The iPhone 8 is finally there - and with the smartphone also comes a new battery. It is responsible for the fact that the high-tech range in the mobile phone also persists throughout the day. We will show you in this post what you can do if the battery once gives up the ghost - and how you use the fastest and cheapest again a working mobile phone.
The battery of the iPhone 8 in detail
With the new iPhone 8, the capacity of the battery is exactly 1,821 mAh - which sounds a little bit, considering that the predecessor still had 1,960 mAh in the luggage. Remember, however, that the A11 chip in the iPhone 8 is much more efficient with the energy supplied than the A10 chip in the iPhone 7. Up to 50% more battery life speaks Apple itself. Whether that really is, will be more detailed Tests only need to show.
Battery life does not mean that the battery itself is immune to damage. This is also the case with the iPhone 8 is not the case. Let's take a look at what's going to happen with your smartphone battery:
1) Although the iPhone 8 is waterproof according to Apple. However, this information applies only to a certain depth of water and also only up to a certain dive time. More than 30 minutes at a depth of five meters, the smartphone does not stop. When water penetrates, the components that damage the current are first damaged, so the battery is also carried along. A water damage is practically irreparable, it only helps the exchange of parts.
2) Possibly you had bad luck and simply caught a battery, which ran already broken from the tape. Such a thing simply happens, the manufacturers can not do anything about it. You will notice this rather quickly, because either you can not charge your phone or the device (or its back) will be very warm when using. In this case: switch off immediately!
iPhone 8 battery: defective or not?
Beginners are not necessarily easy to identify a broken battery - in no smartphone. We therefore advise you to follow the following test:
1. Change the charging cable or the charging station, by which you charge the iPhone 8 either wired or wirelessly. Then, plug the unit into the wall outlet. Is it charged? Then the battery was not affected, but the charger was simply defect. Buy yourself a new model for a few euros and enjoy your working iPhone 8!
2. The battery indicator may be incorrect. The expert then speaks of a necessary calibration of the device. Charge it completely and then release it to 0%. Then repeat this game again. Now you will again see the real load capacity. With a little luck, it was just a display error, although actually everything is in order.
3. Compare the run times with friends who are also using this smartphone. If not, check for reputable web pages that have been tested by the smartphone. There you will see how long your iPhone 8 should actually run and how long it actually persists. The values go roughly apart? Then probably the battery is defective.
Stick to these simple tips, you'll quickly know where the error is really buried. You then have several options, as shown in the following paragraph:
Replacement or repair of the iPhone 8 battery
You can leave the iPhone 8 Apple for the manufacturer to take care of the device. However, there is only free help when it comes to a defective factory battery. If you have caused the damage yourself - water, force - Apple will help you only for money. The cost can be up to 400 euros, although it is really only a small work!
Another option is to repair the device yourself. To do this, buy a battery compatible with the iPhone 8 and a tool kit. You also need instructions that you should follow step by step. The repair of the battery itself (or its replacement) is in principle no hard thing, but is one of the simplest repair tasks on an iPhone 8. Nevertheless, especially for beginners can go a great deal wrong. Also, keep in mind that you will not have any free repair claim from Apple if you are bothered with the device. The warranty is lost - which is of course tricky with a 800 Euro smartphone.
