Etaoin Shrdlu Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 There are dozens of small shops in MBK that repair phones and replace batteries. Not sure whether iPhone 5SE batteries would still be easily obtainable, but MBK would be the first place I'd look if I were looking for a battery for an older phone.

sometimewoodworker Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 18 hours ago, it is what it is said: anyone know where i can get a new, non-apple, battery for my iphone 5SE in bangkok? Why exactly do you want a low quality battery? Apple batteries are at the top end of the price range but so is the quality, so you can certainly get a lower quality battery at a lower price but not an equal quality battery for cheaper. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 12/24/2022 at 11:07 PM, it is what it is said: non-apple, battery for my iphone 5SE There is no iPhone 5SE, the iPhone 5 S that was Discontinued March 2016 Maximum OSiOS 12.5.6 (16H71) The original iPhone SE was Discontinued September 2018 is listed as Latest release of iOS 15 The iPhone SE (2nd generation). I have one, is getting the current releases. The apps installed in all versions will continue to work, I have an iPhone 3GS, the apps all still work. However the apps will stop being updated so that will eventually stop some of them connecting so that is a concern, the banking apps are more likely to age out. So all in all even the iPhone SE that I guess you have is likely to get years of app updates. If it were me with an iPhone SE I would put in an Apple battery as that is likely to be the most efficient option, only if I intended to get a replacement soon (in not much more than a year) would a cheaper battery make sense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everyman Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I know you don’t want to hear this but you should buy a new phone. The non Apple batteries are <deleted> and an Apple battery is going to cost at least 4000 baht. For that you could buy an iphone 8 in decent condition. But if I were you I would get a better phone than that. If you like the small form factor the new 2022 SE is about 15,000 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really should do your homework and not spout BS @it is what it is the cost for an iPhone SE battery replacement by apple is ฿ 1,600 not @Everymans over 4000. Even an iPhone 14 pro max is under 4000 but that would be under warranty so free also the least expensive iPhone SE 3rd gen starts at 17,900 Edited December 26, 2022 by sometimewoodworker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaveHunter Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 My advice, Don't put anything in your iPhone except a legitimate apple designated battery. You're asking for real trouble if you do, especially here in Thailand where a lot of shops buy cheap and dangerous no-brand chinese batteries while they may tell you they are genuine Apple. I had mine replaced with a GENUINE apple battery. I watched the guy install it, and it cost me all of 800 THB, and that included some troubleshoot on an issue I was having with the phone. You Have to do some searching to find a reliable and honest shops. Just search through Google Maps Reviews and you find one really easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
