Which gen is your iPhone?
If I were u just go original, for assurance on waterproof seal, etc. ifix Malaysia I think is also apple authorised, u need to check. Slightly cheaper than switch/machine if I'm not mistaken...

Apple want you to buy new phone, not repair it unless their own authorized and upcar charge till you want to buy a new phone sahaja.

I’m sure you can get rm100 and below for see battery status, my experience is usually can’t see = horrible quality battery.

Check out Cellcare/Miifix, iinm all battery I change with them can see status.

sounds like iphone XS/XS Max, or XR? Mine iphone X no problem changing battery, not ori also. I think 11 pro onwards need to transfer battery data or some IC to the new battery or something, not sure about iphone 13 onwards.

Just do it at an Apple authorised service centre. Not worth the headache just to save RM100++.

Don't bother
Most of the time when battery needs to be replace the phone only runs for an additional 6 months before something happens in my experience

this, while its good to save up and cut costs.. but a battery is the lifeline of your smartphone

imagine you switched battery only to realise the battery swapped in not full capacity and ended up you compromise in lifespan

can buy iphone but cannot afford battery, you should just get some entry level android phone and change every year
