iPhone 8+ battery

I have aiPhone 8+, about 2 years old. The battery wears down very fast. A place locally says they can replace the battery for about $70> Has anyone done that and what kind of results have you had.


Thanks,


Marty

Hello,

You will not be happy with a non-authorized repair. See this for Apple's repair: iPhone Battery Replacement - Official Apple Support

However, in the meantime, these are the standard steps for short battery life:

1) Have you tried a restart?  If not, do it now.

2) Go to Settings > Battery > BATTERY USAGE BY APP to see the apps that are consuming your battery.

3) Check “Battery Health” in the link: 

iPhone Battery and Performance

Good luck.
