Replacing the iPhone battery has become a popular demand as the device begins to encounter the phenomenon of battery bottles, reducing usage time. However, replacing un generious batteries is increasingly causing many serious problems, directly affecting the performance, durability and safety of users.
According to Mr. David Chen, a technology expert at TechRadar (UK), using a fake iPhone battery not only reduces the performance of the device but also poses a very high risk of fire and explosion.
"Fake or poor quality batteries may not be as strictly inspected as genuine Apple batteries. They are prone to overheating, swelling or even exploding when charging," Chen warned.
One of the common signs when replacing an unreal battery is that the battery runs out faster than normal, the device heats up when used or charged. Many users also complain about sudden power outages or unstable performance after replacing the battery. This is the result of compatible batteries or actual capacity lower than the manufacturer's specifications.
In addition, iOS from version 14.5 and later has added an unreal battery warning function, making it easy for users to recognize when the device replaces the battery outside of Apple. However, many repair shops still secretly replace fake batteries to reduce costs, in exchange for potential risks for customers.
User should go to Apple-authorized warranty centers or reputable repair stores with genuine components to avoid unwanted consequences, Chen emphasized. The cost of replacing genuine batteries may be a little higher, but in return, it is safety and a stable user experience.
In some countries, the situation of replacing non- genuine iPhone batteries is common due to the high cost of replacing genuine batteries and private repair shops taking advantage of this to attract customers. This puts consumers at a lot of risk regarding quality and warranty.
With the development of technology and increasingly superior user protection features, raising awareness of genuine battery replacement is necessary to protect property and personal safety. iPhone users should be cautious, avoid "losing money and getting sick" when choosing a battery replacement, and monitor the battery status through the tools provided by Apple to promptly detect the problem.
