Apple subsidisng IPhone battery cost

[Al Cormack]

Which Computing has advised that any of you who have an Apple iPhone 6, 6S,and SE and

iPhone 7 will probably have been slowed down with Apple update 10.2.1 first released in late 2016 for the 6 series, and update 11.2 for iPhone 7 in 2017 .

The intent of the updates was to counter a known issue wherein iPhones running older batteries could suffer unexpected breakdowns,

 

Apple has admitted the problem and has apologised to its customers, and has offered to replace the batteries in affected handsets at a discounted price of £25 instead of the usual £79 which offer runs out in December 2018.

 

An official battery replacement will be conducted at an official Apple Store and you should go to its website (apple.com/uk) where information will be given on how to make arrangements for the replacement.

 

WHICH recommends taking up Apple’s discounted offer as a phone battery can naturally degrade over time, but replacements can be off-puttingly expensive.

I don't do the Apple thing but am sure this is useful to those that do.

I am running a Moto E4 Plus and get between 5-7 days per charge.....I find this Orgasmic TBH.

Cheers for sharing.

I usually buy replacement batteries online for a fraction of the price.  So far they have been ok
