Battery service

Hello,

If you have a case on your phone, remove it and let everything dry out for a few days. Then see this:

About splash, water, and dust resistance of iPhone 7 and later 

Water and other liquid damage to iPhone or iPod isn't covered by warranty 

For battery replacement, see below (however if it has water damage, it won't be beneficial):

iPhone Battery & Power Repair

Good luck.

Hello,

you can have your battery replaced with an OEM battery at an Apple Store.

Here is the page with detailed information regarding your options and pricing.

My apologies Lawrence.

I thought it was common sense to mark an answer as "This solved my question" in order to keep the thread clean and tight.

I will make sure to comply with the "Terms of Use" from now on.

Thanks for your heads up Lawrence.

I read the "Terms of Use"/various documents Apple makes you read when joining the "Community Support" service today and it still had the "This solved my question" wording and nothing regarding a specific etiquette/bad form.

Here is one of the links shown during the sign up process that I still had open on Safari:

Solved, Helpful, and Apple recommended posts - Apple Support

On the same page they use the wording "best answer" once while referring to the answer that solved the question.

Maybe the page/document linked above still has to be updated by Apple (?) but even if this is the case this should not make the user jointly liable for following the guidelines stated in the page/document presented to the user during the sign up process.

I believe it's a matter of perspective. If the wording is "This solved my question" it makes sense to remind the OP to mark the question as answered for the sake of simplicity and ease of use for future readers (as Apple encourages the user to do on the page linked above). On the other hand if "best answer" was the only option available I can see how "reminding" the OP to mark the answer as such can be seen as "bad form".

All considered I don't believe my answer was rightfully edited by the moderator in this case. I'm here to give my contribution, help others and find answers all while being part of this community. If moderators can claim the right to go around and edit answers even when there is not a real reason to do so (like in this case) then I don't think this website can be a functional service to the community.

To the OP: sorry for the (way too) long off topic but the situation had to be addressed. I'm glad you found the answer to your question.

Peace

The button was recently changed to Best Answer, and the documentation may not have gotten completely caught up. The hosts are quite strict about any response that hints that an original poster - OP - (the only person who can mark a post as helpful or best answer) should choose their post as a best answer or “solved”; that is a decision that the OP should make without coercion. The hosts also realize that many OPs do not choose any answer for recognition, so there is a team that reads over threads that have not been marked by the OP and if they see an answer that they feel is a good response they will mark it as “Apple Recommended” and award points. The point values are: 10 for best answer, 5 for helpful, and 7 for Apple recommended. Once you reach 8,000 points (level 6) you will be given access to the “lounge”, a private forum where you can interact directly with other level 6+ users, as well as with the staff and managers of the hosting team.

You are welcome sir.

It is bad form and also a violation of the Terms of Use to ask for a solved or helpful response.

Actually, “this solved my question” was recently changed to “Best Answer”
