Why not go to authorised service provider if the third party service centre charges more?
Previously I had a third party service charge quoting me RM 650 for battery change during CMCO which is a lot higher than what the authorised service provider charge

coz the official reseller is quoting me more as they claim my phone has liquid detection and refuse to change only battery, asking for full replacement which ~3k

Is it worth it to buy a new replacement iPhone X 64GB (not refurbished) from Apple at the price of rm1688 now?

Maybe try other official service centre else try Apple Support live chat so they can redirect you to other service centre

Once u refused when they quote u, u still got charged for labor fee that’s around 50 each
So no point la

I see, for me at diagnostics test stage they tell me whether the iPhone is affected by liquid detection or not. Maybe you can try to contact IT World via WhatsApp or their contact no and enquire

Otherwise guess going for reputable third party service provider is your only option

Got one of my iPhone X, I sent to it world Sunway geo to change the display because not that responsive. They said failed diagnostic got mobo issue, don’t let me claim the free change display programme 😠 but that iPhone is working fine, no issue. Should I try to bring to other service centre?

maybe can try bring to machine KLCC

Any tips on which authorized service provider I should go to and how to get quick same day battery replacement? Many thanks.

iPhone 6s is same as iPhone 5s that has 6 iOS version supported.

i believe this will happen the same for iPhone X.

Do ask around if any service centre has battery stock available.if stock available within 3hr can complete
I did mine in ITWorld Sunway Geo, they allowed me to take back the phone after diagnostic, and come back in 2 days as they didn’t have the stock but I need to pay 1st so they can order the battery

Thanks for the info!

how much price is the used IPHONE X 64gb right now? how much considered reasonable

How much on average does it cost these days for a battery change in official service center?

Mine is around 78% which it is prompting me to replace. Been quoted like RM600+ at unofficial shops which seems crazy high.

RM350 in Switch

What the 2nd hnd price range for ipx 256gb ?

Planning to get 2nd phone

Crazily high is one thing, sellers will tell you its oem or aa or aaa which is all bullshit. All fake batteries that would not last. Must go back to Apple SC for original batteries.

Well, the problem i had with authorized is that they would give me alot of reason to not service them, even though i am paying.

The last time i tried to service mine (changing battery as well), they mention that my screen has a scratch and there is a potential problem where they would break the screen (why they would open the screen i dont know) if they were to change my battery. And if that happens, i would also have to pay for the screen repair and they would not be responsible for it - and ask whether i would take the risk.

But it seems like the battery from non-authorized are now super inflated in terms of price.

Maybe i should find another authorized center, if it is around the RM300+ range.

Try a few service centres. Machines, MacCity, Switch. Im sure one of them would do it for you without hassle.

Got my battery replace on Switch for RM 350 within 1 days and got everything settle.
