Like most company, Apple has several versions of one device, and usually, it is only distinguished by their names which sometimes can also be very confusing since they only add one letter to its previous name. In addition, in spite their close resemblance, not all its parts are similar to each other. There always a difference to its function or its overall features.

One important component that is usually neglected until the very last minute is the device’s battery, for obvious reasons. One, it is something that you do not constantly notice because it is usually hidden from the public view, and vain as most people are today, it is only natural that they neglect it. Such negligence undermines its importance.

When it comes to THE iPhone 3GS battery, you need to remember that it is different from the iPhone 3G model. That also means you cannot just buy any battery. You need to confirm your electronic device’s model before buying the battery.

The problem here is how to determine whether the device that you have in your possession is 3G or 3GS.

It is quite simple really. ...
... All you really have to look for is the model number because it is obviously different from each other. The model number of the device is usually located towards the bottom of the phone, and the number is standard in all the phones of the same model.

A 3G iPhone model number is A1241 and its China exclusive counterpart, which is the one without a WiFi feature is A1324. The 3GS on the other hand is A1303, and its China exclusive model‘s number is A1325.

Again, you should be very meticulous with regards to determining whether or not your iPhone model is 3G or 3GS. A mistake will surely prove costly, especially with regards to its financial aspect.

iPhone owners should also remember that the replacement of an iPhone 3GS battery is usually done by professionally, and most of the times, you have to approach an authorized technician from Apple. They have shops around malls. However, the price does prove costly. You need to pay a whopping price of $79 for the labor itself and an additional $7, approximately, for your device to be shipped back to you. It does financially hurt, but, at least you are assured of the quality that the repair and replacement provides.

There are other options available, and it usually involves services coming from a third party. They offer their services at a cheaper price which is very attractive to most, but you still need to be very careful. Being a third party, the quality cannot be assured. This is not saying that you cannot trust their services. Only that, you cannot be sure because Apple has exclusive training and information that they might only share to authorized technicians. Updates regarding their devices might be exclusive as well.

Sometimes, it pays better to have a professional and with authority do the simplest jobs such as replacing an iPhone 3GS battery. The price might be high, but at least, you know there will be no back-jobs.
