What will be the Cost of Replacing iPhone 8 Battery in 2021?

As your iPhone 8 powers through all its tasks with blazing efficiency, like all things in life it suffers from ageing, if not in terms of its effective performance, but certainly in its ability to retain peak battery capacity. If you are on iOS 13 or above, you can go to your “Settings” app, scroll down just a bit and tap the “Battery” tab, and then tap on “Battery Health” and here you will find the “Maximum Capacity” of your battery displayed as a percentage.

New iPhones would of course carry the fullest extent of their advertised battery life by starting from 100% capacity, however, most iPhone 8 users today most likely have owned an iPhone 8 for a few years now, and most likely would have had their iPhone 8 battery capacity reduced by at least 20%-40%, meaning instead of the 12-13 hours of active battery life you used to get when you for the first few months of buying your phone eventually reduces to even as low as 5-7 hours of active battery life, which can be a terribly inconvenient hassle requiring you to reach out for your lightening cable when you haven’t even barely made past your afternoon at work.

Is there something you can try?

One may try to resort to buying phone battery cases made specifically for the iPhone 8, but that proves to be a terribly cumbersome way to carry a phone and is very counterintuitive towards the idea of buying a smartphone like the iPhone 8. Since iPhone 8 users also value their choice of buying the iPhone 8 because of its small and portable size, it is thus touted to offer the kind of performance that rivals its physically bigger flagship competitors above its scale and price range.

Alongside an increase in prices of iPhones making it harder to upgrade, and having to bear the inconvenience of migrating your iPhone 8 to a new iPhone, it is only logical that the only viable solution to a deteriorating battery life is an iPhone 8 battery replacement.

However, even these battery replacement service by Apple have seen a sharp surge in prices since 2019, and by 2021 almost doubling the original cost of $29 to over well over $50 for all iPhone SE, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, and the bigger variant iPhone 8 Plus battery replacements, plus additional charges in the form of taxes or delivery charges if your repair requires shipping.

Buying an Apple Care protection plan costs the same or even more and essentially end up paying retrospectively (and more) for most probably the only repair job you will get for your iPhone 8 during its lifespan before you choose to retire it.

How to Make Sense of Your Decision to Replace Your Battery

So how do you do go on about resolving this issue after you have identified the your solution? When it is evident that it is only makes sense to get your iPhone 8’s battery replaced as long as it is done in an affordable manner, one must realize that iPhone 8 battery replacement services are not confined to Apple genius bars alone, just like how iPhone repair services offered by third party iPhone repair shops are now a common place occurrence and now mostly even preferred compared to Apple and their stores themselves.
