[TechWeb] January 3rd news, according to foreign media 9To5Mac reports, the Apple Corp reexplained its battery replacement policy. As long as iPhone 6 and subsequent mobile phone users are willing to pay 29 yuan (189 yuan), and the device is not damaged, apple can replace batteries, no need for additional battery status detection.
It has been reported that employees of Apple Store said they didn't support the replacement of their cell phone batteries, which puzzled them.
According to iGeneration, Apple Corp has released a new internal document to Apple Store, which indicates that no need for diagnostic tests for iPhone batteries after warranty period, and battery replacement can be carried out directly. This means that all iPhone 6, iPhone 6S, iPhone SE, iPhone 7, iPhone 8, and iPhone X users can all spend $29 to replace the battery.
The actual condition of the battery is not related to the replacement of the battery. If the apple finds a cell phone or other components damaged, it may not provide a battery replacement service.
If you want to get a free battery replacement service through the AppleCare warranty claim, the battery test is the first thing to do. The current policy requires battery replacement if the battery capacity is less than 80% of the original capacity.
As the Apple Corp announced in the statement, it will provide $29 in battery replacement services throughout the year 2018. Future iOS updates will be better informed of the battery status of their devices. Now, users can get $29 in battery replacement services through offline Apple retail stores and online support channels.
IGeneration reported that if the customers bought a battery of $79 before they bought them, they would get a refund. It is not yet clear whether this is an official policy, and Apple's official statement does not mention a refund or other concessions.
