Cost of changing a battery for iPhone 5S?
My iPhone 5S battery is not doing so well. I've been told after a check that it will probably have to be changed.
In the store I got it checked at they told me the price of changing the battery would be about 120 pounds, but that they often instead of fixing the battery would "swap" the phone for a brand new one, which would then cost about 250 pounds.
After a quick internet search I found that many places offer to change the battery for about 40 pounds.
Is the store I went to just overcharging or are these cheaper places not to be trusted?
Why not replace it yourself? I have not worked on the iPhone until iPhone 4 and replace the battery is easy. There are plenty of videos on the Net will show you how. Specially on Youtube.com
This is where I bought my battery at:

- IPhone 4 Battery Changing Problem? I recently ordered a new higher capacity battery for my iPhone 4. I had the phone off, & when i attached the new battery, it didn't do anything but after a few seconds it sparked and let out some smoke.

- How much will the monthly service cost for the new iPhone 5 cost? My parents are planning on getting me the new iPhone 5 for my birthday late this September. However they are concerned about the monthly data plan price. 1. What is the expected monthly data service cost? 2. Will users have the option to choose 4g or this new LTE plan? Not the cost of the actually iPhone 5, just the monthly service plan I currently have a 3g data plan for my android, will the plan price go up with iPhone 5 and LTE?
