My Problem

Old battery was losing its charge in a very short time.

After reviewing the fix procedure, I believed that other businesses were way overcharging for the replacement of an iphone battery considering the relative simplicity of the repair.

I realize that many folks are intimidated by technology, it does seem like magic sometimes, so one needs a magician to repair it ; right?

Well, I don't want to play the magician's game !

My Fix

The repair went very well, thank you.

the tool kit was exactly what was needed, instructions were clear and packaging was outstanding.

Shipping was timely, and I understand about restrictions for shipping lithium ion batteries.

The extra screws were a nice touch; changing to Phillips heads was unnecessary for me but I appreciated having them since the originals are so tiny and could be easily lost.

I just followed the instructions and was successful.

My Advice

This may not be cost effective and I'm not advocating a change if it isn't, but how about returning the tools for the next user? I expect most folks won't replace their battery more than once before upgrading to a new phone (my original lasted 4 years!)

So the tool kit just gets stored at the users end and may not be appropriate for the next device.
