Maximizing Battery Life

iPhone uses lithium-ion batteries. To learn more about how to maximize the lifespan
and battery life of your iPhone, go to www.apple.com/batteries.

Replacing the Battery

Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and may
eventually need to be replaced. The iPhone battery isn’t user replaceable; it can
only be replaced by an authorized service provider. For more information, go to
www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/battery.

Cleaning iPhone

To clean iPhone, unplug all cables and turn off iPhone (press and hold the Sleep/ Wake
button, then slide the onscreen slider). Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid
getting moisture in openings. Don’t use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol
sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean iPhone.
