May i ask once battery changed, will all your date gone?

Yeah, they did a full format of my phone, which I actually see no point, my screen protector & home button was gone too.

What do you mean by “my screen protector & home button was gone too”?
Are you sure they did not change another iPhone for you?

Very sure it is my phone. Perhaps u havent changed ur batt before? They have a disclaimer in the service centre that they will remove all accessories like screen protector.

Which service centre did you change your iPhone battery?
You are right that I have never change my iPhone battery before.
I read that some service centres did not reset the iPhone when sent in for battery change.

Machines northpoint. I mentioned in my previous post.

Wanted to ask, i sent my 2 yrs old phone for battery replacement during a PH day at Machines The Curve, due to failure replacement, they sent to Apple Center in Singapore for further diagnostic. Then i got a new replacement unit. Is this ok or not?

Even better. Any idea why there is a failure to replace at The Curve?

Not sure, the technician said could be the board problem. If took 6 days (included weekend) to get my phone back. But then all the while the phone is working fine till the day of replacement took place. And it warranty only 3 months.

Yeah, refurbished phones usually only come with 3 months warranty. Which model was this?

Mine is SE. The model start with "N" , confusing i check on google, some said is replacement some said is refurbished. Any difference?

Yeah, same difference

I sent my 6Plus to do battery replacement. They said that my battery is fine even though I have around 1400 charge cycle. And if the batter doesn't last whole day, it is likely to be bloated. So, they went ahead and take a look and then came back to confirm that it is bloated. Bloated battery they cannot replace the battery and so, they want to send to Apple for a 1-1 phone replacement for RM$239 (forgot exact amount). They passed the phone back for me to think if I want to do a 1-1 exchange. My phone was fine.. and I worry if I exchanged to a refurb one there will be NEW problems in the future. Sometimes, I feel these guys are just lazy! They rather not spend 3 hours to fix and suggest a replacement !

Personally I trust Apple's refurbish units. Apple have very strict policy even with repairs. That is why their phones are expensive. It is much easier for them to change to a refurbished units and then take their time to refurbish yours and use it for next client. This will make sure they take their time to fix the phones properly. Fixing a phone is not as simple as you think. They have tons of phones to repair everyday. It doesn't help when clients are in a hurry to take back their phone.

For the risk of having my phone reset and losing my screen protector and so on, I would rather change the battery myself. It is cheaper anyway. Best for those who can DIY themselves.

Can anyone share how much for the battery replacement? Can we done at Apple Store Singapore for Malaysia Unit?

I got some feeling my battery swollen already. How if really swollen?

yes. answer is in the first page for pricing.

Think the battery replacement programme is open regardless where the unit come from... by the way, when u are going to sg?

Yes it can be done. I replaced my sg unit in machines malaysia.

As for the battery is swollen, the only way forward is to replace your phone. They couldn’t replace the battery due to existing protocols.

I'm currently using Iphone 6, so i use my phone around 3-4 years already. I dont know how to check my battery still in good condition or not. Any idea how to check?
