Hi all,

Ive been delaying long enough and my sister alerted me that the battery replacement is coming to an end. So i like to take advantage to replace the battery.

My husband told me that his colleague got a replacement phone, when he asked her, she didnt reply whatsapp till now. They rarely met at workplace and so i didnt want to push it.

I am using iphone 6s Rose Gold 128gb and always expected shutdown.
As i was reading, I saw someone posted this link : https://www.apple.com/support/iphone6s-unexpectedshutdown/
"The iPhone 6s serial number you entered is eligible for this program. Please choose one of the service options below."
So Im not so sure, but will I get a on replacement phone for free, or I need to pay RM199, or RM399?

My husband is using Iphone 7+, im pretty sure he'd be eligible for the battery change too, perhaps?

I think the free replacement program for those set that have issue has ended. iPhone6s release around Sept 15’. I could be wrong, just walk in and ask those Apple Premium Reseller.

The program covers affected iPhone 6s batteries for 3 years after the first retail sale of the unit.

Thanks! you replied after I edited. Hehe
So yes I am still eligible as per chat session with apple
I got my phone back on March 2016 under maxis zerolution

Im kinda happy as I will be getting a replacement. I think its better, i guess.
Initially I wanted to just change the battery.
Downloaded battery life, shows as 38% for my 6s

38%! i think your phone must have trottle down the performance to a halt. no wonder a lot of shutdown. Apple consider battery health < 80% as deem to have failed.

Does the phone have to be in good condition to replace the battery?
My screen has a crack on the top left corner and some bumps on the edges.
*
yes. you have to replace the cracked screen first.

okay so today went to Switch Mines withouT appointment, was told that 7+ got no stock , and there was a notice saying that 6/6s/7/7+ got low inventory.

the person gave me ph. number of Ekocheras to call , also no stock.

honestly, everytime i go to all these stores no one ask me about appointment, which i only have a 31/12 one@MachinesCurve.

tmr share more tips sekian

i don’t even think they have enough stocks for those who have made an appointment. walk-in no need to say already but then again it is fair since Apple have given the whole year of 2018 for users to send in.

as the iPhone's special battery replacement program comes to an end, so does this thread.
Happy New Year 2019 everyone!
