If it’s 3 months, send to Service Centre to check. Could be something wrong with your phone.

Yes I’ve replaced battery under the Apple battery replacement program. It was done in a few hours. Replaced it for RM129 before the 0% GST

No problem. I’m sure you can managed. If not get a old phone to use temporarily.

With the original battery at RM120 why bother going 3rd party? I’ve changed battery before at 3rd party for iPhone 5 and 5S.

However with the iPhone 7 being water resistant, it’s best to get it changed at Apple Authorised Dealer to maintain the water resistant rating after the battery change.

3rd party will just open and change the battery and will not bother to reinstate the water resistant rating.

If you are using iPhone 6 where it’s not water resistant then maybe you can change at 3rd party.

I was told from the Apple Service Provider that Changing battery is about an hour. The testing takes 2 - 3 hours

Drop my phone into pail of water after it fell out of my pocket. No problems.

Which service centre did you send?

Yes. Any iPhone 7 is eligible.

I would recommend you to replace it at an Apple Servirce centre. They will also reinstate the phone water resistant rating.

The problem with 3rd party battery replacement, they may not reinstate the water resistant rating after changing the battery. Besides the cost is already very attractive.

Get it changed. You won’t regret it.

You can replace battery anytime.

There is an Apple Service Provider called IT World at 3 Two Square, Jalan 19/1 Petaling Jaya. Opposite Toyota showroom.
They usually are very attentive and good. Not a large crowd there so do not need to wait long for service. I’ve already replaced 4 iPhone 7, 2 iPhone 6 and 1 iPhone 7 plus there all for my family members.

Yes. They will reinstate the phone accordingly inclusive of the seals.

Around 3-4 hours. They need to carry out testing of the phone to ensure it is ok before releasing it to customer.

Normally you will need to reset your phone before handing the phone to them to change battery. So make sure you back up your phone.

As for the screen protector, they will try to open the phone but many times as they open the phone true screen protector will crack due to the suction applied to the phone screen to open the phone. Anyway based on the phones Zi have sent in, iPhone 6 screen protector did not break. iPhone 7 out of 4 times, screen protector was ok for 1 phone. According to them, iPhone 7 and above needs more force to open as the screen is very tightly glued to the phone body.

After changing battery, they will be gluing back the phone screen to maintain water resistance.

Try sending it in the morning.

So
How did your battery replacement go?

I am on 13.4 on my iPhone 7 and XS. No problems and happily with it.

I have no problem with iOS15 on my iPhone 7. Battery life seem to be the same as before.
