For those who replaced battery and the shop insist to reformat the phone, do you know why they want to do so?

so that users wont cry mother cry father when the data is lost.

I got mine at MWC (not authorised) for only RM70 nett original apple battery. Work done in 5 mins

hate to burst your bubbles but there are no new original apple battery, not even OEM, other than from Apple or APR. Rest are what we called clones or fakes.
Getting iPhone touched by 3rd party would void any future Apple recall program smile.gif

But the staff blunder is really annoying. Based on the previous forumer who did the same replacement, he got his in just 2-3 days! Mine is at 2 weeks and they only just started initiating the service! If I didn’t make noise they would have just left my order rotting in the corner...
*
you should have just flag it out when you realised the mistakes, instead of hoping the APR will continue with their blunder. oh well. Apple very rarely screwed up on their inventory.

I don’t think they will give you the box. In my case they just gave me the phone, when I ask for the box they say the box will be returned to Apple hence they couldn’t give it to me.
*
you didn’t get doesnt mean apple don’t have. box with new serial number label pasted at the side.

This is why I still hasn’t gone back and change
Still love my rhinoshield sp, drop straight to sharp surface also nothing happened (I supposed the hammer video is legit)
And paid 100+ for it
*
in that case I suggest you hangon to your existing battery if a sp means so much to you. period.

Apple simply would not take any responsibility on the sp. Remove or not actually is up to the user. You might get back the unit without sp or a damaged sp. A really simple reason to understand on Apple stand point.

Hi everyone,

My battery health maximum capacity is 88% and I have been experiencing issues with my phone battery whereby the phone will auto shut down eventough the battery is 50%. When try to on the phone says battery Low and when you plug in the charger it goes back to 50% over.

I have updated to the latest iOS and issue still persists.

According to Apple, they will only replace the battery of the battery capacity is below 80% and since my iPhone warranty is expiring in Dec, I have log a case with Apple support and their advisor has approved for  FOC battery replacement as the phone warranty is still valid and has created an exception casefor the battery to be replaced eventough the battery capacity is 88% and looking at the nature of the issue, advisor supported my case and gave a go ahead approval and case number.

The reason why I contacted Apple
Support and raise and exception ticket coz knowing our Apple authorised support centre in MY, they will taichi and not change your battery and yet bill you under battery replacement programme eventough the phone is under warranty and with the exception approval given by Apple, they will have no choice but to force replace it on Apple’s Cost.

Do you guys know which Apple centre in KL has stock for iPhone X battery and can replace the battery in less than 4 hours based on experience?
*
I'm afraid your issue could end up being more than a defective battery. Have it properly diagnose early by Apple instead of just insisting of getting the battery replace. You do not want to end up with a dead motherboard after your warranty over.
I got my iPhone X replaced after it failed to retain charge.

It seems like the they are not charging us SST for the battery change program. I have also been quoted RM 121 for the change (to be done in 1 or 2 days time)

BTW, i think it is better that i wipe clean my phone before sending in for them to change the battery (i don want any privacy leak), or do i dont have to worry ? Please advise
*
one of the few conditions to send in your phone is to unlocked it and disable the ‘find my iphone’ feature.

If you've not repaired it outside before and if your screen isn't crack, I think they should accept it.

they take dent seriously. a dent could meant void of warranty. most probably they will not do it or just add a disclaimer of not holding them responsible if anything wrong with the phone after battery replacement.

hmm... anyone have any experience with changing the battery in Penang (island/mainland).

I asked the Sunway Carnival one... they said 2 days.... i was wtf.. you gonna lend me an iPhone for 2 days issit?

Anyone got theirs changed in 2-3 hours?.... I suspect the QB one will be around 2-3 days also... last time sent my phone in to check why cannot power on also took them 3 days to come back to me.

i would say your are really at the mercy of those Apple Service Providers since no official ‘brick&mortar’ Apple Store.
what better options would you have anyway? go to KL smile.gif ?

yeah if your battery health is 80% or lower.
