Is Upgrading to the iPhone® 12 Worth the Cost?

HARTLAND, Wis., Oct. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- With the upcoming release of the iPhone 12 on Oct. 23, many smartphone users are wondering if it's time to upgrade. At the same time, they're seeing a $699-$1,099 price tag on the new phone. Batteries Plus Bulbs is sharing advice to consider before deciding whether to upgrade to a new phone.

Save Money: If a user's phone is working more slowly these days, they might be thinking of replacing it. However, they don't have to spend hundreds of dollars to get a new, full-power phone. In fact, replacing a phone's battery can cost up to $1,000 less than purchasing a new phone.

Save Time: Transferring data to a new phone can take hours. An appointment to replace a phone's battery takes less than an hour, and customers can easily schedule an appointment with a Batteries Plus Bulbs technician online at batteriesplus.com.

Save Battery Life: Weakened batteries are the most common problem that causes users to purchase a new phone. While replacing the battery is a cost- and time-effective solution, it's best to avoid a worn-down battery from the start. Here are a few tips on how to get the most life out of phone batteries:

    --  Avoid letting the phone die or charging it to 100%
    --  Keep the phone charged from 30-80% at all times
    --  Delete any apps that are on the phone but aren't used
    --  Turn off location services on any apps where it's not absolutely needed
