Our local store won't replace the battery. They will charge a fee to replace the unit instead.

Re: replacing the IPhone's battery?
Hello, no. Carrier stores do not service iPhones. They might do replacements though, and I'm not really sure of that.

Re: replacing the IPhone's battery?
Found the following great article directly from Apple regarding batteries on iDevices: http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html Maximum Battery Life: iPhone 5 offers up to 8 hours of talk time on 3G, 8 hours of Internet use on 3G, 10 hours of Internet use on Wi-Fi, 10 hours of video playback, or 40 hours of audio playback on a full charge at original capacity. In addition, iPhone 5 features up to 225 hours of standby time. Charge Cycles: A properly maintained iPhone battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 400 full charge and discharge cycles. You may choose to replace your battery when it no longer holds sufficient charge to meet your needs. Let It Breathe: Charging your iPhone while in certain carrying cases may generate excess heat, which can affect battery capacity. If you notice that your iPhone gets hot when you charge it, take it out of its case first.

Re: replacing the IPhone's battery?
The battery in your iPhone is not a user replaceable battery. It needs to be a shop job. I've known a few people to have batteries replaced. Apple recommends you charge your battery fully and then let it run down and repeat the cycle several times. This usually gets your battery status to sort of reset it's self. Many batteries do not need to be replaced only reset.

Hi, Just for refference to myself, if my IPhone battery would ever need to be replaced can I do it myself? or should I take it somewhere and have it done.

Re: replacing the IPhone's battery?
No you must get it replaced at an Apple store or authorized reseller. The battery is soldered into the circuit board making it user irreplaceable.

Check out www.ifixit.com for tools and instructions. It's not that difficult. Unless you have a 5 in which case it is.

Re: replacing the IPhone's battery?
Apple would do it, any sign to them of anyone else having tried, and they wouldn't bother. - Original Message - From: Troy Sullivan troysulliva...@gmail.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, May 03, 2013 9:12 PM Subject: replacing the IPhone's battery?
