I've read that if you've had any work carried out by someone other than Apple they won't touch it.

Get it done! Mine has been great these past few days, even in the cold weather. And the phone is back to it's old speed, much faster than it has been of late :)

Update Package was delivered yesterday, the same item as in that video. I watched a YouTube video of fitting a new battery and dived in. The little sucker in the kit to remove the screen was crap, so I used a bigger one that was here and it worked fine. The glue that holds the battery in place...

Update: Just to let you all know about waiting times Apple sent an email today asking that I go to the store for my battery to be replaced.......one month after I booked it in. One fcuking month !!! Fcuk off Apple !!!

I've just ordered (through a friend) a new battery from Taobao. It costs 89 rmb (about £9.50) and there is a video on YouTube saying that it works fine, at least for 6 months. I'll let you know how I go on....

I just complained to Apple via the chat app. Probably the most pointless complaint ever...but i'm done with Apple !

I know. It's a bit hit or miss. They might be great for a while, though

So, more than 3 weeks have passed and now i'm back in China. Fcuk off Apple !!!!! I'm so pissed off that the richest company in the world couldn't get me a fcuking £20 battery within 2 weeks, and still hasn't contacted me. Utter, utter cretins !!!! I won't be buying anything from Apple again...

Still no message from Apple. I even went to the store and they said "your allocated battery is the only one you can have and it's not in yet". It's been more than 2 weeks and i'm going back over to China on Monday. Pretty much no chance to get it sorted now. Fcuking rubbish !!!! I'll probably...

So it's done ?

iPhone 6 If they tell me it's going to cost X amount to change a main board i'll be handing them some Vaseline and going back to my iPhone 4s !

Booked mine...gotta wait two weeks until they get a battery. Hope I can sort it before I go back to China as it's becoming a right pain.

The most annoying thing on an iPhone is the "Your battery is at 20%/10% you wanker, so get it on charge, ball bag!" message that cuts off voice message you are sending!

I think the batteries are £21 from Apple. I'm on an iPhone 6. New cable ordered for when I get back home. Old cable back in use !

After all the trouble I've been having recently, to top it all off my £5 Apple fake charging cable that I bought from Beijing Silk Market has just packed up...so I couldn't even charge my fcuking ballsed up iPhone !!!
