went to a authorized apple repair center - No ip6+ battery until March doh.gif
then state battery is heavily/totally damaged, cannot repair, need to buy new phone.

dafak i thought all this battery replacement is to replace bad battery bangwall.gif
ask my GF to go ask Apple Store instead. if same story, gonna freaking lodge a report.

*seems like its much easier to do swap battery in Msia.

Oh which country apple repair centre you went to?

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

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.

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

When will this program end? Coz I think my 7plus battery is still good. I want to change my battery last possible moment.
*
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

they will impose some sort of penalty i think, if i remember correctly.

from my enquiry, as long as its not opened by 3rd party - entitle for the program.
once opened by 3rd party - charge full price.

i’m wondering if those so called ‘apple service provider’ will honor the refunds if this free battery deal goes through.  well, keep your receipt for the time being smile.gif
