i phone battery replacement - Page 2

Well for iPhones it’s functionality, reliability and regular update of the iOS - the phones operating system - that improves security and adds more functionality.

Current smartphones in general are an order of magnitude more powerful than the computer aboard the Apollo rockets that took man to the moon.

With smartphones, generally people fall into two camps, either iPhone or Android and both have their die-hard adherents.  Yes, iPhones are expensive and you can’t replace the battery yourself, but I like the huge amount I can do from the phone and the regular iOS updates.

Apropos of that, there is a wonderful app I have started using, EL Parking.  For those that are not yet using the app, it’s available for both Android and iPhone and is the easiest way to buy parking tickets .... no more running to a machine, and ensuring ticket is visible in windscreen; simply set your location, enter (or select if not first time) your registration number, select the amount of time you want to park for and accept.  Done.  You’ve paid for parking.  If you need to extend your ticket, no need to go running back to car, just extend it from the app from the comfort of wherever you are.  If you are parking for longer than the maximum 2 hours, then when end time if 2 hours approaches, move the pointer if where you are parking slightly so it sees a different parking location - I’m talking about moving the pointer about 1mm here - and get a new ticket - it adds the time to current ticket.

Ive been using it in Vera, and checked with the parking inspectors - yep, they know about it - if car doesn’t have a ticket, they check on their device to see if it is registered as parked on EL Parking.  Much simpler and easier .....

This is correct. With the I phone. Get it done by people who know what they are doing .. as with expensive watches when batteries are changed the seals have to be fitted correctly .. ( I got charged 80 pounds for a life time battery change on my cartier watch .. but also a warranty for life on the battery I change my I phone every 2 years so never needed a battery.  But changed a screen once hard work and tedious ...like most things in life. Get the right person to do the job. Otherwise it could cost you a lot more in the end ...

Also another tip do not charge your battery untill it runs down.  Most never leave there’s of the charger this destroys the memory of the phone ( only charge when very low ... and do not keep it plugged into the charger ..

do not do it your iPhone 6 is now out of date it will not update apps now and if you really like the 6 buy another one with a guarantee for a similar price as replacing the battery but my advice would be to update the phone 

Agree with Dario about using an Apple technician.  Cost of a new battery for the iPhone 6 is 55€ - OK more than non-brand but not extravagant.  Other possibility if you think of changing your phone and want an iPhone is to buy a refurb. I got one recently from Amazon, which cost less than half the new price, is in virtually perfect condition and still has 89% of battery  function showing.  On top of that it has a 1 year guarantee from Amazon.  Bought it on the U.K. site and had it shipped to Spain as worked out quite a lot cheaper.

What does your battery health say? Is it less than 80%. I did my own with a kit bought off Amazon .... cost £17.10....... watched videos on you tube on how to use the kit.... working perfect now..... charges great and  still 100% after 6 months. There will come a time where this version no longer updates so why waste money when is pretty straightforward to do. 

Not sure how far you need to use a kit - at least with more recent iOS updates. Just go into settings<battery ( near bottom of section  headed “General”) click battery health.  It then shows maximum capacity and anything over80% should be OK for time being.  Of course this may not be an option if you have a v old model which hasn’t been able to take recent iOS updates

What I meant to say was...... I bought a kit from Amazon which had a brand new battery and the kit of tools to change it myself.
