Apple Is Doing The Right Thing

In Replacing Old iPhone Batteries

It’s been a long-time rumor that Apple has been slowing down their devices. Sadly, this speculated rumor turned out to be true. As a way of apologizing to their customers, Apple is now offering battery swaps for $29. Yet, many folks are unclear on how qualified batteries are eligible for the replacement. For those who didn’t know, Apple Genius Bar conducts a diagnostic test. This test checks whether a battery can retain 80 percent of its original capacity at 500 complete charge. However, Apple is now allowing discounted battery swaps on iphone 6 or later, regardless of the diagnostic test.

This clarification came after Apple passed along a memo regarding the replacement policy. To this policy they added that customers who paid $79 for a battery swap prior to the offer are eligible for a refund in price difference. Though Apple doesn’t consider battery condition in the new replacement offer, it’s good to keep in mind that the battery might not be replaced if there are other damages to your phone.
