery for our aging iPhone 7+ 256GB this Saturday at Apple Marina Bay Sands. My son still likes it -- he just needs Youtube.

We changed the battery of iPhone X 256GB last year and it now shows battery health of 93% after one year. Now it is the backup phone for my wife as she upgraded to iPhone 14 512GB a few months ago.

Previously we also changed the battery for an iPhone 6S 128GB version and I used it as a backup phone for a while. Now it is still alive but not used any more.

They just announced apparently

They may also increase accordingly and if the price diff is still quite “minimal” it might still be worth to just go apple to do it

Even if increase just get the oem battery instead of original one from this kind of store. Oem battery are like 50% off the original one they sell. Imo don’t know if their original is even actually original, so might as well get the cheaper oem ones.

i mean diff ppl sees it differently lor. sometimes they prefer the "brand" as extra guaranteed. since apple replacement got warranty for 3 months.

what do you mean "don’t know if their original is even actually original", if the original manufacturer cannot even say it is original. then who can?

As in those 3rd party store who sell “original” battery. Mistermobile has oem battery $50 and “original” battery $90. Some say oem battery is as good as original while others say those oem are 2nd hand taken from other iPhone.

Just curious, when you replace battery at 3rd party does the battery health counter reset? Or only when you do at Apple then they will reset ?
