Hello,


I need to get a replacement battery for my iphone 5. Is there any specific brand I should get? What's the best one?


Thanks!

How did u know u had to replace the battery? what problem where u haveing ?? cause I have a iPhone 5s and it turn off all the time even tho the battery is still charged, and sometime it won't turn back on for days and when it does it work great, but then shut down out of nowhere and for no reason, sometimes it try's to turn one if I hold the two buttons but only light up abit with a dark screen.

I know that's the best option but unfortunately here where I am there's no apple retailers, so that means I would need to send it the them and be without a phone like 1 or 2 weeks. I can't do that! :/


There are no legitimate spare parts for iPhones. Apple does provide them to the public. Anything you find will either be a salvaged part, a counterfeit part, or a stolen part. Plus, you permanently void ALL support for that device from Apple in the future.

Nonsense. I have my battery replaced by a reliable local computer/phone center and it works fine without problems.



What part is nonsense? That Apple doesn't provide user-serviceable parts? Or that having service done by someone other than Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider voids your Apple support?


Please, cite your sources.


Apple does NOT sell parts to anyone other than Apple Authorized Service Providers. Whatever part they used, unless that are an Apple Authorized Service Provider, was not a legitimate Apple part, or it was reclaimed from another device, or it was stolen. End of story.

Not sure what point you are arguing.


Apple does not sell or provide official replacement part at all.


Having any work done by a third party or using third party parts voids your warranty.


These are simply true statements. Not "fan boy mentality".


It does not mean that you can get all kinds of work done that is effective. It simply means that they are not using official Apple authorized parts and that Apple will no longer service the device.
