iPhone X X Owners Check Your Battery Status

Had an inflated battery on my iPhone X after about two years of use. Brought it in to the Genius Bar and got a replacement device on the spot. Battery was showing about 86% capacity at the time.

For those of you who are keeping yours X or handing it down (like I did after 2yrs), you can always get a new battery for $79 and it’ll keep charge like it was just out of the box again.

I decided to keep my X another year. Battery was at 85%, so I called AppleCare last week and asked if I could use one of my AppleCare+ incidents to get a replacement before my coverage runs out next week. They agreed, and I got a free replacement.

The store had to check into it as they said you normally can’t use AppleCare for a replacement if it’s still over 80%. They found the notes from the call showing that it had been authorised and promptly replaced it for me.

Worth a call to AppleCare if you still have coverage and want to keep your phone another year.

I just need this 86 percent to last til next year redesigned iPhone 12 lol

You and me both. I'll probably get a new battery when it gets unusable, and then just hand it down when I upgrade.

I’m going to do this for my old iPhone X which has 2yr coverage until February 2020 and I haven’t made one claim.
