I went to change my iphone x battery at midvalley this morning and they mention that as I am still under warranty, they will send to Apple to change for the battery ( 7 workings day). My battery health is at 93% and the staff still told that it is FOC.

7 days! more like they are swapping your iPhone parts out laugh.gif

all this battery swollen thing, i’m a bit sceptical. there’s so many cases, wondering if it is the real case or some of the premium resellers out to make a quick bucks.

it is part of battery degradation. FOC only if your battery drop to 80% or lower within the warranty period.

just walk in early to any Apple Service Provider. It shouldn’t take more than 4 hours from the time you drop off your phone. all your warranty remains the same.

For phones that are out of warranty, if you send in to them to diagnose and then don't want them to fix the problem after they have identified it, you'll have to pay a nominal diagnostic fee, RM50 or RM80 if I remember correctly. But I have no idea if that applies to this battery replacement program.
*
i have never pay for iPhone diagnosis before, either Apple Store or Resellers in Sg. I think all the Resellers in My are making a quick bucks. You guys should ask Apple, is the charge normal.

asking here regarding battery changing at mac city, they quote me rm121 all in for battery replacemen for ip6+ that i ok. but what is weird is they need me to backup all my data because they will format my phone. is this the procedure to replace iphone battery?
*
no need format and backup. just tell them you dont mind losing all the data. i’m sure they are ok with it.

Just went to Switch JB to replace my iphone x battery.

But didnt succeed because they said the promotion doesnt include device still in warranty period.

And the guy said that need to fork Rm 500++ for haptic engine replacement if changing battery for iphone x.
*
kena conned already. take down name, call Apple and report. ask them give u a case id, then go down again to fucuk them. else, come Apple Store Sg

*
call up Apple. Tell them they have incompetent reseller(s). I do not trust those resellers technician the very bit.

Don't think battery replacement has anything to do with quality though. It's just replacing the battery, workmanship should be pretty standard.

i beg to differ. reselller Technicians skill varies, as compare to Apple own Technicians

I asked machine for appointment and they redirect me to apple site, which I made an appointment there at klcc.

I also asked through the site their customer service told me even at 94% my iPhone 8 Plus is eligible for the replacement, and if warranty is still available then it would be totally free of charge, can anyone confirm?
*
yes, foc during the warranty period if your battery deemed to have failed (<80%).

yup that what they told me when i asked but my unit is replacement unit so they warrant the whole phone for 3 months..it stated in the receipt:  3 month warranty
as i read in tech paper somewhere in the internet..they only consider defective battery if drop below 70% but..1 month 3% and if a linear chart plotted 70% will come less then a year and of course no more warranty at that time...ironically my replaced phone still hold 73% after 3 years of heavy usage but maybe..or hopefully the drop will slow in time
*
80% and below actually

Definitely worth it if you don't plan to change your phone in the next two years.

used iPhone buyer nowadays also taking battery health as one of the main criteria in buying. i personally would not buy a used iPhone with battery health <90%.

Can i know any rules in the replacement program that stopping us to do another change as the battery i changed at mac city early this year are not holding charge anymore.
*
can only replace once for this program. what is your battery health? you can use your 3 months warranty to claim a replacement.
