    Resolved Higher Battery Repair Cost

    Just left the only ACSP (Apple Certified Service Provider) we have outside of big electronic stores and was surprised that they had a MUCH higher price for the battery replacement than Apple quoted on their website. Apple quotes 106€ (I’m in Germany) but the store is charging 169€. Why? How...

    Howdy folks, I though i'd post this just to let users know before you request Apple to replace the Battery in your Apple device, however I booked a appointment online to get the battery replaced in my nearest Apple Store here in the UK. I took my iPhone SE to the Apple Store to get the...

    iPhone 14 Pro Max Battery Replacement Experiences (Apple Store)

    My iPhone 14 Pro Max battery health is at 84%; it is noticeable as far as how long it lasts through the day. I use it a lot every day so it’s to be expected I guess. I’m considering purchasing a 16 and really looking forward to the event as I always do but for the sake of fully considering my...

    Do “genuine” iPhone batteries swell like that?

    Long story short. Was on trip with my girlfriend. In late December 2023 she got her iPhone 11 battery replaced in official Apple service in Hague. The original battery had all signs of premature death: overheating, only 73% capacity, as well as it was holding charge for 2.5 hours at max. Three...

    Battery Change: Factory Reset required

    So here in the Philippines, there are the so-called "authorized" stores such as the PowerMac Center. Special Note: They ship the phone to Singapore's Apple Store after doing a local diagnostic test for repairs etc. Me and my wife inquired to have our iPhone (old SE2020) battery replaced. They...

    MBP 2015 battery replaced - machine now only works when plugged in :/

    Hello, I've just installed a new battery on my old macbook pro (early 2015 intel based). I had done this once before with no issues so I felt confident, but this time it did not go as planned. The computer now only works when the charger is plugged in. As soon as it's unplugged, it shuts down...

    Difficult decision: Should I try to "refurbish" my own MacBook Pro?

    Hi everyone, I'm kind of in a special situation. I've got a late 2016 MacBook Pro 15" with the most expensive specs (back then) which is still serving me well. However, I've quit my (gamedev-)job recently to pursue creating games on my own. For this, I am going to live off of my savings for at...

    MacBook Pro 2016 crashes after Apple replaced the battery

    [MacBook Pro 13'' 2013] Power issue?

    Hi! Guys I'm facing a problem with a late 2013 Macbook Pro. It's a little hard to explain but I'll try. For some reason my Mac when in sleep mode turns off and won't turn on again. Sometimes if I plug in the power cord and click on it will start working again. Also, if you put in the power...

    13" MBP mid-2010 Battery Replacement Dilemma

    Hey everyone, so I got a (possibly common) dilemma regarding replacing my battery in my aging MBP. It's a mid-2010 13 inch unibody model, non-retina version. It still has the original battery when I purchased it from the Apple Store in early 2011 for college, and it has undergone numerous...

    Buying genuine MacBook Pro battery

    So my MBP is showing the 'Service Recommended' sign. Where I live, we only have any limited options for Apple products and almost always get ripped off. So I thought of getting a relative to buy the battery from some store or website in USA and get it here with him. Apple doesn't manufacture or...

    My current battery health is at 79%, but I'm slowly seeing that it's starting to drain a bit quickly. Once I charge it, I tend to put the iPhone in Lower Power Mode. I'd like to keep this model as long as I can, would it be wise to have Apple replace the battery? Looking at their website the...

    iPhone 7/Plus Apple replaced my 7+ instead of changing the battery

    Last week I went to the Apple Store to have the battery of my iPhone 7+ replaced. After three years it was still working perfectly fine, but the battery capacity was down to 81% and clearly not lasting very long anymore. I was considering upgrading to an 11 but dreaded the procedure of getting...
