Cheap is cheap

I suspect the demand is going to be so high that it is going to be like polyclinic

Take an appointment, leave the phone there, collect a week later

But I will still choose this $38 method rather than go to 3rd party

Got warranty Bo?

To find out the status of your battery and CPU, users of iPhones can download Lirum Device Info Lite from Apple Store.

 

Once you have the App, you can check the charge of your battery as follow:

  • On the top left hand corner, click “This Device”
  • Click “Battery”.
  • You will find “Battery Designed Max” and “Battery Actual Max”.
  • I’m using iPhone SE and both are 1624mAh and 1400mAh respectively, which means my battery is only having 86% capacity of new.

 

As for the performance of processor:

  • Click “CPU”.
  • You will find “CPU Actual Clock” and “CPU Maximum Clock”.
  • Mine is having 1.85GHz for both respectively, which means my SE has not suffered a deterioration in performance despite the IOS update.

Hope Apple can say at what point, they will replace battery at $38

If not waste time go down, then they say: aiyah your battery still got 80% hit point, we only change when 40% hit point

Some iPhone X owners are having issues with overheating Excessive cellular data consumption is also being observed By Cal Jeffrey  on Jan 10, 2018, 6:04 PM

Apple has been quite busy juggling its PR image with the controversy over throttled iPhones. As if that was not enough, it is now being reported that its flagship iPhone X is having issues with overheating and excessive data consumption.

As far back as November, websites like Tenorshare and TechoBezz have been offering advice to iPhone X owners on how to keep their devices from overheating. Their recommendations range from forcing a hard reset to disabling background app refreshes.

Even if these home remedies alleviate overheating, there is no reason in users’ minds that a $1,000 phone should have to be home remedied at all. So they have begun flocking to Apple’s support forum to complain.

Several applications and actions seem to be triggering the iPhone X to heat up. Waze, the native YouTube app and watching a video in Safari all seem to generate excessive heat. Rapid battery loss also accompanies the issue.

One owner documented the issue in a video. It shows the camera's flash has been disabled due to excessive heat. Several comments on the video show numerous others having similar issues.

Another iPhone X owner complained on Reddit that his iPhone got so hot that it was hard to hold and finally “failed.”

“My wife’s iPhone X overheated last night and failed,” he wrote. “The phone is so hot I could barley hold it. I have tried to restart, and connect to iTunes. It will not register being connected, and is frozen on the notification screen.”

After reaching a certain temperature, iPhones will shut down to prevent damage. I experienced this safety measure last summer when the sun heated up my iPhone 6s which I was using to navigate in my car.

At least one user has reported putting his device in the freezer to cool it down.

To make matters worse, other owners are saying the iPhone X is consuming copious amounts of data from their cellular provider. The phone (or more likely apps on the phone) seem to be using large quantities of mobile bandwidth even when the phone is connected to Wi-Fi.

4.5GB mobile data used by iPhone X in 4 hours while sitting at home connected to WiFi and not using it.


Shambles.
— Stephen (@smsanders) 

It is unclear if the overheating and data consumption problems are related. So far Apple has not officially responded to those complaining in the support forum nor has it acknowledged there is a problem. That does not mean engineers are not aware of the situation and may actually be in the process of trying to figure out what is wrong and how to fix it.

If you have experienced overheating issues with your iPhone, you can try some of the home remedies until Apple gets a fix together. However, I do not recommend putting it in the freezer. Rapid cooling is likely to cause more problems than it will fix.

err. they said they give battery replacement cheaper. but they didn't say they will speed up the phone once the battery is replaced leh [laugh]

your premise is factually incorrect. What apple has done is to throttle the processor performance by taking into account the battery health (age determined by cycle life). That is, once an offending battery pack was changed, the throttling is no longer effected.

 

See link for proof.

Ming-Chi Kuo: low demand could see Apple discontinue the iPhone X this summer Chinese consumers don't love the iPhone X By Rob Thubron  on Jan 22, 2018, 6:12 AM
2017-11-07-image-25.jpg

Could the iPhone X become one of Apple’s most short-lived smartphone? That the opinion of renowned KGI Securities Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who believes low demand for Apple’s flagship might result in production ceasing this summer.

According to a KGI report obtained by AppleInsider, the main factor behind Apple’s thinking is the lukewarm reception toward the iPhone X in China. Apple is the fifth biggest phone manufacturer in the Asian nation, and the only foreign company to appear in the country’s top ten best-selling handsets list—the iPhone 7 Plus took the second spot. But Chinese consumers have a penchant for phones with large displays, and they view the iPhone X’s contentious notch as taking up too much screen real estate.

Kuo said Apple would release three new phones this fall. Instead of dropping the price of the iPhone X once they launch, the flagship will be “end of life” in the summer of 2018. The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus will be discounted once the new devices are released.

Kuo still has some positive news for Apple, though. In addition to seeing a small 5 percent growth in the first half of the year, the company will end 2018 with an overall growth rate of 10 percent for the entire year, mostly thanks to the new handsets.

Much of the iPhone X’s technology and design are expected to appear in Apple’s next generation of phones, which include a second-gen 5.8-inch iPhone X, a 6.5-inch iPhone X Plus, and a new 6.1-inch iPhone SE that features Face ID and costs between $650 - $750. Apple hopes the two larger devices will appeal to the Chinese market.
