thanks for ur sharing, bro, i will proceed to replace my battery this week

As long as you are happy with your purchase why not?

I've been eyeing that LiDAR scanner on the phone. Seems like a really cool feature.

I'll hold on for ip14 in the future. Don't know what else they can offer by then.

You're welcome!

IMO they can do better with LiDAR, but no.
I am bit disappointed. The portrait mode should be a lot better but I just see minor improvement.

Anyway, for battery.
I attached screenshot here.
23%-76% in about 41 mins.

few hours .... call first before go ..

If you want to change, go for 11 Pro or 12.

Owned 7 plus and the phone got heating issue after 3-4 years, i just don't know why. Bought 12 pro max recently and the size is almost the size.

oh? i tot pro will be enough already?

has TS decided yet?

i'm also having the same problem with my iphone 7. Batt is draining faster than usual and I checked the batt health and it's at 70%. Then sometimes while using the phone, then it starts to get really hot.
Also, the physical Home button already went kaput when I dropped it a few months back. Then there's the storage space...getting tired and fed up of house keeping my phone every few days..

I'm still debating with myself whether to get the new iphone 12 or just change the iphone 7's batt.

Decided to continue using it, as change to a new phone after 3 years is kind of waste of money to me, battery draining fast is the only issue i have so far. Which model will u choose if u were to get a new one

4 hours if not other hardware issue with ur phone
I just change my 7+ battery yday the rm188 promo is still ongoing

still debating
but if i had to choose then probably just change the battery

well u can just change the iphone 7 batt since it's only RM188 from IT World plus can get back the phone on the same day... even if you don't feel like using the phone anymore, you can consider passing the phone to other family members since it will continue to receive the support till IOS 15 (confirm)/16(not sure)

I just upgraded my iPhone 7 plus to iPhone 12 Pro max and i love it!

I was sent my 7plus to Switch service center for battery replacement after I bought my 12promax. It tooks 2 working days of waiting due to out of stock.

After I get my 7plus new battery replaced, the phone doesn't seems improvement on its battery life. I was thought that it was caused by the iOS 14.2. I reformat the phone then flash a fully clean iOS 14.2 again into my 7plus but the battery still drain out fast. I was thought that this issue may solve by upgrading to iOS 14.3. After I upgrade to iOS 14.3 at few days ago, the phone still doesn't seems have any improvement. After I upgrade to iOS 14.3, the battery level already dropped to 70%+, then I leave it for idling for 4 hours. After 4 hours, it was dropped to 40%+ left. So I recharge to phone back to 100%.

I was tried to reboot the phone and hope battery problem may fix. The battery drain quite fast and does not help much after replaced to new battery. This issue is mainly caused by iOS 14 but not the battery itself. My 7plus now is using a new battery with 100% battery health, the battery is still new since I was just newly replaced it at last week only.

When I watch Youtube video with the 7plus. Half hour will consume about 7~8%. If I leave it idle for 4 hours, the battery level will drop by 4~5%.

That is surprisingly bad. Have you tried to contact Switch to have them evaluate the battery to see if they gave you a faulty one by any chance?

moniqee, yours OK after change battery?

curious to know if other ppl getting the same problem or not after battery replacement.

I changed the battery on my 8 Plus 3 months ago. The phone is working fine like new.

The member I tagged earlier mentioned hers is fine after changing the battery, in fact it’s smoother too. iPhone 7 Plus.

sorry didn't see the tagged over here...

yeah my sis who took over the 7+ said the phone can last a day compared to the previous one which didn't last for a day (forgot what was the battery % before replacement)

but yeah i did mine at IT World... quite professional and strigent as attw can attest

surprise Switch can take so long (2 weeks) when IT World was same day replacement (it took them only like 4 hours) which afterwards a few days later apple send me an survey email on the service feedback as well
