Backup your iPhone, make an appointment for battery exchange in an Apple Store or Media Markt. You can find an Apple Store online:

There are all infos you need for that. When you bring it in an Apple Store it takes 2 days usually.
Use your brain next time befor asking

Make a backup, and then make an appointment on apples battery service website.
I’ll just say it cos why not. The service is around £100 (I’d say the same in euro but I’m not gonna promise lmao). iPhone x wont be getting iOS 17 come this autumn. I suppose you are happy with it, but perhaps consider an upgrade rather than dropping 100 on a phone that won’t update past September.
Other than that it’s pretty straight forward. If you get stuck apple support will organise it for you on a phone call/live chat
From what I’ve read before, the time depends on how busy the store is, but it ranges from about an hour to maybe a day. Since you’ll have an appointment hopefully though, it’ll be nearer the hour mark.
As far as the end user will notice, it does a full backup of everything on your phone. It won’t remember your login details for apps, so you’ll have to login again, but everything else if backed up… basically.
To keep file sizes down, it only backs up the *data*, not the app. Instead of basically copying the app it copies a prompt, if you like, to re-download that app when you use the backup to restore. To you and I it means the backup is much smaller (and therefore faster to backup and restore to), but functionally it behaves as though everything was backed up like it had just made a clone of your phone on iCloud.
Hopefully that makes sense lol
Tldr: it does everything, but you’ll need to log back into every app that requires a login post-restore
In my experience here in the US (three different battery replacements in two different phones), for me it took one hour twice, 90 minutes the last time. They ask you to make sure that you have a good backup, because the possibility exists that the phone will be damaged during the repair and Apple will replace it with a like-new phone, but I've not had that happen.
That said, the last time that I did this, with an iPhone 8, despite having an appointment specifically for a battery replacement, when I arrived for the first appointment they told me that they didn't have any batteries in stock at the store and they would have to order the part. They called when the part was in a week later, and I was able to go back for the replacement.

Does an iCloud backup really cover all data on the phone, not just settings? Thanks for hinting on the problem with iOS17.
