How long does it take to replace iPhone battery?

With each new device, Apple engineers are improving the power system of the phone, ensuring optimal battery consumption. But at the same time new communication format – LTE (Long-Term Evolution), a new camera and a new ultra-clear LCD consume a large amount of energy.

IPhone battery lasts on an average from 6 months to 2 years. IPhone battery life depends on how you take care of it. The battery has a good memory, but it still needs to be periodically reminded of its capacity. In other words, at least once a month, you should completely discharge your phone and fully charge it without interrupting the whole cycle. The average battery life is 500 cycles. If you charge your phone several times a day with short recharges, then only in one day the battery produces up to 3 cycles, which has not the best effect on battery life.

You need to replace the battery if:

  • the device turns off during a call when there is enough charge;
  • the battery discharges quickly;
  • iPhone works only when you connect the charging cable.
