Apple will replace the battery in an iPhone for $79. Lots of third parties will do it for less. You can buy the battery and required tools and do it yourself if you're handy with a screwdriver. It's not quite as easy as snapping the new one into place, but it's far from being non-replaceable.
- collyw 9y agoLast time I replaced a battery on a phone I am sure it cost less than 10 euros and was a case of popping the back off of the phone. $79 sounds hideously expensive in comparison, but then you have to pay for some semi skilled labor rather than do it yourself these days.
- mikeash 9y agoI definitely wouldn't call it cheap, but it's totally doable. $79 is a lot, but way cheaper than a new iPhone.
