Oh yes. I forgot. You can pay a service fee to have your device performance and battery life uncapped "responsibly." Apple even licences the technicians.
Of course, since the many folks are extremely inconvenienced without a phone for a day or two for servicing, I wonder how good the uptake on the post-warranty battery replace really is. It's a 1 hour operation to replace-and-upgrade.
- mikeash 9y agoI’m pretty sure they replace it while you wait.
- KirinDave 9y agoLast time I did it (2 weeks ago) they asked us to leave it overnight, and then it wasn't ready.
- pwinnski 9y agoWhat Apple charges to replace the battery is roughly what a replaceable battery from Apple would cost. The time Apple takes to replace the batter is roughly how long it would take me to unpackaged a replaceable battery myself. The only drawback to Apple's choice (and incidentally just about every other manufacturer's as well) is that I have to drive to a location rather than having a replacement battery delivered. So there's a drawback, but it's not as drastic as people seem to imagine. I suspect most people are just unaware that Apple (or third parties) will perform this task so cheaply.
