iPhone 4s bricked after update to iOS9 with 3rd party battery
Okay so yeah. I installed a replacement battery from iFixit a few months ago. All was going great. I recently discovered I had to update to iOS9 to use an app needed for work. Well, I tried that, and now the phone is bricked. Or so it would seem after reading the link below, which perfectly mirrors what happened to me. I guess my main question is, how is this not more of a thing? No warnings seen on either side? I am now stuck having to dish out for a new phone whenI was just fine where I was. Lesson learned, I guess.
Questa è una buona domanda?
Find a battery that allows the phone to update via iTunes and that should work.

Okay, so how do you tell which batteries can do that before going through all the trouble?

That's the problem I'm having right now. It's really hard to find a good iPhone 4S battery well at least in my case. I'm still looking for decent ones. At the moment I've been constantly running into ones that will turn on but shut off and turn itself back on again frequently.
I say it's worth a try to use an iFixit iPhone 4S battery, they are generally high quality and the battery will have warranty from iFixit if anything goes wrong.

That's what I did.
