INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
You may have found money waiting for you, or at least credit at the Apple Store, as Apple is making further amends for purposely slowing
between January 1, 2017 and December 28, 2017 on an iPhone 6 or later
Of course, the replacement had to have been done at the Apple Store or an authorized retailer.The company was caught throttling iPhones with
subpar battery performance late last year in an effort to avoid sudden device shutdowns
The fix was to swap out the battery, which restored the performance of older iPhones.Apple even went as far as offering to replace the
batteries in older iPhones that showed no deprecation.Why this amountIt's not just a random number
The credit is based on the fact that Apple dropped the price of battery replacements when 'batterygate' become a news scandal.In the US, for
example, the battery replacement price went from $80 to $30
But people who already had their battery replaced at full price saw no benefit to this price drop.It's not a refund, like some people
would have liked, but it can go toward replacing your older iPhone with an iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus or iPhone X, something you were probably
going to update to anyway.
