I have an iPhone 8 that I bought in September 2018. Recently, the battery was running low very quickly. So, I thought it should be replaced. I went to the Apple Store in the Queens Center Mall on Monday and was told that I could wait for 2-3 hours as a walk-in or make an appointment for later in the week. I made an appointment for Thursday.
On the way home I passed by a small electronics store that stated they repair iPhones. I thought instead of waiting three days to go back to the Apple Store I would replace the batter at this small store. When I went back home with a new battery, I discovered that it wasn't charging. I brought it back to the small store the next day. He fiddled around with it and insisted that it was OK. When I got home it still didn't charge.
Luckily, I did not cancel my appointment at the Apple Store. On the way there my phone would not boot up. The people there reinstalled the software and put in a new battery. Everything is OK with the phone, but I lost my contacts and had to put in passwords for many of my apps. This is a time-consuming task, but at least I didn't have to buy a new phone. The enhanced camera is the only difference I can see in the newer iPhones.
All's well that ends well.
