iPhone Repair
Hey folks,
My iPhone XR battery maximum capacity is reduced to 78%.
Thinking of getting the battery changed to push it for another 1-2 years.
Has anyone done a battery change before? Is it worth it?
Thanks,

Would recommend getting an iPhone 14 pro or the upcoming 15 series from the USA ( via a friend travelling to India). The Cameras and displays are a significant upgrade compared to the XR.

I got battery changed for older iPhone, was like 1200inr, was 100% with it. It works better now.
Just change the battery.

Did u just go to apple store to get this done or first called customer support? Also is this price for out of warrantee ?

Was way out of warranty. I went to shop that was well rated. It said Foxconn on the container the battery came from. Though I have no idea how genuine the battery was. But works fine.
78% isn't too bad, should last you an year or two. Else follow what @SilentBiopsy says, battery replacement can be done on third party or even official "imagine stores"
This is my 3rd iPhone.. the previous 2 I changed battery after 3 years and they usually work smooth for another 1.5-2 years
I am in a similar dilemma and have an 11 pro. I’ll be trying to go another year without battery change and then upgrading to a newer version.
Considering you’re on the XR, it makes sense to upgrade to a 14/14 Pro instead of trying to prolong its life further.
