iPhone X: Battery Broken - Repair Options

The battery is the energy provider of every smartphone. However, lithium-ion batteries have an expiration date that depends on the rate of wear and tear. It can also happen that the battery just breaks. Usually, this is due to a manufacturing defect. Here, the warranty often takes effect.

What can you do if the iPhone X battery is broken?

The service life of a battery is described by the number of charging cycles. For an iPhone, the capacity of the battery is still about 80 percent after 400 to 500 charging cycles. Apple guarantees this. If the capacity is lower, you can have the battery replaced by Apple free of charge.

1. First check whether the battery is defective. Change the charging cable to rule out a defect in the same. Test whether your smartphone discharges quickly even without heavy loads.
2. You have several options to replace your battery. Contact Apple directly, use another provider or make the repair yourself.
3. If you want to have your battery replaced by Apple, go to the appropriate support page and have a shipping bag sent to you. What the exact costs are, you can read on the pricing page of Apple.
4. You can also use a third-party provider. Hier verfällt allerdings die Garantie des Geräts, dafür ist der Service meist um einiges günstiger.
5. Sie können den Akku auch selbst wechseln. Hierfür benötigen Sie ein entsprechendes Reparatur-Set sowie eine gute Anleitung und Fingerspitzengefühl.
