Seeking same-day iPhone 13 Pro Max battery replacement in Melbourne

Same-day iPhone 13 Pro Max battery replacement in Melbourne


Hi, my iPhone 13 Pro Max has 74% battery health and shows a “significantly degraded” battery warning. Apple quoted me A$149 for replacement.

I live in Caroline Springs, Melbourne, and need my phone for work, so I can’t leave it overnight.

Has anyone recently had a same-day battery replacement at Apple Highpoint or a nearby Apple Authorised Service Provider? How long did it take, and how can I confirm battery availability and the expected collection time before going?

Call the store and ask. There is no general answer, it depends on repair backlog at the provider and part availability. In the best case it takes under an hour if there is no one ahead of you needed genius bar services.
