Out of warranty replacement or trade in?

[Sammydad1]

So apple store guy agreed something seems to be draining my battery. He had no more idea than I did.

Out of warranty replacement is $299 or maybe I should look at a trade-in with att or best buy....

Hmmmmmm

If I were you, I would wait for iOS 10.3.2 Final. Apple checked my Watch and iPhone remotely everything is fine. I´ve got the feeling, sometimes, that my phone battery drains a bit to fast. Stopped using it with 80% if I recall it right. When I woke up, under 70% (iPhone 6) Have you got old apps installed?

I recently replaced the battery on my iphone 6,although its working fine but whenever the battery hits 3 or 4% the phone reboots and than it shows battery empty icon,the only thing strange is that why does it reboot first rather than turning off

This is not a normal behavior, if you ask me. I have an iPhone 6 with its first battery.

My phone suddenly became almost unusable about a week ago. Started shutting down at 50% and refusing to turn back on without plugging in for 20 minutes and a hard reset (home +power).

Battery settings said the battery needed servicing, and a battery app reported the health was 60%. As much as I hated buying a new phone mid cycle, I also didn't want to mess around having it kick the bucket at an inopportune moment so I bit the bullet and replaced it.

plus I'm just accepting that unless the industry changes its practices, phones are being made to last 2-3 years so this is just an unavoidable expense.

Why wouldn't you just spend the $79 on a battery replacement?

I live in Canada, the battery replacement here is $110 + tax. That's a lot for a 2.5 year old device that was struggling with daily tasks even before the battery issue came to a head.

And it's trade in value actually felt fair right now, and would likely go down when the next phone is announced.

Believe me I wasn't chuffed with any of the options. But at least it's dealt with now.
