iPhone battery replacement on the horizon? Here's everything you need to know.

Has your battery deteriorated? Please find out how to do an iPhone battery replacement in Dubai and how much it costs.

It happens to everyone sooner or later: wandering around the office, begging all your colleagues to lend you a charger. And in the worst-case scenario, hoping that the already low battery will last you all the way home. Unfortunately, this is a familiar reality for iPhone users who require a battery replacement: over time, the battery's health appears to decline. The consequences? Shorter battery life, reduced efficiency, and unexpected shutdowns.

But what can you do when your iPhone battery starts showing signs of decline? Maybe you're thinking about upgrading to a new model. Or if you're on a budget, you could simply take your iPhone to an iPhone Repair Dubai service center for a battery replacement. And the more experienced (or brave) among us could even replace the battery ourselves. Whichever idea takes your fancy, read on for the details... and costs.

 iPhone Battery Replacement: Find Out When It's Necessary

On iOS, it's easy to check your battery health by going to Settings, scrolling down to Battery, then selecting Battery Health & Charge. If it's time for a battery change, iPhone will prompt you in this menu.

Are there other ways to tell if your iPhone needs a battery replacement? Of course there are. For example:

·         The phone gets hot while charging or in use.

• The battery charges very slowly, or not at all.
• Sudden shutdowns, even when the icon shows a full or 50% charge.
• The battery seems to run out very quickly.
• Your iPhone's performance is slow.
• The charge percentage fluctuates.
• Your iPhone battery is swollen.

Signs of a swollen battery include the display separating from the rest of the phone, a cloudy-looking display, or strange movements. Be very careful if the battery is swollen. This can not only damage the phone, but in more extreme cases, it could even catch fire.

If you think your iPhone battery is swollen, take care of it immediately:

1. Discontinue use immediately.
2. Don't charge your phone.
3. Take it to an Apple Store or certified provider. 

iPhone battery replacement at a third-party

You can also have your iPhone battery replaced by an outside technician. Some retail stores and service centers are Apple-certified. This means they're authorized to replace your battery without voiding your warranty or risking problems related to the use of low-quality components. If you can't find a certified technician in your area, go with a reputable store. Before handing your phone over to the first technician you find, do some research and pay attention to the following:

• Does the technician offer authentic branded parts?
• Does the service include guarantees?
• What are the online reviews like?

In most cases, third-party technicians are cheaper than official Apple customer service. Even then, prices may vary depending on the iPhone model. 

Is it better to buy a new iPhone or replace the battery?

There are several aspects to take into consideration to make the choice that best suits your situation.

When to replace the battery

• If you have a fairly recent iPhone that works as expected.
• If you want to make a green choice, it’s more sustainable to extend the life of your current iPhone.
• If you don't feel like transferring your data to a new device.

When to buy a new iPhone

• If your device is starting to get old, it might be better to invest in a new iPhone, especially if the screen or camera is damaged in any way.
• If you want an upgrade that goes beyond the battery, unless you bought your latest iPhone in the last few months, a new device will offer you a better camera, software, processor, and display, as well as advanced connectivity options and, of course, a 12-month warranty and access to AppleCare+. 

If it's time to upgrade to a new device, you can still spend less than expected. Trade in your old iPhone from Apple to receive credit toward your new purchase. Or, send it to an iPhone Repair Dubai that offers cash in exchange for your smartphone to be recycled. 

Alternatively, you could buy a refurbished iPhone instead of a brand new one. And instead of signing up for an expensive contract, you could choose a prepaid SIM for greater flexibility and control over your spending.
