After a few years, our iPhone They begin to generate problems of autonomy, lasting much less than the first day, and warming more for any reason, at which time we consider change your batterysince the phone, otherwise, works well.
Here we have two options, or do it officially, in an Apple Store or SAT, or take it to a technical service of our independent city to Apple, who will also do this to us, although with alternative components, since Apple does not sell the originals.
However, we must be careful, because we could lose our photos, files, and all the data that do not have a backupif we do not follow the steps that Apple tells us before taking it to its stores to do this.
What to do to avoid losing our data by changing the iPhone battery
As Apple indicates to us when making an appointment at the Apple Store through its support application, we will have to make a backup and detach our iPhone of the Search Network and our Apple ID. This is done for security, since they will format the device, before any change, so we would remain with nothing inside it. To do this, we must follow certain steps if we want to keep everything.
- Backup:
- Icloud: Make sure your iPhone is making an automatic backup in ICloud. You can go to Settings> Your name> ICLOUD> ICLOUD Backup and activate the option if you have not done so. Then make a manual backup playing Back up now.
- iTunes/Finder (for macOS or PC): If you prefer to make a local backup, you can connect it to your computer and use Finder to make a complete copy of your device.
- Verify that the backup has been done correctly:
- If you used Icloud, you can go to Settings> Your name> Icloud> Manage storage To verify that the backup is recent.
- If you used iTunes or Finder, make sure the last backup is on the backup list.
- Deactivate activation block:
- If you are going to change the battery, you will have to remove the “activation block” so that they can do the job without problems. You can do this from Settings> Your name> Icloud> Search my iPhone and deactivate Find my iPhone.
Ready, now you can change the battery, and once you restart your iPhone, with your Apple Id, restore everything you had. Remember that, for free, Apple only offers you 5 GB of storageso if you have more, you must make the copy on the computer, or pay for an extension, being 50 GB to 0.99 euros, the most economical, and that may arrive.
In case of taking your iPhone to an unofficial store, you can ask the technician. Normally, they do not need you to do anything, and they will change the battery without problem, without losing any data if you do not wish, so, despite less safe, it is more comfortable, at least if you trust the technician.
