Best Buy iPhone battery replacement requires specific security features to be turned off prior to service (which needs to be started one hour prior to arrival at your appointment time so it can be done within a 15 minute window) and to replace a battery requires 4 hours. Is this security procedure, 4 hour timeframe & specific battery part superior to a walk-in phone fix-it type place? Do you get a better battery? I’m assuming the prerequisite security procedure is necessary to ensure data does not get deleted or lost?
Is there anyone that has had battery replacement at Best Buy ? If so, how was your experience ? My apple stores are 2 hours away and would hate to get stuck without a phone and be so far away.
I am thinking of getting my battery replaced, as battery maximum capacity is now down to 75%. If I go to my nearest Apple Store, will they actually finish it while I wait? How long does it typically take? Or would it be better to schedule at a Best Buy, which is also an authorized apple service provider and can schedule through the Apple website?
