[Electronics-Talk] iPhone battery was Re: iPhone 5S and IOS 11

[Jude DaShiell]

>From what I've read expect to pay about $80 to get the battery replaced 
which is reasonable compared to the price of a new iphone.  Apple slows 
down operation of phones with old batteries to encourage people to 
replace batteries and that's been confirmed by Apple too.  It's time to 
buy a new iphone if existing takes damage or operating system end of 
life is reached for existing model in order to get new security fixes if 
not necessarily new features.
