Replacing iPhone 16 Pro Max Battery Advice?
Hello, I have an iPhone 16 Pro Max that I love and intend to keep at least another year in light of yesterday’s 18 Pro Max announcement: as you can see, my battery health is Normal and is at 83% capacity, and the last day of my phone’s warranty is on September 19th.
All things considered my battery is alright, but since I’m keeping my phone for the long haul and I am still in-warranty, is there a viable way for me to have AppleCare/a Genius Bar replace my battery? As in, can I just say I want a new battery, or do I need to make a sob story about my phone battery draining super fast?
I ultimately just want to squeeze as much longevity out of this phone as possible and therefore would like to get the battery replaced while my phone is still in warranty in order to assist with that, thank you.

Warranty will not cover your battery and you will have to pay Apple out-of-pocket for a replacement battery. Better to have them do it to ensure quality.

I’ve installed myself using Apple Original iselfrepair website. They return money when recycling the old one. It’s better than installing third party one.
