removed the home button. While the changes are necessary to compete in the high-end smartphone landscape, there are many people who cannot afford the now-typical $1,000 price. iPhone SE is Apple's solution for those customers.
The iPhone SE retails for $400. It is similar to the iPhone 8 in design and has a 4.7-inch display. The iPhone SE includes the same A13 Bionic processor and 12-megapixel camera present in the iPhone 11 Pro. The updated internals combined with Apple's frequent software updates means s can depend on the iPhone SE for the next few years.
However, there are occasions where technology does not last the years expected and one of the biggest threats to smartphones is the battery. Lithium-ion batteries tend to diminish over time regardless of the device's overall condition. Fortunately, the manufacturer's warranty covers a battery replacement if the faulty battery is due to a manufacturing defect. The issue must be reported within the first year, otherwise the will be charged for the replacement. Apple provides AppleCare+, a warranty that extends the service and coverage of Apple products for an additional two years. AppleCare+ for the iPhone SE costs $79 and includes battery replacements, if the device retains less than 80-percent of its original capacity. According to Apple, it costs $49 to replace an iPhone SE battery out of warranty.
Only Replace The Battery Through Apple
Like any iPhone, battery replacement for the iPhone SE is straightforward. The quick and simple option is to book an appointment at an Apple Store or an Apple-authorized service location with battery replacements usually completed on the same day. s can also send their iPhone SE to an Apple Repair Center and the device will be returned within 3-5 business days. It is important to back up the device, either through iCloud or a computer, in the event the 's data gets wiped during the process of replacing the battery.
The price for a battery replacement may be cheaper through non-authorized service stores, however, Apple discourages it. A genuine battery from Apple ensures the iPhone will function properly. An iPhone with a non-genuine battery might not show its proper battery health in the settings and is likely to display a message stating that the iPhone is unable to the battery. The price for a battery replacement from Apple is fair, considering it will extend the life cycle of the iPhone SE for another few years.
