Get it done! Mine has been great these past few days, even in the cold weather. And the phone is back to it's old speed, much faster than it has been of late :)
Update
Package was delivered yesterday, the same item as in that video.
I watched a YouTube video of fitting a new battery and dived in. The little sucker in the kit to remove the screen was crap, so I used a bigger one that was here and it worked fine. The glue that holds the battery in place...
Update:
Just to let you all know about waiting times Apple sent an email today asking that I go to the store for my battery to be replaced.......one month after I booked it in.
One fcuking month !!!
Fcuk off Apple !!!
I've just ordered (through a friend) a new battery from Taobao. It costs 89 rmb (about £9.50) and there is a video on YouTube saying that it works fine, at least for 6 months. I'll let you know how I go on....
So, more than 3 weeks have passed and now i'm back in China. Fcuk off Apple !!!!!
I'm so pissed off that the richest company in the world couldn't get me a fcuking £20 battery within 2 weeks, and still hasn't contacted me. Utter, utter cretins !!!!
I won't be buying anything from Apple again...
Still no message from Apple. I even went to the store and they said "your allocated battery is the only one you can have and it's not in yet". It's been more than 2 weeks and i'm going back over to China on Monday. Pretty much no chance to get it sorted now. Fcuking rubbish !!!! I'll probably...
The most annoying thing on an iPhone is the "Your battery is at 20%/10% you wanker, so get it on charge, ball bag!" message that cuts off voice message you are sending!
After all the trouble I've been having recently, to top it all off my £5 Apple fake charging cable that I bought from Beijing Silk Market has just packed up...so I couldn't even charge my fcuking ballsed up iPhone !!!
When there's an update you can read all the details about what it's for. I've never seen anything about battery life (and I looked because of the issues I was having). They could have told us but chose not to.

Right. I know that no company is morally perfect, but this is shocking. My iPhone 6 is three and a half years old now and the battery is fcuked. I get it. It won't last forever and cold weather doesn't help. It's cold here in Beijing now, and after a...
I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but let me put this to you.
I'm in Beijing, land of the blocked Facebook/YouTube/Google etc websites. I use Private Internet Access VPN on my laptop, and usually VPN Express on my iPhone (although I also have PIA and two others set up on it). All of them...
The cold temperature here over the last few days didn't help. In the warmth my battery health is 80%, but in the cold it went down to 40% (not unusual I guess). I'm sure it is down to iOS10.
Since iOS 10 my iPhone 6 has been playing up. The percentage of battery life remaining is all over the place. 80% down to 25% in minutes. Then down to 1% but it has power for hours. Plug it in to recharge and it jumps to 33%, then down to 19%. It will sometimes shutdown on 25%+ power and only...
....when I open Safari and select a web page, then leave Safari without closing the browsing app, when I return the page hasn't loaded, even though it had enough time/connection speed to do so? And sometimes when a page has loaded fully, when I leave and then return (again, without closing the...
