iPhone battery die? How does a $7 repair kit sound?

Should your iPhone battery die, you have but so many choices. You can send it to Apple to have it replaced for a cool $85, or you can drop $7 and change on this do-it-yourself kit. It comes with all the tools you’ll need to get the job done, including a highly sophisticated pry bar and, natch, the battery itself.

I honestly don’t know, do iPhone batteries die very often? I don’t want to get one next week, and find out that in six months that battery is shot. I thought goods were supposed to be durable.

  • Nicholas,

    I have been using mine since June last year, typically up to 3,000 minutes a month with heavy web/email use over both EDGE and WiFi. (All I want on monday is 3G, oh, and GPS).

    The battery isn’t show any change so far. I also rarely let it fully run-down, just plug it periodically through the day.

  • Good to hear. Not being an owner, I wasn’t too familiar with any battery issues. And depending on what the new one has, yeah, I’ll probably get it, especially if all those rumors saying it’ll be subsidized to a degree turn out to be true.
