if still under warranty, then go apple else go to a reliable store.

i usually go to mac.infinity at funan.

call first to check if they still have stock - they may no longer have stock for older models.

Never did it before but been considering. Will def do it at Apple. iPhone is a complicated product and I don’t trust the integrity of ah benga to not mess with other parts

my sis brought her old iphone XS to replace battery at apple store. I guess they messed up so apple replaced her with a new (refurnished) unit....

Go for battery replacement only if your battery capacity is below 80%. You can check under battery in settings. If there are other issues, it could be a rogue app not playing well with your phone.

When replacing batt at apple store, need to turn off phone or log out all my app accounts before handing over my phone to their staff? For security purpose of course.

Why must factory reset? Just backup the phone will do? They also cannot login to your phone?

So backup to iCloud is just a precaution right in case data get lost?

Usually just changing of batteries doesn’t affect the data inside the phones?
