If you repair the battery of your iPhone 11 and it was under warranty, said warranty will be maintained and may even be increased depending on the duration remaining at the time of replacement. In addition, like any process in which the device is opened, it may be the case that the device suffers some damage, if this happened, Apple would be in charge of providing you with a completely new device, that is, you would not be completely concerned about the fact that your iPhone 11 may suffer some damage during the repair process.

However, not everything is perfect, obviously the point for which many users rule out this option is the cost of replacing the battery through official Apple means. The company charges 75 euros for this process and 29 euros if you have AppleCare +.

In SATs

Another of the most recommended options is to replace the battery in a SAT. The SATs are centers authorized by Apple itself both to sell its products and to be able to carry out technical service officially with all the advantages that this entails. Really for technical purposes, replacing the battery in a SAT is the same as doing it in an Apple Store, so you can be completely sure of the reliability of carrying out this procedure in a center authorized by the Cupertino company.

To do this, the process is the same as if you did it in an Apple Store, you just have to make an appointment to be seen by a professional from said establishment. Also, in some cases it may be even better to have the replacement or repair done at an Apple Authorized Center because prices can, in rare cases, be even cheaper.

In an unauthorized center

Let's go with the third option, and that is to replace the battery in a center not authorized by Apple. In this case, the advantage and the reason that leads some users to opt for this route is the price of the replacement. Usually it is usually considerably cheaper, however, surely if you weigh the advantages and possible problems that you may have as a result of carrying out the replacement in an unauthorized center, you will think twice before opting for this route.

The first thing you have to know is that, once the device is opened by a service that is not from Apple or authorized by Apple, it will lose all the warranty, in addition, you also have to take into account that the battery will not be The official of the Cupertino company, so it is possible that it could give a failure, not so much at the moment, but after some time of use. Therefore, if even so you continue with the idea of ​​opting for this route, what we recommend is that you be very clear about the conditions that this center offers you when changing the battery of your device, so that in case of that fails, you can claim.

Change the iPhone 11 battery yourself

We have already discussed the three options that you have available if you want to change the battery of your iPhone 11. Our recommendation is that you choose to do it through an official route, that is, by going to an Apple Store or, failing that, through a SAT. However, there is a fourth possibility, and that is that you yourself are in charge of carrying out this entire process.

What you should know beforehand

If this is the option you have in mind, you have to take into account a series of conditions that you might not have thought about but that you have to know before getting down to work . First of all, you have to buy a battery to be able to replace the one you currently have in the iPhone, this battery will never be the official one from Apple, so, as we mentioned before, it can present failures when using it. In addition, once you have the iPhone, it will lose its entire warranty, which is another reason why we always recommend carrying out this type of repair through official services.

Another point that you have to take into account is your skills.
