It's actually not too expensive, $49 or $69. Cheaper than some non-Apple shops: https://support.apple.com/iphone/repair/service/battery-powe...

It’s really cheap when you add the risks. Apple replaced the battery in my 6s about three years back and it didn’t work afterwards. If this was an independent phone shop they’d give it back and make an excuse or try and sell you another hooky handset. Apple gave me a brand new untouched 6s handset instead.

Been there done that. Went in for a battery replacement, on pickup they said they could not fix it as is, and gave me a new phone. Probably was a 6/6S for me too.

Me too.

And then within 2 days I put a deep scratch in the screen.
