Video: Healthy iPhone battery or not, you can still get a replacement for $29
Late last year it came to light that Apple has included code in the iOS operating system that throttles the performance of iPhones if the battery is showing signs of wear. The good news is that Applewill carry out a battery swap for $29, but how do you know if it will help?
According to Apple, the iPhone’s battery is designed to retain up to 80 percent of its original capacity at 500 complete charge cycles, so if the full charge capacity is less than 80 percent of the design capacity, of the recharge cycles exceed 500, then your battery is considered worn.
In my example, the full charge capacity is well above 80 percent of the design capacity, but I have three hundred additional recharge cycles, which means the battery is getting on a bit. However, the only benefit I’d get from a battery replacement right now is increased iifespan since the device isn’t being throttled.
