[Electronics-Talk] Replacing iPhone 6 and 6S batteries for $29

[Brad Hodges]

Colleagues:


For those who may not have heard, Apple has responded to the controversy 
created by changes in iOS intended to extend battery life by throttling 
back some processes. Beginning in late January, those of us who own 
iPhone 6and 6S models will be able to replace the battery for $29, down 
from the current $79.


I just contacted the Apple Disability Answer Desk, 877-204-3930, and was 
told that a specific start date has not yet been set. The representative 
invited me to call later in the month, once dates were announced, and 
make an Apple Store appointment to have the batteries replaced through 
Disability support. I have used this method to make other Apple Store 
appointments with excellent results.


I own 2 decommissioned iPhone 6 and an active 6S, I'm hopeful that this 
will be an economical way to extend the useful life of all 3.
