RE: iPhone SE battery
Do you have your phone set for Wi-Fi calling? I don't know if the new ones come so that when you set up Wi-Fi,l calling is too, but you have a SE too, and we have to set ours, if we want it. In Settings, maybe in General, can't remember exactly, there is Wi-Fi calling, where you have to go into it and fill in the fields. It has made a difference for me receiving calls, and even making some of them.

Re: iPhone SE battery
Great about your 99 percent! Oh, seeing as AT doesn't provide internet service here in my rural area and I want to stay with them, I used the personal hotspot feature for all of my computer or braille notetaker internet needs.

RE: iPhone SE battery
You don't have to take it to an Apple store. There are lots of third party vendors who are authorized to do iPhone repairs. Also being an SE, I'm guessing you're out of warranty? Basically, just jump on yelp or Google for apple repair services in your area and you'll likely find something. Being a simple battery replacement on an SE, it shouldn't be all that complicated. My sighted wife swapped out the battery on an old 5S we have by herself early last year for example. We just bought the new battery that came with all necessary tools for something like $25 and she went on iFixIt and watched some YouTube videos and voila. Old 5S with a brand spanking new battery. I think starting with the 7 and up, do it yourself repairs became a lot harder, but for the SE, it shouldn't be all that complicated to get the battery replaced somehow some way. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Vicky Collins Sent: Monday, September 30, 2019 5:29 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: iPhone SE battery Thanks all for the responses.

RE: iPhone SE battery
Not only Apple can do a battery replacement, many third-party repair places can easily replace an iPhone battery for $50 or $60, I think it's overkill to buy a new or refurbished phone if the other one is in good shape and all it needs is a new battery. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Vicky Collins Sent: Monday, September 30, 2019 5:29 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: iPhone SE battery Thanks all for the responses.

RE: iPhone SE battery
I bought my new SE a year and a half ago, and recent checked showed peak battery at 99 percent. I don't know why there should be such a difference. Of course, our phone habits might be different. I talk as much as I want to, sometimes several hours a day, ask Siri for a lot of information, do some texting and rare emailing on it. Two hours each day, I do a tinnitus treatment program using Bluetooth. The only reason I'm saying all of this is to get some kind of idea about battery. My SE is a 32 gb.

But, my question here is, is it worth me giving my old iPhone SE to my sister, or am I doing her a disservice in the end because of the lower battery capacity? Anyway, since my sighted sister is using a four-year-old $19 pay as you go phone from AT, a 3G phone where she can no longer get a signal in her house in the rural area where we live, I purchased a used iPhone 7 from one of the blindness lists , thinking to give it to her. However, grin, I made the mistake of giving her the choice between my iPhone SE and the 7, and she preferred the smaller SE. I haven't yet given her the phone because she is on my brother's account, and he needs to go to the AT store here to get her the new SIM card for the phone, since the phone she has now takes a micro SIM. I did, though, confirm that the phone would indeed work at her house. And, just before I reset the phone to factory defaults, I checked its battery health, and the maximum capacity given for that phone was 81 percent. It did say that the battery was supporting normal peak performance. As I've mentioned previously, my source of internet right now is via personal hotspot, my choice as I'm not yet ready to leave AT, and I guess it didn't do the battery on the SE any good. I purchased the phone new from Amazon a little over a year ago, so guess I'll have to watch my battery care a bit better with my future phones. As a side note for anyone still reading, I did go to AT store a while back and get a SIM card for a second line for myself. With my AT Unlimited and more Premium plan, we discussed both the second line or adding some sort of wireless hotspot device to my one-line plan. If memory serves, the rep told me that, if I were to choose the wireless device, I would get 50 GB of data, a home phone number but I wouldn't necessarily have to use it, and I could either pay the $200 for the hotspot device, or I could pay it off in monthly payments. So, since I already had a second iPhone, I just opted for the second line with its additional 15 GB of mobile hotspot. And, of course, I can just cancel this second line at any time. Oh, one more side note, even though I can use the hotspot on my Nokia 6 to backup my iPhones to iCloud here at my apartment, I still can't use this same feature on one iPhone to backup the other, even though each iPhone has its own SIM card now, something about poor network conditions.

Re: iPhone SE battery
Thanks all for the responses. Yeah, I did read some of the articles about 80 percent not being so good. However, since my sister doesn't drive and we aren't near an Apple store, anyway, I figure by the time I paid for a cab to go to the post office, paid shipping both ways, and paid for the replacement, I may as well try to see if I can find her a used SE somewhere with a better battery. I've been trying for about six weeks now to get my brother to go to AT to get the SIM exchanged, but he just doesn't get in any hurry. But maybe I'll see if they still have any refurbish SE phones at AT, as it can't hurt to ask. - Original Message - From: Sieghard Weitzel To: "viphone@googlegroups.com" Date: Monday, September 30, 2019 2:01 am Subject: RE: iPhone SE battery > > > And 81% is not actually so good.

RE: iPhone SE battery
Dear Vicky & List: Best way to have a long battery life is keep the phone plugged in wherever a wall outlet exists. Used to plug my iPhone into a convenient wall outlet at the mall to keep it well-charged while awaiting my Para Transpo ride home. You can have the battery replaced in your SE before giving it to your sighted sister. Then she has a phone as good as new! Brian K. Lingard Brian K. Lingard From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf of Vicky Collins Sent: Monday, September 30, 2019 1:49 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: iPhone SE battery As you can tell, I do tend to switch iPhones from time to time, but haven't yet ventured into trying the ones with face ID. But my question here is, is it worth me giving my old iPhone SE to my sister, or am I doing her a disservice in the end because of the lower battery capacity? Anyway, since my sighted sister is using a four-year-old $19 pay as you go phone from AT, a 3G phone where she can no longer get a signal in her house in the rural area where we live, I purchased a used iPhone 7 from one of the blindness lists , thinking to give it to her. However, grin, I made the mistake of giving her the choice between my iPhone SE and the 7, and she preferred the smaller SE. I haven't yet given her the phone because she is on my brother's account, and he needs to go to the AT store here to get her the new SIM card for the phone, since the phone she has now takes a micro SIM. I did, though, confirm that the phone would indeed work at her house. And, just before I reset the phone to factory defaults, I checked its battery health, and the maximum capacity given for that phone was 81 percent. It did say that the battery was supporting normal peak performance. As I've mentioned previously, my source of internet right now is via personal hotspot, my choice as I'm not yet ready to leave AT, and I guess it didn't do the battery on the SE any good. I purchased the phone new from Amazon a little over a year ago, so guess I'll have to watch my battery care a bit better with my future phones. As a side note for anyone still reading, I did go to AT store a while back and get a SIM card for a second line for myself. With my AT Unlimited and more Premium plan, we discussed both the second line or adding some sort of wireless hotspot device to my one-line plan. If memory serves, the rep told me that, if I were to choose the wireless device, I would get 50 GB of data, a home phone number but I wouldn't necessarily have to use it, and I could either pay the $200 for the hotspot device, or I could pay it off in monthly payments. So, since I already had a second iPhone, I just opted for the second line with its additional 15 GB of mobile hotspot. And, of course, I can just cancel this second line at any time. Oh, one more side note, even though I can use the hotspot on my Nokia 6 to back up my iPhones to iCloud here at my apartment, I still can't use this same feature on one iPhone to back up the other, even though each iPhone has its own SIM card now, something about poor network conditions. Wonder if I should've gotten that wireless device instead, and why the Nokia will let me backup with the hotspot feature while the iPhone won't? -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

RE: iPhone SE battery
And 81% is not actually so good. When I went to Apple last year with my 6S Plus for their battery replacement offer my battery's capacity was at 84% and they said I would definitely qualify for the $35 Canadian battery replacement they offered until the end of last year. But even at the regular price your sister would probably get a lot more enjoyment out of your old iPhone SE if you or she were to get the battery replaced. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of lenron brown Sent: Sunday, September 29, 2019 10:56 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: iPhone SE battery She would honestly be fine with the SE On 9/30/19, Vicky Collins wrote: > As you can tell, I do tend to switch iPhone's from time to time, but > haven't yet ventured into trying the ones with face ID.

iPhone SE battery
As you can tell, I do tend to switch iPhone's from time to time, but haven't yet ventured into trying the ones with face ID.
