Went to machine and switch few days ago and I spoke to them about battery replacement. They all told me that I need to make an appointment and leave my phone for a week to replace, do you guys know any alternatives? I just want it done on the same day because I work and I need to use my phone, I don't have extra phones laying around. I tried googling and I saw few options that offers cheaper (Mind you, price isn't my biggest concern because I just want it done on the same day and uses the GENUINE APPLE PARTS) Some of the these stores claimed to be using apple parts but they re-use old adhesive without replacing it so that's another downside for me. Can anyone know recommend me a place?

Sorry serious

On another note, most mobile phone shops are connected to a network of suppliers. It is possible to get the original apple battery from them.

Take note, all apple warranty is void if you take this route, and apple will not repair any iphone which has done any unauthorized repair.

if genuine, better to go official apple centres… normally they change the entire phone with a new refurbished unit ( imei ad well if not mistaken, with my iphone 5 previously).. but the phone looks practically new

If I'm not mistaken they don't replace the adhesive, they re-use the adhesive. I don't want that because re-using old adhesive means your IP rating is jeopardize.

Slightly aware of that but there are chances you may get "Unknown part" if you do go to a non apple store


Hmm I'll try and ask them to make sure.

didnt know this, oh well as a apple fan i pay the price i guess

Regardless, once the phone is opened up, the IP rating already gone for good.

No way to beat factory vs human.

i have had my phone battery changed both through machine and at a regular phone repair shop. for the apple repair, needed to book an appointment using the apple care app, then leave my phone with them. it took 2-3 days.

at the regular phone shop, they changed the battery on the spot, and it was done in about 20 minutes. they claimed the battery was original, but i'm not 100% sure. the battery health percentage function doesn't work (they mentioned that upfront).

The adhesive is the main factor of having IP rating, yes if the installment is poor then obviously the adhesive don't matter much but re-using old adhesive or going no adhesive means no IP rating at all whatsoever.

I had my old iPhone 7 Plus repaired at a non apple store and while they claimed it was "ORIGINAL" all the way and still said battery health percentage won't work, that kind of rubs me the wrong way lol.

TRX apple store Malaysia.
Go early can get battery replaced on same day.

i don't mind it. way cheaper than apple and the new battery is just as good as far as i can tell.

Either way once open the ip rating no longer applicable. U can ask them and u get same answer

my sister's iphone sent to machine's service center at 10-11am and can already take at 3-4pm iinm last time for battery replacement.

TS using what phone? replacement at apple will be around rm400 so if your iphone is old, better just sell and get another brand new with warranty.

problem is for iphone 11 and later if you use non-genuine battery the phone will put "unknown part" or "not genuine part" notification everytime you unlock the phone iinm

mine is 11, no such notification when unlock since i replaced the battery 7 month ago. it will only show under setting > battery.

i might have seen the message after ios update but not 100% sure. just tried restart the phone and didn't see any as well.

Let's just agree to disagree, no point in debating. I want my adhesive replaced if it's opened.

iPhone 13 pro max but I don't mind the price, I just wanna be able to pick it up on the same day, don't matter what time lol but I do have to ask, did your sister had to give her passcode to the technician? Did she delete her bank app before she hand over her phone? Just curious because I'm very paranoid about it.

i got my old XR replaced on the same day via Machines (pass it in early morning, after lunch time collect). so far i feel its mixed bag depending on how many appointments they have on the day itself

otherwise there is one Dr iDevice in One Utama at basement level you can check out. they do on the spot if not busy (<15min). but i dont know if they replace the IP adhesives. previously i only replaced my ip6 battery back in 2015 and they finished it super fast, ip6 dont have IP rating back then

i don't remember exactly but maybe factory reset before handover
