Is the iPhone on Your Teen’s List This Year? Give the Gift of iPod Instead!

If your teen is like most others, the latest and greatest gadget is at the top of their holiday wish list. This year, that gadget is probably the Apple iPhone. And while it may be tempting to run out and purchase an iPhone for your deserving teen, you may just want to stick with the iPod, at least for this year.

As with many portable electronic devices, the iPhone battery has a somewhat short life. However, unlike iPod batteries, replacing iPhone batteries is quite difficult. All IPHONE batteries are connected directly to the motherboard of the device, so trying to replace an iPhone battery is quite risky. Replacing an iPhone battery means sending it away for iPhone battery replacement, and that means, you guessed it, no iTunes until the device is returned in the mail.

Replacing an iPod battery, on the other hand, is quite simple. Because iPod batteries are not fused to the motherboard of the device, replacing an iPod battery is something that can be done quite easily. Instead of sending the device away, an iPod battery replacement kit can be used in your own home. All iPod battery replacement kits come with comprehensive instructions, an iOpener to allow you to safely access the iPod battery for replacement, and a screwdriver designed specifically for the device. Replacing iPod batteries at home means there is no need to send the device away in the mail to have the iPod battery replaced, which is good news for less-than-patient teenagers.

This holiday season, choose the iPod instead of the IPHONE. And while you’re at it, order an iPod battery replacement kit to ensure your special teen doesn’t have to live without their treasured iTunes because of an iPod battery that’s run out of juice.
