I replace my iPhone battery with a cheap one off eBay every year or two when something else breaks. Battery life is pretty good, but the screen pops up now making the phone 0.5mm thicker. It's doing OK for a 5 year old phone, but my friends can't believe I paid $800 for an iPhone 5.

- terminalcommand 9y agoIf the screen is popping up, that condition might be trigerred by a swollen battery. My iPhone 5 also did that, after a while, it worsened so much that the screen colors became affected. I took it to an apple store, paid the fee and had them replace the battery. IMHO a swollen battery is a huge risk, and apple should have replaced my phone without charge. Anyways, be careful and if the battery is swollen, it's time for yet another battery change :)
- nbanks 9y agoMy first battery was definitely swollen, and this may be why the screen doesn't snap back into place.
- ghostbrainalpha 9y agoI don't understand. Why did you pay $800 for an iPhone 5?
- azurelogic 9y agoMaybe the poster is talking about total sunk cost of phone and all of the batteries
- nbanks 9y agoThat's what a 64GB iPhone 5 cost at the time.
