QUOTE(ilovestitch @ Nov 28 2020, 10:54 PM) I am using 7 plus, and the battery is draining much faster than before, should i just change the battery itself, or change to new iphone? Any suggestions? If the phone is still in good shape and works great based on your usage, then yes, just go ahead and change the battery. The phone will still have another year of major OS update, after that you can decide if you want an upgrade. |

QUOTE(junclj @ Dec 18 2020, 04:47 PM) 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. 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?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%. moniqee, yours OK after change battery?

Was told Machines will also take 3 working days, probably IT World will be the fastest for now 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  |
