The downside is that the official battery price is slightly expensive, basically, 2-3 times the price of third-party battery replacement, if your battery is not in stock, you also need to make an appointment first to wait a long time to replace it.

What if I directly replace the third-party battery?

What third-party battery options are available? What quality?

China Phonefix, as a supplier and manufacturer of iPhone batteries, Phoebe can share with you the 4 types of batteries we often sell to help you go for a more suitable battery for your phone.

1. Apple pull-off original battery

This kind of battery is the same as Apple aftermarket battery in terms of quality, you can understand that the Apple aftermarket battery is A+, our pull-off original battery is A.

Except there is no way to eliminate the pop-up window, the quality is exactly the same.

(Special note: iPhone 6 to iPhone X batteries will show battery health, no pop-up windows.)

2. Battery quality

The TOP level battery is made in a large factory, using the same BMS battery management system like Apple, as well as TI's protection board, the main advantage is stability.

Phonefix can offer 100% new as the same as factory's condition battery, and the original battery retains the same characteristics, can be sold as the original battery.

3. How to solve the “non-original” message pop-up window on the iPhone XS、XR、XS Max battery in 2023?

If the replacement of a third-party battery will not show the battery health, will indicate that the battery is not original. Here is a way to solve it.

At present, there is a technology to solve, this method is called "transplant protection plate".

This method only solves the display “battery health” and does not pop up, not that the quality of the replaced battery is the same as the original, it is not.

You do not need to operate, directly using the third-party battery, the pop-up window will automatically disappear in 7-15 days.

The solution for iPhone XS, XS MAX, XR is the same, and the pictures here explain that the XS battery is used.

Preparation work:

• Need to prepare a basic set of disassembly and repair tools, need to tear down the iPhone.
• Prepare a new battery cell of the same model, don’t need the whole iPhone battery.

• Prepare a new battery adhesive and battery protection adhesive.

(Note: if you purchase the Original iPhone XS battery cell from China Phonefix, We can send you a repair kit for free.)

• Prepare a Qianli welding machine that can complete the welding work.

• Prepare the activate tool JC V1SE Programmer of the battery.

Important: You must have the Original battery from your iPhone, if not, you cannot change it.

Operation steps:

1. The original battery removed from the phone, the specific disassembly process will not be written, not the focus here.

Dismantling to pay attention to the screen line, and the protection of the face, once the face is damaged can not be repaired, can not be in the face recognition.

2. The main thing is to remove the battery inside the protection plate, the red marked red place in the picture.

3. Take out a new battery cell. 

The removed the "protection plate" and the new battery protection plate for welding, the battery has "positive and negative poles" to align, do not get reversed.

Welding with welding tools or machines can be used, as long as you can complete the welding can be used.

4. After the completion of welding, the battery re-wraps, paste the battery protection adhesive, to do a good job of insulation.

5. Put the "new battery" on the battery activation version to activate the battery.

6. After activation, directly installed and tested.

If the test after the battery does not show “non-original”, there is no pop-up window, it will display battery health, which means that there is no problem.

At this time, then install all the accessories to the original location, for a complete installation.

If you don't care about the not display of "battery health" and the prompt "non-original", you can directly replace the third-party battery.

The experience was really great, it only took 10 minutes to replace the new battery.

Now I have been using it for almost 2 months, the battery health is not displayed, Pop-ups will be displayed on the phone.

The general situation should be 4-15 days within the pop-up window will automatically message, will not pop up again, because I rarely shut down, my experience is only 2 days there is a pop-up window.

The pop-ups can be deleted, just like other apps with messages. and it will not automatically pop up again, the message can be seen in the system, in the use is not affected by any use at all.
