iPhone Battery Replacement in Christchurch — What You Should Know
A tired iPhone battery doesn’t mean it’s time for a new phone.
In most cases, a quick, professional battery replacement will give your device another few years of reliable use — and save you hundreds in the process.
Here’s what every Christchurch iPhone owner should know before booking a replacement.
How to Tell It’s Time for a New Battery
If your iPhone isn’t lasting the day anymore, or suddenly turns off around 20%, it’s likely due for replacement.
You might also notice:
The battery health reading in Settings drops below 80%.
The back of the phone feels warmer than usual.
It charges slowly — or drains fast, even on standby.
The screen is lifting slightly (a sign of a swollen battery).
These are early warnings that your battery’s life cycle is coming to an end.
Why Professional Replacement Matters
iPhone batteries are sealed inside the frame and connected to delicate components.
DIY kits often cause more harm than good — it’s easy to damage the screen, Face ID sensors, or waterproof seals.

When you bring your iPhone to our Christchurch workshop, we:

How Much Does It Cost?
Most iPhone battery replacements in Christchurch cost between $89 and $149, depending on the model.
Older iPhones such as the 6, 7, and 8 sit at the lower end, while newer models like the iPhone 12 and 13 series are slightly higher.
Every replacement at Phone Repair NZ includes fitting, testing, and a six-month warranty that covers both the battery and the workmanship.
You’ll know your exact price upfront — no hidden fees, no surprises — and most batteries are replaced within two hours or less.
Why Replace Instead of Upgrade?
A new battery can extend your iPhone’s life by years for a fraction of the cost of a new device.
It’s also the more sustainable choice — less electronic waste, fewer perfectly good phones ending up in drawers or landfills.
