A worn battery is the most common reason an iPhone 12 Pro starts to feel old: it drains by lunchtime, shuts down at 20% or slows down when the battery is cold. We replace it at our Midtown store with a battery we supply, for $129 plus tax.
This year the iFix New York stores took in 11 iPhone 12 Pro repairs, 3 of them at our Midtown store; batteries and screens were the usual jobs.
Signs your iPhone 12 Pro battery needs replacing
- Maximum capacity below 80%. Check it in Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging.
- “Service” next to Battery Health, or the phone shuts down with charge still showing.
- Peak performance capability is reduced: iOS slows the phone down to stop sudden shutdowns.
- A swollen battery: the screen lifts at an edge or the phone no longer sits flat. Stop charging it and bring it in.
How the battery replacement works
Walk in during opening hours or book a time. We check the battery health and the charging port first, so you do not pay for a battery when the fault is a dirty port or a cable. Then we replace the battery and test charging before you pick the phone up. Most replacements take 30–60 minutes.
Because the battery is not an Apple part, iOS may show a message in Settings that it cannot verify the battery. We explain this before we start, and the 30-day limited warranty covers the battery we fit.
