iPhone 4S Question: Full Charge Capacity c. 1050

eorpach

Question for the techies:

I'm thinking of putting my iPhone 4S for sale on eBay. Its *immaculate* in every way (spent its whole life in a Lifeproof case). The phone is not yet 2 years old and "iBackupBot" (an OSX App) indicates that it has a Full Charge Capacity circa 1050 and a CycleCount around 1150.

I know I'm probably a fairly heavy iPhone user, so my question is, are these stats really bad? Should I stomp up €75 to have the battery replaced by Apple before putting it on eBay?

Ideally I don't want the hassle of doing that and I know that most people wouldn't think twice about battery quality before reselling, but equally I don't want to sell something that the purchaser will be unhappy with. Like I said; the phone is immaculate in every other respect so I want to get the fairest possible price given how well its been cared for.

Thanks for the feedback.

Would you get 75 EUR more for it with a new battery over leaving it as is?

I wouldn't think so. Sounds like money you won't recover.

A 1150 cycle count does seem a lot. I've had a 4S for 15 months and only have a count of 340. My full charge capacity is 1330 (out of 1430 mAh). But I don't use 3G, location services or Bluetooth much, mostly Wi-Fi.

You should mention how long the phone has been used for in your listing. You could try putting it up on Adverts.ie as well.

Have a look around some of the threads on this forum for a member called CathalDublin. He has a good reputation, I believe.
