iPhone X: swollen battery lifted the screen
A client from Astana noticed the screen was bulging and the body had warped. We replaced the swollen battery, checked the capacity and charging — the phone is as good as new again.
Drop off your iPhone X by noon — we'll fit a new battery in 25 minutes, your data stays put.

Shutdowns in the cold, melting percentages, stutter and a swollen cell: a familiar set of signs for this phone battery.
On a frosty Astana street the phone dies at half charge, yet indoors it claims to be almost full.
The charge level drops several points during a short chat, and by evening you are hunting for a socket.
iOS slows the processor so the phone will not shut down: apps open late and animations jerk along.
The screen lifts away from the frame or the body bulges slightly. Stop using it and bring it to a technician.
The cost of the job with a new battery for the iPhone X is in the table; the technician confirms the exact figure after looking at your phone.

The final amount depends on the part you choose: an original cell costs more than an aftermarket one, and condition is judged on site.
A battery swap in Astana follows a clear order, from the look before the work to the charging test at the end.

The technician inspects the frame, screen and connectors to tell battery wear apart from another fault.

The display is lifted away without strain on its cables, which are thin on the X and hate haste.

A firmly glued battery comes out with adhesive strips and gentle heat, never by prying or bending.

The new cell is seated, its cable connected, and the contacts checked to make sure they sit flat.

The body is closed with a fresh gasket along its edge, so dust and splashes are less of a worry.

The iPhone is switched on, the battery page in Settings is checked, and wired and wireless charging are tried.
Every step is done by technicians who handle this kind of repair daily.
Price for my modelBoth parts fit the iPhone X body but differ in lifespan and price, so the choice depends on how long you plan to keep the phone.


A hard winter exposes a weak battery fast, so we briefly explain how our Astana branch helps the people who visit it.
The work carries a warranty up to 1 year: if the battery acts strangely, the technician looks at the phone again.
We have repaired Apple devices for 11 years, so we know where iPhones of this generation tend to give out.

iPhone X Battery Replacement in Astana with a 25 Minute Wait
iServices handles iPhone X battery replacement in Astana in about 25 minutes while you wait. We fit an original battery or an aftermarket one, fix the part, turnaround and warranty on a receipt before work starts, and check 32 functions afterwards. Warranty runs up to 1 year.
The power pack inside the iPhone X degrades with every cycle, so a device that once ran all day now reaches for a socket by lunchtime. Weighing up iPhone X battery replacement in Astana? Confirm the pack is the cause.
On this model the Battery Health screen shows Maximum Capacity and Peak Performance Capability, and a reading in the low 80s with a service message means the component is due for replacement. That percentage reflects how much energy it stores compared with a fresh one, while the peak line reports whether the device can still deliver full output under load. A "Service Recommended" note appears once the part can no longer sustain that output. Cycles count full discharges, and this handset is rated for around 500 before its figure drops noticeably. Capacity alone is not the whole story — a phone that shuts down at 25–30 % under load or in cold weather needs a new one even if the number still looks acceptable.
We start with a free 15 minute diagnostic in front of you, because a handset that will not charge is often a port or cable problem rather than a worn unit. The Lightning connector collects pocket lint and the contacts wear down, so the cable only holds at an angle or the device charges on one side. Inside, the charging controller on the board manages the flow, and when it fails the phone never fills properly. A USB current tester separates the three causes quickly — steady low output points to the pack, none at all to the port or board, and an intermittent reading to a damaged connector. Catching this before the swap saves you from paying for a part the phone never needed.
Owners of the X face a real choice between a factory part and a compatible equivalent. The two behave differently inside the software, and what the handset displays afterwards often decides the question.
| Option | Health readings | On-screen notice | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Factory part | Capacity and cycles shown | None | Keeping the menu unchanged |
| Compatible pack | May be limited or hidden | Unknown part notice possible | Everyday budget use |
| Paired BMS swap | Restored where supported | Usually none | Preserving the data |
On the X family the battery controller is paired to the logic board, so a pack without the matching chip can leave Battery Health blank or trigger a service notice. The pairing runs through the BMS board soldered onto the pack, and the mainboard reads its serial at every boot. A compatible unit carries its own controller with a different serial, so the software flags it as unrecognised. This is pairing behaviour, not a defect of the fresh part — the handset still runs and charges normally, and the warning clears only with a properly matched factory component. Owners of the XR, XS and 11 meet the same reaction, which is why the question comes up so often at our counter. If a clean Health screen matters to you, confirm the part type before the swap rather than after.
Here is the path from your first message to the moment the phone is back in your hand: what gets written down before work begins, how long it takes, and what you walk out with.
An engineer replies on WhatsApp within 5 minutes and quotes a price from a photo, then fixes the price, part, turnaround and warranty on the receipt in about 2 minutes before work starts. Send one clear shot of the device and a short note on what the phone is doing — the estimate comes back the same way. Before installation, the new cell is shown to you in its factory packaging, still sealed. The receipt names the exact part, whether original or aftermarket, so there is no swapping of wording halfway through. Ask to see the new cell in its factory packaging before installation — that is the simplest way to confirm you are getting a fresh part and not a pulled one. If you are looking for iPhone X battery replacement in Astana, this is how the process starts.
Most battery jobs on this model take about 25 minutes, and 72% of our repairs are finished while the customer waits in the lounge with coffee and Wi-Fi. You can settle the bill by Kaspi, card or cash once the phone is back in your hands. If coming in person is awkward, a courier can be called and the device collected from your address. The whole process, from first contact to pickup, usually lands under an hour. You leave with the receipt, the warranty card and the old cell, so keep the old part — it is your proof the swap actually happened if a question ever comes up.
Once the new cell is in, the handset goes through a function test and the body is resealed. Here is what we inspect, what happens to your data and how the fresh adhesive behaves.
After the repair we check 32 functions in about 10 minutes, including Face ID, True Tone, cameras, microphones, speakers, charging and network, together with you. The engineer hands the device over and walks through each item on the list while you hold it, so nothing is signed off on trust alone. Wireless charging gets its own pass on the pad, and the battery percentage is watched during a short discharge cycle to confirm the gauge reads correctly. Face ID and True Tone are the two features most likely to suffer from a rushed reassembly on the X, so verify them yourself before you leave the workshop — unlock with a glance and tilt the screen to watch it shift from warm to cool.
A battery swap does not touch your data, and on the X we renew the adhesive seal so the body keeps its resistance to splashes, with a warranty up to 1 year on the work. Photos, messages, apps and accounts stay exactly where they were, because the procedure works around the logic board rather than modifying it. The old gasket is removed, the frame is cleaned, and a fresh strip is pressed in before the display goes on again. That new layer needs a day to settle, so keep the handset away from water and heavy pressure for the first 24 hours even though it feels fully closed. Bring the device to us within the warranty window if the battery health reading drops unexpectedly.
A swollen cell and everyday charging habits both shape how long a battery serves you. Below is what to do the moment the screen starts lifting, and how to treat a fresh one so it holds up for years.
A swollen cell pushes the display out from inside, and it should not be charged or pressed on — bring the device in as soon as you notice the screen lifting. Gas builds up inside the lithium cells, and the pressure lands on the display module first, so a visible gap along the frame means the swelling has travelled far. Heat accelerates the reaction: a unit that grows warm on the charger while the screen bows is a sign to unplug it right away. Do not puncture or bend an expanded pack to make it fit back in the case; a damaged lithium cell can vent, so leave the device switched off and away from heat until a technician sees it.
Five points sum up what decides the outcome of a battery swap on this model — when the power pack is genuinely worn, which part goes in, and how the phone is treated afterwards.

Ask a questionThe iPhone X uses two cells joined in an L shape to fill the space around its compact stacked logic board. For replacement it is still one part, swapped as a whole. A good replacement keeps the same shape and fit.
Check Settings, Battery for apps active in the background first, because one misbehaving app can drain it. If usage looks normal and the drop is still large, the cell is worn. Replacement fixes standby time when the board is healthy.
A gap between the display and frame often means the battery has swollen and is pushing from inside. Stop charging the phone and do not press the screen back. Bring it in so the battery is removed safely.
No, the Face ID modules in the notch are not replaced or detached for this work. The display is opened and disconnected only for access to the battery. At pickup you set up and test Face ID with the engineer.
Yes, the old adhesive gasket around the display is removed and a new one is laid before closing. It protects against dust and splashes, but the phone should no longer be treated as waterproof. Keep it out of the bath and pool.
For a few days after a major update the phone indexes photos and data, so drain may rise temporarily. If it stays high a week later, look at Battery Health. A worn iPhone X battery is usually the real cause.

The difference is not always visible, but it can be checked. An original panel is the one the manufacturer installs; an aftermarket copy costs about 35% less.
