hi, please share your experience when replacing battery at authorized service center, did they purely replace the battery without formatting the phone? though they asked to backup first as they will not be responsible for data loss. but anyone experience phone gets formatted?

also, any chance to complete the process of battery replacement on the day itself?

last time i went to apple service center to replace a new battery. have to reset the phone (format), so you have to backup at your own before hand over your phone to them.

that time i pass my phone at morning and night able to collect.

Authorise center will format the phone. Accompanied someone to change battery, during the RM99 promo last time, can collect back same day, need about 4 hours only.
If you prefer not to format then unfortunately have to change from other non-authorised shop. Only took 10 minutes and you can get a new battery.

Hi guys, sorry for a noobie question. Backing up data means saving the images and any other files only right? Apps can be reinstalled. Would the technician be able to access my phone if I just leave it there with password protection? Would it be like a factory reset where i need to do settings and also update the ios after the battery is replaced? Any recommendation in Melaka? Thank you.

they will request u to factory restore before send over. unless u dont mind your data being seen by others or leak out coz u need to remove the phone/icloud password before u handover to them

thats why u need to backup all your data via pc or icloud

They never format your phone. Same day service just DIY.

Because they would factory reset your phone, with iCloud password then it would get stuck at activation lock

It’s their procedure and also for your privacy

They don’t want to take the risk when u blame them for snooping into your personal data

They may run diagnostics as well
