Replacing iPhone 7 battery
I'm having a ton of drain on my performance with battery life only at 75% I don't believe it should pull performance down this low just to get marginally better battery life. best way to go about replacing the battery?

I mean when the phone was in warranty the battery was I’m just stating if they had replaced it for the antenna issue instead of skirting around the issue they would have replaced the one and it woulda have been a non issue also. Thankfully the update helped with the signal loss so my only concern now is the battery.
the picture was it just a week ago and I’m surprised it dropped so much like that normally battery’s fail slowly or just go dead not a fast drop in my experience
also I’ve worked on small electronics before so we shall see I just found out my buddy has an Ifixit kit for my phone so I might try that today

I’ve been looking up tutorials on replacing my self since this is put of warranty might as well try it.
I did try talking to apple before about the antenna issue and they completely ignored the issue till it was out of warranty then wanted to say we can replace it for almost $500 and I was like cool... after an update the antenna has gotten better but on iOS 14 the battery has suffered a lot. I’ll see what others say. But thanks for the generic call apple non answer answer.

Now, if anything else goes wrong with the phone, something that Apple would have replaced for the out-of-warranty replacement cost (about half the cost of a new phone), you'll be out of luck. You'll need to buy a new phone at full price as Apple won't over that option for a phone that was opened.

Yeah it’s an iPhone 7 it’s def not in warranty as it’s out of warranty and is 6 years old . So I’m obviously not worried about it. Right to repair is more important to me.
My mistake. I thought that you said the issue was saving money. But, of course, this wasn't a "right to repair" issue. No one was trying to stop or forbid you from replacing the battery.
Okay for real last comment before I go but yeah I’m clearly not gonna buy a new apple device. That’s a waste of money. I’ll stick with a cheaper phone and spend my money where it counts. If you can’t understand that is a you problem not mine. Good luck in life thou!
I mean apple did remove the post and I had to email them my local laws to have it brought back up...... so yeah they are trying to stifle right to repair at this point. Either way I saved money and now the phone will keep on running and get my moneys worth out of it.
Make an appointment at any Apple authorized repair location for service.
Your battery has failed.
The battery was never under any warranty anyway.
Lots of risk replacing it yourself. The new one is only $50.
It needed replacing a week ago, too.
So if the kit is $30 and Apple will do the job for $50 you'll try to save $20?
I mean yeah I’m not made of money don’t chastise me for how I spend my money last year has been hard on a lot of people.
And downtime is a big issue for me as well
it was a success!!! Back to 100% capacity. Working flawlessly.

Yes? You seem salty. 😂.
phone is perfect at 100% battery health.
And I get to have gas money for the week now.
I only use $20 of gas in two months.
