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.

david delte post really mou tak teng

tinker, but nowadays, base on other brands of phones, i dun think the battery could last tat long, i remember my bodolora V3, less than 1 year, gone case already

u got so many jargons la mr rx330.... hahahahaha....,
well i dont know about u all, but as for me i usually change my phone once every 2 years.... but if something is going to happened to my batt (God forbid not....) i know who i can turn to...

yaaahhh .. with the trend of the "latest" most of the high end users change to the latest at the average of 1 qnd half yr of use ....

so i guess .. one yr down the road iphone 2nd hand will be less then less RM 1000.00

anyback to the topic : iphone battery

anyone got any infor as where to collect your phone ..( which you booked )

are u invited to the function at KLCC ...??

if this is the case ... when batteru "die" you sent back to maxis ...!!!

pls ask this question ,,, when u collect your phone ..ok

why not call maxis customer care up and check directly.. give u faster answers lolz

For me, iPhone 2G how? Cannot send to maxis right, so have to look for cxcr? Is that the only way?

some of the phone shop accept iphone to be fix... but prepare the money kaw2 lah.... ask around...

I'm thinking on whether are there any 3rd party batteries which have higher capacity hence lasts longer?

and risk voiding the warranty? not advisable.

alternatively you can try this morphie (not sure how to spell it, but stringfellow is using that currently and he recommends it) or Kensington Mini Battery Pack for iPhone/iPod

I'm not sure how the battery is connected but if there's no warranty sticker or anything around it that could distinctively show we tampered the battery then it shouldn't be much of a problem? It's just like using a Nokia phone with imitation battery?
