https://ifixedquick.com Direct contact link Apple received complaints after their customers discoveredthat their iPhones were slow to respond or the phone’s speed was beingthrottled. In early January Appleannounced that it was indeed using iOS to throttle some legacy devices whichwere susceptible to battery over-heating and that the slowdown was done toprevent premature battery failure. To remedy this issue Apple offered its customersa one-time battery replacement for just $29.Since we here at iFixedQuick also offer customers an iPhone batteryreplacement service for $25 we wanted to see what was involved in getting thisdone through Apple.We heard from our customers that their local Apple storeswere out of stock on iPhone batteries. Rather than wait for Apple to restock their inventories they wantediFixedQuick to perform the battery replacement on their iPhones. To separate the facts from fiction wefigured why not take the customer’s iPhones to the local Apple stores here inRaleigh-Durham North Carolina and see what happens.The ProcessWe started by visiting Apple’s iPhone Battery& Power warranty replacement page. From this page we chose the Bring in for repair option and made twoappointments. One appointment with theApple store in Durham NC at the Streets of Southpoint for an iPhone SE andanother appointment at the Apple store in Raleigh NC at Crabtree Mall for aniPhone 6s Plus. Here’s what we learned. The ExperienceOnce we arrived at the Apple store in Durham NC we werepaired with a tech at the Genius bar. The Tech looked up the serial # on our iPhone SE and confirmed that itwas eligible for the free battery replacement. The tech was able to replace the battery on our iPhone in about45minutes and we were out of the store in about an hour.The experience was not so great at the Apple store inRaleigh NC at Crabtree mall. To theircredit this is probably one of the busiest Apple stores in the entire state ofNorth Carolina. This store attracts alot of customers because of its size and its strategic location.Once arriving at the store for our appointment we were toldthat the battery for the iPhone 6s Plus was not in stock. The expected availability for this batterywas about 3 weeks. The tech whoexamined our phone also noticed that the phone had a non-OEM screen. Although they were willing to replace the batteryon our iPhone they had us sign a waiver that Apple would not be responsible ifthe non-OEM screen broke during the repair process. And if the screen did break during theremoval process we would have to pay $199 to cover the cost of a new OEM screenbefore Apple would carry out the battery replacement.The Take AwayI applaud Apple for taking the initiate to make theircustomers whole. A few things consumersshould consider before undergoing this battery replacement program.Don’t procrastinate! The battery replacement program expires on12/31/2018 so you only have a few months left to take advantage of thisprogram. You have the option to send in the device toApple-Care if you don’t have access to an Apple store in town. Remember if the phone has other damageApple will charge you $6.95 to ship the device back. If you have a Non-OEM Screen Apple may denyyour claim or charge you for a new OEM screen before they replace the battery.This replacement only covers the battery andnothing else.iPhone 6s 7 8 and x will likely lose theirIP67 water/dust resistance rating once they are opened. Apple claims the phones are water resistantnot water-proof!Here at iFixedQuick we carrybatteries for most iPhones iPods and iPads in stock and can generally replacethe batteries in about 30 minutes. Ourbattery replacement service for iPhones start at $25.Like our Glass and LCD replacement servicesthe battery replacement services also come with a full 1 year parts and laborwarranty. ![]() Telephone: (919) 3******* |
