If you’re like many people, you rely on your iPhone^® every day of your life. However, you might eventually find yourself needing a battery replacement. Here are a few reasons it might be time to replace your iPhone device’s battery.

Why You May Need iPhone Battery Replacement

1. Limited Life Span

Like all rechargeable batteries, iPhone batteries have a limited life expectancy and eventually need to be replaced. As your battery gets closer to reaching the end of its life span, you may begin to notice that your iPhone is not performing as efficiently as it once did. If your iPhone is shutting down unexpectedly, needing to be charged more frequently, or taking longer to launch apps, it might be time to take it to a repair expert for a battery replacement.

2. Swollen Battery

Lithium-ion batteries are extremely efficient, providing an amazing amount of power while taking up little space. The downside of all that highly concentrated energy is that they can sometimes be quite volatile. If your iPhone battery is old, damaged, or overcharged, it may start giving off gases and become swollen. You might notice that the screen and the body have begun to separate or that the display appears hazy because of pressure behind the screen. A swollen battery is at risk for catching on fire, so if you detect these symptoms, you should take your device to a professional who specializes in iPhone battery replacement and screen repair as soon as possible.

3. Manufacturer Defect

Occasionally, issues might be caused by a battery defect. If your battery is not functioning properly, check with a reliable cellphone repair expert to see if a manufacturing defect could be the problem. If there is a recall on the battery or your iPhone is under warranty, you may be able to get a battery replacement from an Apple^®-authorized service location.
