I thought so too but my Apple technicians says otherwise

Hmm, strange. I think if you contact Apple support directly to escalate this, I'm sure they'll be able to get the said service centre to toe the line.

SG. just checked with Apple Store - eligible to change as long as not opened by 3rd party, so yeah, registered name on the waiting list.
bad news - whole SG no stock  laugh.gif

Singapore no stock I think Malaysia will be worse biggrin.gif

March only will have stock and need to make appointment again.  doh.gif

That’s a long wait. The battery supplier probably can’t cope with the spike in demand possibly because very few people changed it at its original price biggrin.gif

They said Apple can’t replace all the iPhone 6 (and later) in 2018 if all owners want to have their iPhone battery changed.

Definitely, haha..

i rather pay rm129 than waste time changing the battery and search online for tutorial. i’ll leave it to the expert. Putting a 3rd party component also will void any deal that Apple dish out in the future.
*
Ya, that's the biggest concern. I think the issue may not just be the price, but rather the waiting time at the official channels. Maybe later part of the year will be better.

IP6+ is a 4 years old product. of course they are not going to concentrate making batteries at such huge volume.
surprisingly, so many ppl still using 6 series  laugh.gif
*
Yeah, I tried a friend's 6+ recently running 11.2 and the lag was unbearable for me, but he seems happy about it, haha

I wish The Star called machines or Mac City and get some real "Malaysia" status instead of parroting from an existing website.

Their tech writers aren't very good laugh.gif

If im not mistaken, A9 is the first time Apple manufactured the CPU in house from scratch which was very very good. Not to mention 1gb vs 2gb RAM.
*
Ya, the 2GB RAM makes a big difference

like the battery replacement discount right now. maybe after they settled the whole performance throttling issue we might get free batteries. smile.gif

last time I recalled they gave free iPhone cover as well due to signal issue.
*
Ya, but the freebies are usually for countries with Apple Store. I wouldn't hold my breath here in Malaysia biggrin.gif

When will this program end? Coz I think my 7plus battery is still good. I want to change my battery last possible moment.
*
Ya, the promo is till the end of the year but bear in mind there is a 5-7 working days wait, so you may need a spare phone during the exchange.

Thanks for your feedback.
Oh I thought Apple compulsory to replace it for us grumble.gif didn't knew about the test
*
It's not compulsory but you could insist to get it replaced since you are paying. Whether or not they have stock is another matter.

maybe try if can change the battery at SG or not?
the Authorised Apple Repair Center only need 1 hour waiting time, while Apple Store SG need 1 working day.

Problem is - Stock shortage  sweat.gif

Exactly, but was told you could try to make an advance reservation though.

Will apple replace an iphone battery that passed the test and under warranty for free or at rm129?
*
If your phone is still under warranty I'm pretty sure they'll change it for free.

Dont know if any sifu shared this before 

went to check  tnc is that the phone must be in good condition. Eg if there is screen Crack must change the screen also else can't be entitled under this pro
*
Good catch. I saw it as well. I think those who made a third party repair before would also be disqualified right?
