hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and many of you are concerned about your
battery health and what I mean by that is how much of your battery health is
remaining you start with 100% and then over time is your battery degrades I've
talked about this at length in other videos I'll link them in the description
as well as right above here and what battery health means is how much of the
remaining charge is left compared to when it was new so let me explain that
briefly if you're not familiar with battery health that means basically if
you had a this is how I explained it before if you have a 10 gallon fuel tank
in your vehicle and after 2 years of use you now have 8 gallons left that would
be 80% so what that means is the same with battery health you start with 100%
like we have here and then if we move over to something like the 6s plus
that's a few years old we have 86 percent remaining so this only holds 86
percent of its original charge of 100% whatever the milliamp hours were of the
original battery now for the most part that's going to be okay that's normal
degradation over that time however your phone may not be performing at peak
performance capability and if it's not then you need to get your battery
replaced because what will happen is it will slow down the processor to avoid
this needing more voltage or power from the battery and rebooting so what
happens if it can't supply enough power for you is your phone will just reboot
and not perform right it'll come back up and slow it down so that stops happening
and your phone may start to feel really sluggish now you can turn that off at
the risk of it actually rebooting or you can just get your battery replaced and
from today you now have 31 days to get that battery replaced at a reduced rate
now if you have Apple Care Plus you don't have to worry about this because
it's usually included with that for free if you have a problem with your battery
so this is only for people that need their battery replace that are out of
warranty and it's $29 until December 31st for the iPhone se all the way to
the iPhone X that covers all of those phones the iPhone 5s I'm not sure that
they replace in the store it's not mentioned on their site of replacing the
battery I'll link that in the description below so you can check it
out as well so what happens after December 31st is the price goes up now
it's not astronomical it goes up to $49 for the iPhone se through the 8 Plus however
the iPhone X will be $69 the XS, XS Max and XR will be $79 to
replace the battery after December 31st 2018 so if you need to replace those
batteries you probably want to do it now if it's not performing now if you have
90 percent chances are they're not going to replace it for you just because it's
performing well however if you have appliquè plus they'll probably just do
it or tell you to come back but on the older phones chances are they're
degraded at least down to about 90 or 80% I normally would recommend around 70
to 80 percent or if your phone is telling you need you need to I know if
people with their batteries at 50 to 60 percent that's still performing like it
should with peak performance capability so it's not really an issue for those
people but for some other people it may be a big concern now when it comes to
managing your battery I've created other videos about that and it's less
complicated than you think I've talked about that at length you can
check those videos out as well and hopefully this helps you get this done
if you need to get it done you've got 31 days or so remaining by the time you're
watching this video so hopefully that helps you out
go get that replaced and it will take three to five days or you can send it in
so apple says three to five days normally it's about a couple hours in
the store it just depends on the store and how busy they are all they have to
do is pop out these two screws open the top up
replace the battery it's actually pretty simple to do and replace it in the store
put it back together and then hand it off to you you don't generally lose any
data but they usually ask you to make a backup ahead of time you could also send
this in so if you don't have an Apple store nearby you can send it into your
local Apple store and they'll take care of it for you so that's usually the best
way to do it if you don't have anyone nearby but the problem with that is
you're going to need your phone so you'll have to have a backup if they're
an older iPhone and Android phone or whatever you might have you'll have to
use and they don't provide a loaner so you've got that little issue there so
hopefully that helps let me know if you're getting your battery replaced in
