Apple has recently come under fire for reducing the performance of certain Apple iPhone models when the battery is ageing. The apparent reason is, as batteries age they can't handle the peak power requirements and if the power requirement was not reduced, it may cause the iPhone to unexpectedly shut down.
This technically really isn't a bad thing, but what hasn't been the best is Apple letting their customers know. Apple is now reacting by bringing out an update early this year which will provide better information on the battery status and also making an offer of reducing the battery upgrade price from $119 to $39 until December 2018. Obviously that's still a poor outcome for those who went and replaced their iPhone thinking their iPhone was now getting too old because it had become slow.
This does however mean there may be quite a few good iPhones sitting in drawers that for a $39 battery upgrade may again become useful devices.
Secondly, this is a great opportunity for anyone with an older iPhone 6 or above, who is finding their battery not lasting as long as it previous did, to get a low cost battery replacement. Keep in mind this offer lasts until December 2018, so you can get as much use out of your current battery and take advantage of the offer later in the year.
Overall the battery offer gives an $80 saving and peace-of-mind the replacement is being performed by Apple.
