15 to 45 minutes for most phones. We confirm timing before you commit.

That is macOS reporting the battery has passed its rated cycle count or is no longer holding charge properly. It is a normal end of life message rather than a fault, and a new cell clears it.

The usual signs are a charge that drops in steps, shutting down above 20 percent, only working while plugged in, or the back of the case lifting. If the device is also slow and hot, bring it in for a free diagnostic rather than guessing, because a failing charging port looks similar from the outside.

Treat it as urgent. Stop charging it, stop using it, and do not press on the back. A swollen cell can split. Bring it in and we will remove and dispose of it safely the same day.

A new cell should hold a normal day of use and stay above 80 percent of its rated capacity for several hundred charge cycles. The 360-day warranty covers a cell that fails early.

The usual signs are a phone that dies well before the end of the day, one that jumps from 30% to nothing, or one that shuts down in the cold. If it is instead getting hot and draining while idle, that can be software, and we check that first rather than selling you a battery.

With a genuine part, yes, exactly as before. With other tiers some iPhone models show a service message next to the battery figure. It does not affect how the phone works and we tell you which you are getting before we start.

It needs dealing with rather than panicking about. Stop charging it, do not press on it, and bring it in the same day if you can. A swollen cell pushes the screen up from behind and will crack it eventually, which turns one repair into two.

Two to three years of ordinary use before you would think about it again, which is what the original managed. Heat is what shortens that more than charge cycles, so a phone that lives on a car dashboard has a harder life than one that does not.

For most screen and battery work, 15 to 45 minutes, and people wait in the shop. Anything that has to come apart further, or that we want to run for a while before handing back, we tell you the day rather than guess at an hour.

Yes, and it is worth saying so at the counter, because a previous repair changes where we look first. Bring any screws or parts you were given back.
