The newest iPhone series, 11 and above, have a different need at the moment of changing a battery compared to older models. When you try to change to any non-original battery, a message will permanently pop-up, saying that the new battery is not original.
On the premise of keeping the original flex, the battery health and cycle can be corrected or modified by connecting the Tag-On Flex or Built-In Flex after cell replacement. To copy the information from one battery to the other, you can do it with any device: iCopy Plus, Apollo or Copy Power, but the key step is that you have to install the new flex cable inside the new battery before copying the information. This way you assure that you correct the battery efficiency, without any pop-ups annoying your customer.
BEFORE STARTING! If you already own a QianLi Apollo or iCopy Plus, there is no need to purchase the Copy Power. You will only need to purchase the new battery board that includes the connections for 11 and 12 iPhone series.
For this job, QianLi has created two types of flex cables : Tag-on Flex and Built-in Flex.
TAG-ON FLEX SOLUTION
- Connects to inline connector directly.
- Fast and convenient.
- No important skills needed.
- CONS: It will leave a mark on the surface.
BUILT-IN FLEX SOLUTION
- More professional repairing, without evidence.
- Requires some operational skills, not recommended for amateurs.
- PROS: Leaves no mark on the battery surface.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
- Do not connect the battery directly to the programmer.
- The old battery needs to be original to copy the information.
