my local iphone servicing company replaced the battery for $50 while I waited. took an hour. don't wait to get that done. there is no warranty left on this for iphones, but you might be able to check the serial number online with apple, as some iphone 5 had a replacement covered.


Be aware that some are reporting the camera and flashlight could have an issue after the repair, or because of the battery swelling. good luck.

It's worth unplugging it from any charging device. Back it up and switch it off and visit an apple store. the battery will need replacing sadly, but it could have effected the camera too. It's worth visiting a apple store as it could come under a recall program as they did have a battery issues i believe so they can check this.


Good luck! 🙂
