I'm planning to have Apple replace the battery in my iPhone 13 next week. I also need a new screen protector, but I'm worried it could be removed or damaged during the repair. Is it better to wait until after the battery replacement to install the new one?

They may need to remove the screen protector during the repair, so installing a new one beforehand could be a waste. I’d wait until the battery replacement is finished, then apply the new protector afterward.
For an iPhone 13, the technician may need to open the phone from the display side. They’ll usually try to preserve a protector if possible, but removal is ultimately up to the technician and the condition of the protector. Waiting is the safest option.
Got it, thanks! I’ll wait until the replacement is done.
That makes sense—thanks for the advice!
