I phonese help/ advice

[alice]

Right I?ve had this phone since the middle of 2017. But now it seems to run thru its battery in minutes sometimes. Is it irredeemable? Thinking of the new se - any comments? And lastly what happens to all my photos and messages. Can I take them with me? Any knowledge welcome.

Why don?t you just get battery replaced ?

Batteries do have a life span and their maximum capacity reduces over time. You may be able to see the battery?s health in your settings. (Settings/Battery/Battery health)

I?ve replaced batteries in Peckham before and found them to be ok. Don?t know how much or whether it would be worth doing it through Apple unless you?re insured.

Replacing the battery can definitely help. I changed the battery in my wife?s iPhone 6s earlier this year and it now lasts for ages. The SE also looks good though, seems much like the hardware of an 11 in the body of an 8. Can be bought directly from Apple at 0% interest over 24 months. Apple also offer trade-in on your old phone, though probably not that much.

ETA, Transferring from old to new is very easy. When you set up you new phone if you have your old phone nearby it?ll ask if you want to copy everything across. Or you can backup old phone to iCloud and restore new phone from backup.

the guy usually based in the phone shop by ED station can replace batteries/screens etc.

Perhaps call no. on the shopfront to see if/how he's operating.

Thankyou all. I did get a new ?20 battery last year in rye lane. Brilliant. for a while. Think it'll be the new SE. Will investigate Apple deal v Virgins
