Re: Getting iPhone battery replaced
This may not be the most elegant solution, but how about a battery case. You can find quite a number of them for under $25. It might work for you as temporary solution until you get your battery and then could be useful for times when you will need more battery Eric sseri...@gmail.com (614) 296-9467 On Feb 13, 2018, at 11:17 PM, Donald L.

Re: Getting iPhone battery replaced
Hi Ed, I live in Northern California. My nearest Apple Store is located in Roseville which is perhaps 15 miles from Sacramento. So I called the Roseville store. However, this is not necessarily where my phone was shipped for service. Essentially, Roseville Apple sent me what is tantamount to an RMA number which I subsequently presented along with the iPhone at my local UPS store. UPS boxed up and shipped the phone to an address unknown to me. I subsequently received emails from Apple apprising me that they received the iPhone and later that they had shipped it back to me.

Getting iPhone battery replaced
I am running an iPhone 6 Plus and the most recent version of IOS. Just before the last update, I began to get concerned about my phone's battery. The phone began to feel less responsive, and I did have one occurrence of unexpected shutdown. Using a ride-hailing app and Apple Maps for a half-hour trip can take the battery from 100 percent to 72 percent or less. I close both apps when the trip is complete. When I'm at church, I turn the phone off completely, only to find when I power up the phone a couple of hours later that the battery has lost substantially more charge. I have made an appointment with the Apple store to get a replacement battery, but they couldn't give me a date until late March or April. I hope I can keep the phone working until then. It may mean I don't use SEEING AI as much as I would like, and I may have to do my reading with another device. I have already turned off push notifications from several apps.
