r/iphone on Reddit: How long does a battery replacement take at an Apple store?
June 23, 2017 -

Has anyone had their iPhone battery replaced on their iPhone while they waited in an Apple store? I plan on making an appointment at my local store, and was wondering whether it’s something I could wait for in the store, or if I would have to come back later in the day, etc. Of course, I understand that it might vary somewhat depending on how busy the store is, but just looking for a ballpark. TIA.

Edit: Aternatively, if it’s too long of a wait, is it possible to drop it off and pick it up the next day?

September 5, 2024 - It's supposed to take only an hour but if they are busy expect them to take longer than that. But I've never had to let them keep my phone overnight. I've also went to the Apple Store for a battery replacement without an appointment, but YMMV.
