Can an iphone's battery be replaced?

My iphone is having a lot of battery issues lately (it's just 10 month old). It's draining super fast in less than 12h even when i am not using it. Other times i'll still have about 14% of battery left and it just shuts itself down as if it had 0%. Then i try turning it on again, and it tells me to charge my iphone but if i try it more than once it turn itself on and a 14% battery percentage is still shown. But then i try actually using the phone and it shuts itself down again. I am not from the US and i don't have apple care but i do have an iphone insurance with my carriage and i could take it to their tech service but i was wondering if an iphone's battery is replaceable or am i just going to have to get a new one?

TThis definitely sounds like a problem that requires a trip to an Apple technician. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have a technician examine your device. Or contact Apple Support.

  • I bought my iphone 5s in USA  and now i have come back to my country, India. My iPhone 5s battery needs replacement what should I do?

    Hello!
    My iPhone 5s battery needs replacement and I am not sure where to buy it from. I bought the phone when I was in USA but mow I am in my home country India and I am confused how to find an Apple Store in India so that I can get my phone repaired or battery replaced by them.
    Waiting for suggestions.

    The Warranty on phones is not international.  You will need to send the phone to someone in the US to start the replacement process (or repair), and when they receive the replacement (repaired device), they will need to send it back to you.

  • Can an iphone 4s motherboard be replaced if it is broken?

    can an iphone 4s motherboard be replaced if it is broken?

    Yes it can be replaced. Apple won't replace it as the other reply to your post has said. But if you're willing you can try it yourself.
    There are however a few obvious problems with this: (a) you need to have the replacement part handy and where are you going to get that from? (b) if you botch the repair and decide to take it to Apple to 'fix' it they will charge you more than the cost of a new one to repair it.

  • Can an iphone 3g battery leak of explode on overcharge?

    It just happened to 2 of then handsets in my home. One sony ericsson w350i and other nokia 1100. They were left to overcharge a couple of times and then the battery just stopped working. Upon observation the whole battery had swollen up, without any external leaks. I was wondering if something like this can happen with the iPhone 3g or is the firmware smart enough to make it stop charging on full charge?
    I also bought an app called sleep cycle which requires iPhone to be running overnight without screen lock and is recommends users to keep it plugged in to the charger so that it can stay up to sound the intended wake up alarm. Is this bad for the battery?

    I hope thats the same case with the MacBooks as well. Recently I had to get the battery replaced. I would keep it plugged in all the time and never re calibrated in 4 months! Now, I just drain it onces a week or 10 days and intend to calibrate it once a month.

  • IPhone 4 battery life - replacement

    I had a iPhone 4 last October and have just got it replaced by vodafoneUK as the battery lasted for less than 3 hours on a full charge, I have had my replacement for just 3 days now and this battery is just as bad, lasts around 4 hours on a full charge, I have updated to 4.3.2 and this does not seem to help, what do you suggest? Thanks

    I usually call people for around 45minutes a day (when I have signal) and then listen to some music for an hour, my old iPhone was running 4.3.1 and now this one is running 4.3.2 and the battery isn't any better, could they just be faulty iPhones? I've had every iPhone since the original and none had a battery that lasted for 4 hours :)
    So there are times when you have no signal/reception at all?
    If this has been the same with every iPhone since the original, there was nothing wrong with your previous iPhones and there is nothing wrong with your existing iPhone. The fault lies with you having very little reception or no reception at all the entire time. When reception is very low or there is none, the iPhone is working overtime to maintain the connection or to establish a connection. When you don't have cellular reception, do you enable Airplane mode? If not, start.

  • What can I do: Macbook Battery need replace at 103 cycle

    I have my Macbook late-2006 and suddenly the battery do not charge at cycle 103.
    I tried to talk to guys at Apple Store but the only thing they can do is to sell me a new battery.
    In fact, the battery was in recall before 2009 but I was not be able to send it back at that time.
    If the battery die only at cycle 103, is this normal? feel so upset...

    If you have a MacBook with the removable battery you can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay.

  • How long before you can't charge the battery

    How many times can you charge the battery before replacing and where do you get it replaced?

    From http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html :
    A properly maintained iPad battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 1000 full charge and discharge cycles. You may choose to replace your battery when it no longer holds sufficient charge to meet your needs.

  • Can i replace my iphone 5 battery if needed?

    I was just wondering how i would go about it.

    The battery in the iPhone is not replaceable by the user. If your battery fails, you would take or send your iPhone to Apple or an authorized iPhone service center for replacement.
    Regards.

  • My iPhone 5 Battery Drains Too Quickly! Apps closed, bluetooth off, brightness, low, no notifications...What else can I do?

    My iPhone 5 battery life is terrible! The software is updated--ios 7.0.6. I have to charge my phone 2-3 times a day on some days. I have to close all apps, turn off location services, turn off bluetooth, turn off 90% of my notifications, lower the screeen brightness to less than 10-15%, and turn off all push notifications--all to get my battery to last until 6:00pm.
    I may talk on the phone 10-20 minutes a day, but check emails on my phone a few times in 10 hours. I am indoors most of the day so cold temperatures aren't at play (although if I do use my phone in the cold (less than 25 degrees), the battery drains within minutes!) If I leave  my Camera, Facebook, Maps, or the Weather Channel open in the background, my battery will go from 100% to 20% in less than 2 hours.
    I have been to the Genius Bar more than once. They replaced the battery about a year ago becasue it was bad. I returned a few weeks ago to have them checked my battery again and it tested fine. The Genius I spoke with wiped my phone and removed all data on it and reset it. Unfortunately, the problem has not been solved.
    Has anyone had similar problems? How did you resolve them?

    I set the phone up this morning as a new phone no back up.
    Brightness set to full
    No wifi
    No bluetooth
    No back ground programs running
    Fetch every 15 minutes for emails for half the day and then went to manually for second half
    3G for half day and 2g for second half
    tethering off
    thats all I can think of. My friend and I looked at all his setting and mine and they were both similar except he keeps his on wifi all day.
    we put them to exact same spec when i got to his house at 3. I had close to 50% from a full overnight charge and when I left at 7:30 I left dead and His was at 17% left still from the previous day and when I left his was at 8%
    I dont know

  • How can I remove the battery from my Iphone and Ipads?

    How can I remove the battery from my iphone and ipad?

    The iPhone and iPad do not have user serviceable batteries. Battery replacement is handled by Apple. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar if battery replacement is required.

  • How long does it take to get your iPhone 5 battery replaced?

    For anyone who had their iPhone 5 battery replaced in the replacement program, I was wondering if you could tell me how long this took and what the procedure is. Can you do this at a Genius Bar? I'm probably going to have no more than a few hours to do this between trips and wondering if it takes five minutes or a couple of days.
    Thanks very much.

    The current iPhone 5 battery replacement program has caused some Apple Stores (including all of them in Houston) to run out of spare batteries. They order more, but can take a few days to get fresh stock.
    I went into a store on Tuesday. The Genius ran a diagnostic to be sure my battery was in bad enough shape o qualify. It did, but they were out of batteries, so they put me in line to get one. Today's shipment included a battery with my name on it, so I took the phone back in today. The replacement was complete about 45 minutes later.

  • IPhone 5 battery replaced by Apple, now constantly rebooting

    Hello,
    Yesterday, my wife and I both had our batteries replaced by Apple as part of the battery replacement program.  Mine is working fine, but my wife's is not.  When we got home, the battery was at 22% (understandable since it had just been replaced with a new one).  I plugged it to charge.  After about 4 hours, I checked it, and it was still at 22%!  I did a hard reset and the phone came back up at 100%, so I figured it was a glitch.  Well, this morning it was still at 100% after not being plugged in since yesterday, so I did another hard reset.  Now, the iPhone will reboot itself every 3-4 minutes.
    I have tried restoring the phone as a new device.  (I can't restore a backup since it will reboot before completing).
    Strange thing,...it doesn't seem to reboot unless I am using the iPhone, or it is plugged in trying to sync.  If I let it just sit on the table with the screen off, it won't reboot.
    I have an appointment at an Apple store tomorrow, but I am afraid since it is out of warranty, they won't help me....even though it was working fine before they replaced the battery (other than the fact the battery died after about 8 hours).
    Any thoughts out there?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Check out my solution. This worked for me after having the battery replaced for my iPhone 5 at the Genius Bar. Not sure if it'll fix the 100% issue though. Tried resetting network settings like above. I'll have to see and wait. Just had my battery replaced yesterday.

  • Can I buy a battery for iphone 4s on your website?

    Can I buy a battery for iphone 4s on your website?

    No. See
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs

    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit
