[Electronics-Talk] iPhone battery was Re: iPhone 5S and IOS 11

Sun Dec 24 07:04:25 UTC 2017

The friend that had his phone's port cleaned asked a bout a new battery at 
the Apple store, and the tech told him they'd rather he upgrade.  Go figure, 
right?
So I told him where I got mine and how much I paid.
