guys, I went to the Apple store about getting my iPhone 6 battery replaced. I was surprised as I expected they would get my name and contact info and contact me with a date to come back to do the job. Instead I got a place in line for the Genius Bar instead and I waited my turn. A Genius hooked up my iPhone to an iPad and ran a diagnostic. She determined the battery was still 82% and still considered good, but she said it was of course older and not holding a change as long as it used to. She immediately took in back and said it would be ready in an hour. So I went about my shopping, went home had lunch and came back and it was ready. I keep my iPhones in perfect shape and the most worrisome for me was they would nick it or not do a perfect job. It had a few finger prints, but overall, it looked unscathed. That was a nice experience!
I used Coconut Battery for the first time on the advice of a friend. I was able to check the iPhone 6 battery and my iPhone X battery too. Not surprisingly, the capacity of the iPhone X is higher. I’ve also reset all the apps to only use data when the apps are in use, I thought I got them all, but the Genius found a couple I missed. So that should help the batteries last longer on a charge.
