If you love your iPhone, there is a good chance you have put the battery to the test. When the time between charges gets shorter and shorter or your phone seems to be slowing down, it may be time to replace the battery. However, iPhone batteries do not just “pop out” like many other cell phones. Replacing the battery is a little more challenging and requires the right tools and expertise.
To replace an iPhone battery, it is more than just popping off the back of the case of the phone. You need a battery removal kit to have the right tools to do the job. iPhones are glued and screwed together. You will need to carefully remove adhesive and screws to take out the battery and inset the new one. The problem is that if done incorrectly, you can break the adhesive and even damage the battery. Plus, on newer iPhones, you can lose the waterproofing once the glue is removed.
Bring Your iPhone to a Pro
While you can buy the kits to replace your own iPhone battery, it is worth it to have a professional do this job for you. It is not worth the risk of damaging your device to save a few bucks off a battery replacement service. Find a quality cell phone repair shop that specializes in iPhone repairs and bring your phone in for a battery replacement. These pros have the training and tools to do the repair right – make sure to ask if they warranty their services.
Some tasks are best left to the professionals. If you iPhone battery needs replacement, bring it to a local cell phone repair shop versus doing it yourself.

It is getting more and more expensive to own the latest technology. The days of free cell phones are in the past, especially if you want an iPhone. While some people can afford to buy a new iPhone every time a new model comes available, most people want to ensure their phone lasts as long as possible. Just like any device, your iPhone needs proper care to last. Here are some tips that can help you extend the life of your iPhone until you are ready to upgrade to another model.
Protect It
This should go without saying, but if you don’t already have a protective case or cover on your iPhone, invest in one now. It is only a matter of time before you sit on it, drop it or wear down the plastic from use.
Downloading Apps
Your iPhone is a mini computer and it is susceptible to viruses and malware. Be very careful downloading apps; choose a reliable source to avoid getting a bad bug that can crash your iPhone.
Battery Maintenance
Make your battery last longer by not overcharging or overusing it. Batteries should only be charged until they are full, then unplugged. Often people have apps that continue running in the background, using their battery life when they aren’t using their phone. Make sure this isn’t happening on your iPhone.
Repairs
Don’t try to do repairs on your own. If you damage the screen or your phone is heating up too fast, bring it to an iPhone repair shop. Makes sure the technicians are trained and certified for working on iPhones and that the company offers a good warranty on their repair work.

It happens to even the most scrupulous iPhone user. Even with screen protectors and expensive cases, your iPhone is never completely resilient to damage. Drop that phone just right on cement or accidentally sit on it when it is in your pocket and you can end up with a cracked screen that just doesn’t function right anymore. Even a tiny crack will eventually grow, turning your trusty iPhone into an expensive paperweight. So when the unthinkable happens, do you shell out hundreds of dollars for a new phone or get it repaired?
The problem with many repair options is that you need to send your phone to be fixed or replaced, especially if you use phone insurance through your carrier. While this may seem like a good option, in the mean time you are without a phone. There is a good chance you will not get your same phone back, meaning you will need to reload all your apps and other settings on your replacement phone. The same is true if you buy a new phone. But there is one more option: same day, local repair.
Luckily, there are now mobile device repair shops in most shopping centers that can repair your iPhone on the spot. Some even offer mobile repairs where the technician comes to you. Most common damage issues can be fixed in as little as a few minutes, allowing you to keep your same phone, apps and settings, while repairing your cracked screen or other issues.
If you find yourself with a broken iPhone, iPad or other mobile device, check around before going through the hassle of sending it off for repair or buying a new device. You may be able to get it fixed the same day for a reasonable price right in your home town.

If you are like most people, you depend on your mobile device. It is your connection to your friends, family, work and the world. Unfortunately, these handy electronics are also expensive to replace when something goes wrong. Whether your smart phone was dropped into a hot tub or your tablet tangled with the pavement, you may have a device that is no longer connecting you to anything. Before you toss it in the trash, consider the other options.
Repair vs. Replace
Only a few years ago, it was almost unheard of to have a mobile device repaired. It was usually cheaper just to buy a new one than to have it fixed. However, the popularity of these devices has created a new industry around inexpensive repairs. Many common problems such as cracked screens or water damage can be repaired, fast and affordably. Before opting to replace your broken device, it is worth researching whether it can be fixed first.
Sell Your Broken Device
There are times when a device is beyond repair, making it necessary to buy a new phone or tablet. The good news is that because of the evolved repair industry, even devices that are not working can still be worth money. Some of the same companies that repair mobile devices will also buy the device if you decide it is not worth it to pay to have it repaired. This will give you a little money to put toward your new purchase.
Next time you find yourself with a phone or tablet that is on the blitz, find a company that offers both repair and buying options. Some even offer mobile repairs, giving you a chance to have your device fixed right away, or sell the device for some quick cash.

New smartphones have become a substantial investment, with many popular models costing hundreds of dollars to replace. While getting the newest version can be an exciting purchase, it is also expensive. Unfortunately, due to their heavy use, these devices can easily be damaged, leaving owners facing a dilemma regarding whether to buy a new phone or continue using a damaged device. However, there are other options to consider before just replacing a damaged smartphone or tablet.
Repair Options
Depending on the type of damage to the device, obtaining cell phone repairs may be a feasible option. Especially for devices which are still fairly new, it may be worth investigating whether it can be fixed instead of replaced. Some of the common repairs that can be fixed include:
Even if a device cannot be repaired, extensive damage doesn’t always mean a complete loss. Even non-working phones and tablets can often be sold to be refurbished or for parts. This money can be used to purchase a new or used device, cutting the cost of buying a new phone or mobile device.

Apple has done an amazing job in providing cutting edge hardware in the form of the iPod, iPhone, iPad, but Apple’s roots trace back to the Mac, which one of the first personal computers widely available. One of the things that made and continues to make the Mac unique to computers is its operating system, which is a proprietary operating system unique to Mac computers and is not Microsoft Windows® based.

Whenever any computer, including a Mac is not behaving like it normally does, the first thing to consider is that a virus has infected the machine.
There are a number of steps to take to prevent a virus from infecting your Mac.

Next, if the anti-virus system gives you a warning of a potential problem with a website, DO NOT visit the website! In the event that your Mac becomes infected with a virus, prompt removal of the virus is highly recommended to prevent any further damage.

Most families have some type of “i” device, from iPods to iPhones. These devices have become a large part of our lives, and are continuously changing and upgrading to the next level of technology.
