    What happens if you destroy the phone? Even Apple managed to destroy a phone previously when getting a battery change. Of course they were able to swap it out with a refurb immediately.

        Very good chance that it won't be the genuine apple battery. Therefore IMO not worth the replacement and jumping over hurdles.

    Will they potentially replace other genuine apple parts with their counterfeit parts whilst changing our batteries? I've heard stories before. :S Unless they just change it in front of you.

      Geez you iphone owners are so Paranoid, ripping your data not possible, replacing your parts not possible with out huge warnings on your phone, been repairing iphones for 15yrs. Whilst batteries i use are not Apple they are identical made in same factory, watched em come off assembly line 1 side Apple 1 side 3rd party. Difference is price nothing else. Most reputable repair shops buy these batteries anything else well you take risk.

        Isn't the huge warning, hardware detection etc added in recent models? There might be a reason they are only doing this for older models upto a specific one.

        There is no reason for a business to do something like this without some motive, unless this acts as a huge promotion for their repair business, which might also be the case

    • dante173 on 10/05/2024 - 11:45

      It surprised me how lot of people didn’t do their own due diligence and wondered why they got scammed.

      When you pay for something using, say, paypal you have buyer protection at least. I think it is important because that helped me recover the money I paid to dodgy sellers twice in my history of online purchases.

      When you get free service like this and pay nothing, then you read the verification report from imazing /3utools, and find out some fishy info (batt manufacturing date being too old, or even some other parts got swapped out). In that case, what are you going to do? ACL? What proof can you bring to table? And what kind of compensation you expect to seek, since you paid nothing and even other parts got swap out, how to prove that they did it but not others? Well you actually can, but at a cost of such worries and potential hassles (weeks or months-long email / phone for dealing with ACL, costing you time, emotional and other lossess due to downtime of your phone (assuming it is your primary use phone).

      Think twice guys next time when you see any freebies. Business is always a business.

    If you know the business practices behind this company, I would strongly reconsider getting your battery changed. Not to mention, the way how the owner treats his customers and employees is simply appalling. Just a quick Google search will tell you everything about Buzztech. Buzztech does not have a good reputation in Geelong region & many people phones are in worse shape after a said repair has been done.

    • CyberMurning on 11/05/2024 - 10:40

    Went in and had an old phone battery replaced today, coconut battery says 1 cycle and 100% capacity and from desay corporation, 1600 days old. iPhone says battery unable to be verified. Now charging, remind me to report back after charging.

      @sakanasama how’d you go? I had my old iPhone Xs done and now have a seemingly permanent notification in my settings saying non-genuine battery detected. Doesn’t have an impact on general functionality but you can’t access the battery health feature in settings. Wondering if yours is the same?

      • sakanasama on 14/05/2024 - 18:26
        +1

        Yeah, so I do have the "Important battery message" showing up as well, no battery health, the tech did also left some residue behind, nothing impact functionality. Funnily though, my iphone 15pm keeps thinking its a new apple watch everytime i turn it on, and wants me to pair which is kind of annoying. Other than that, the design capacity of XS MAX battery is 3174 mah, and using coconut battery, this one shows 3545 mah, which is a larger battery, i guess a good thing. Phone definitely runs faster compared to my old battery. So no complaints here.
