Hey all , I have an iPhone 7 which I bought in Europe and I’d like to replace my battery because the capacity is very low . Is there any chance that I can replace the battery in US ?

I’ve heard of that happening if the Apple Store or AASP was authorized to do actual battery replacements.


In some countries, the only battery service that Apple provides for iPhones would be complete device swaps at an equivalent price for a battery service. In that case the replacements are supposed to meet the same regulatory requirements, so service will

likely be denied for a device distributed in another country.


But you should have no problem finding an Apple Store in the US that does actual battery replacement.
