Good question, i wanna know too! since the battery is non removable... at least without taking the phone apart....
have to send back to apple for them to replace? or non replaceable have to get a new iphone?

the phone can be open up with iphone tools and the battery can be replaced.. just send it to the technician and they know wat to do...

i saw some local apple store selling iphone/itouch battery..
so it is replaceable, but have to ask them to replace it for you perhaps?
unless you know how to replace it on your own..

to make life easier contact this guy http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showuser=6325
else technician at apple store can do the replacement for u

how much is d battery replacement? estimated price?

Assuming if you obtained your unit from Maxis, all you do is return the unit to Maxis and they will do a one for one exchange.

If I am not mistaken, replacement cost of battery is around RM80

I suggest you better protect your screen probably, it will cost around RM800 to replace it.

knowing that HWZ got ppl provide this service

i tot the screen cost almost rm800?

alright! tat settles it... as long as there is a solution then I'm not too worried... like pelvin said, got money anything also can be done... hehe
the screen is the most important part of the phone i don't think it'll be tat cheap (200 bucks) to repair?

But there would be a duration/term attaching to that, wouldn't there? Otherwise, Maxis or any other business entity will 'die' if customers after having used the phone say for 5 years, the battery goes 'kaput' and ask for replacement.

Yeah.. my mistake.. sorry

@PeeEl,
Yeah I'm quite sure there'll be a time frame stipulated but if it's going to be within 1 year then it really makes no sense! I expect the battery to last nothing short of 3-5 years!

I suppose those who are going to subscribe to this Maxis iPhone deal had better check then.

warranty should be 1 year le

@rx330,
I don't know.. I said it *should* esp since the battery is 'not changeable'!

@pelvin,
Yes the normal warranty period is 1 Year so I guess it is 1 year. I know for a fact though that Maxis will do a one for one exchange should anything happen to your iPhone (applicable only to those iPhones distributed by Maxis)

Charge Cycles
A properly maintained iPhone battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 400 full charge and discharge cycles. You may choose to replace your battery when it no longer holds sufficient charge to meet your needs

http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html

*Apple does not warrant the battery beyond Apple's one-year Limited Warranty. The battery has a limited number of charge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced by an Apple Service Provider. Battery life and charge cycles vary by use and settings. See www.apple.com/batteries for more information.
