\u00a0Should I replace the battery in my iPhone, or upgrade?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple charges either $49, $69, or $99 to\u00a0replace the battery<\/strong>, depending on the model. Even at the $99 price point \u2014 you’re looking at spending more money if you decide to upgrade. three four, or even five years, you may just be ready to upgrade. So let’s be honest \u2014 plenty of people are going to think about upgrading instead of repairing, so we’re going to explore the upgrade options first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spending $439+ to buy an\u00a0iPhone 13<\/strong>\u00a0may be a bit over budget compared to a $99 battery replacement cost \u2014 but if your current iPhone is already a few years old, the added cost will be offset because you are just as likely to also use this new iPhone for several years into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iPhone battery replacement costOne of the most common iPhone repairs is replacing the battery. And, as a result of being such a common repair \u2014 it can often be completed relatively quickly.\u00a0
As you’ll notice in the table below, Apple charges either $49, $69, or $99 for a battery replacement. The $99 price point is for the current generation iPhone 14 family, the $69 price point is for most other ‘newer’ models, and the $49 price point is for ‘older’ models such as the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. A local repair shop is generally going to be close in price, but there is a potential to pay more for some models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While price is obviously important, you should also consider your time. Not everyone has an Apple Store close to where they live or work, so that may rule out the Apple Store as an option. To be fair,\u00a0Apple does offer battery repair service by mai<\/strong>l, but that adds an additional $6.95 to the cost and it also means you’ll be without your phone while it is being shipped and repaired, which is less than ideal. This is the point when people start thinking about doing the repair themselves or begin trying to find a local repair shop for same-day service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I replace the battery in my iPhone?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The short and simple answer is NO, you should not try to\u00a0replace the battery in your iPhone.\u00a0<\/strong>The truth is, while we often want to think we are capable of handling certain tasks, there are some things better left to the professionals. Smartphone repair is one of those tasks, so let’s put aside the thoughts of trying to save money by swapping your\u00a0iPhone’s battery<\/strong>\u00a0all by yourself and focusing on more important things, such as finding a trusted local repair shop.
Apple Self-Service RepairOn the topic of the right to repair: In November 2021, Apple announced the \u201cSelf Service Repair\u201d program and launched it in early 2022. This repair program provides kits that include genuine Apple parts along with the necessary tools and manuals to complete the repair This option may be worth considering, but it means getting large and heavy items shipped to you by Apple, then doing the repair, and then shipping those large and heavy items back to Apple \u2014 which honestly, sounds less than ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Where can I get my iPhone battery replaced locally?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you’ve set aside the thoughts of trying to replace the battery yourself \u2014 the next step is finding a local repair shop you can trust. You may think the best starting point is using Google to \u201cfind a\u00a0smartphone\u00a0<\/strong>repair shop near me\u201d But Swappa has a more straightforward approach: the Swappa Repair Network, which offers a quick and easy way to find a trusted repair shop in your local area.\u00a0
