Planning Ahead: Battery Replacement Plans for the iPhone

The iPhone’s non-replaceable battery will cost you quite a bundle, so be sure to follow Apple’s advice on making your iPhone battery last as long as possible. Taking care of your iPhone battery is similar to taking care of your iPod battery. Keep at room temperature, update on the latest software, charge after every full use, etc. (more here). If you don’t and your iPhone battery has stopped working like it should, here’s what to expect. Basic battery repair is $79 plus an additional $6.95 for shipping. The total: $85.95. And that’s not all. When your battery is replaced, it will erase all your data, so you need to back it up by syncing with iTunes. Battery replacement and data loss will take three days.
