"We’ve always wanted our customers to be able to use their iPhones as long as possible. We’re proud that Apple products are known for their durability, and for holding their value longer than our competitors’ devices."

ROTFLMA!

LOL I read that too..

yea 137 nett...

or if you got opportunity going to Sg, do it there. 2 hours

they control the crowd by a systematic online reservation.

looks like there are mixed answers on whether they will replace batteries that are 3rd party outsourced. Wonder if anyone from AASP would be able to clear the air.

As long as there are non original Apple parts in your phone, they won’t touch it.

i got this issue before with samseng...
screen issue cant boot, sent for repair
1 week later go back they said not part of warranty, need to pay this for repair... so i said no need repair
then they say to get back to phone, you need to pay rm50. even you dont want to repair...
apple got aa.. dont want repair but still pay them to get back the pong
that dianogsis charges... rm100 .. need to pay that?

Can we send email to Tim Cook to ask for that?

I went Apple Center Sg on Tuesday to diagnose my out of warranty iP6. FOC. Turns out mobo died.
I believe those APR pocket the money.

never replace. should be pretty expensive. sold it off for $100 on carousell

daughter phone actually. got her an iPhone 8, which I probably will go to do a battery diagnosis in Dec

My friend made an appointment with machines. He was told that the technician will check the battery health and if it’s due for change, then they will order the parts. Which means he needs to leave the phone with them for 5-7 days. If this is the case, it is better for us to wait for Apple to release the patch (they said it’s Jan) to check battery health ourselves so we can see how severe our battery is and decide if you want to send in the beginning of the year or end of the year, when it deteriorate further.

if your friend are paying for it and not claiming warranty, the diagnosis results doesn't really matter. they will have to change if your friend insist. else, call Apple.

Need to left your phone at the repair centre approximately 7 days for this.

done change battery on my 6s plus

but not the official one lol. change it my self. rm30 oni liao

I would still go for aasp despite the 7 days wait (could also be a day), at least don't need worry about parts whether are there original or not, and to make it worse, whether the technicians are certified or not is another issue, proper measurements to open up and resealing back phone is another important parts.... so many important measurements here, I'd go for aasp even if its 14 days, plus....aasp program is still cheaper..

super satisfied with SOT on my iPhone 6s Plus😊😊

My go-to Apple technician (not affiliated to any Apple resellers) told me that for the programme, the Apple hardware test will determine if the battery life is up to 20 per cent only will they decide to exchange the battery for you.

RM129 plus long queues is not worth it since my battery life is not as affected that badly. OEM batteries cost RM180 to RM191 and it can be done in half an hour to an hour's time.

I waited an hour to find that out at a reseller store. So save your time and headache and just get an OEM battery for less time and less money.

anyone already received their phone from the battery replacement program?

did you get your exact phone, or a refurbished unit?
