My battery in my Iphone 4 won't hold a charge. Can anyone tell me how to get a new one?

From what I have been told IPhone batteries are not replaceable. Check with where you got it. I have ATT and they answer any questions I have all the time.

they are not replaceable. Either pay one of the many rebuilders to refurbish your phone or buy a new one.

Try contacting the Apple support team and explain to the what you have. There are times when they can be pretty accomodating depending on the model/year/etc.

I would not suggest doing it.
Also consider the source with his "more or less" qualifiers........especially the voiding the warranty or any other consideration if you open any iPhone.

My iPhone 4 is over two years old and the battery is working/holding a charge as well as it did on day one.

If you really want to replace the battery have one of the iPhone aftermarket companies do it. I will cost $100++++ to have it done.

You can get a new iPhone 4 or 4s for $99 or less.

I would probably consider upgrading to the Iphone 5. I read you can get one for $98 at Walmart with a 2 year Verizon contract.

If you recently downloaded the upgrades, you might want to try changing some of the settings on your phone like I did after reading about the impact the new upgrades had on iPhones. Saved me from buying a new phone! With the changes I made to my iPhone settings, I no longer have the battery drain problem.

My Verizon iPhone 4S began losing its charge after I downloaded the recent upgrades. Prior to the upgrade, I had no issue with battery drain, and after the upgrade I was down to 0% by noon! After visiting Verizon where they advised only Apple was authorized to open the phones, I did my own online research and found that the recent upgrades caused battery drain for many iphone users with older model phones (yes, my 1.5 year old phone is an "OLDER MODEL", just like me! LOL). I changed the settings on my phone (I already had the auto brightness off), and ONE in particular I think was the clincher for me: turning off spotlight search. I don't use that search, I use Google or Safari for internet search, and search within Contacts or email for those searches.

Here is the article I used to change my settings, I thought it was nice and clear: 6 tips and tricks for iOS 7 | ExtremeTech

There are later articles with similar suggestions, perhaps even more suggested setting changes by now, hope this helps and isnt' too late.
