Apple batteries are replaceable. $79 and an hour at the Apple store will do the job. If you want to save money you can get it done at a third-party shop for less than $50.
Where Apple made a mistake was in not communicating to its users that this is something they need to do on an annual basis, so people could budget it in to their cost.
- beamatronic 9y agoThe hour at the Apple Store is the deal breaker. My time is too valuable for that.
- mehrdada 9y agoThen you can afford iPhone upgrade annually.
- mewse 9y agoYou don't have to spend the hour at the Apple Store. You drop the phone off, leave, and come back at literally any time more than 1 hour later. Go to your important meeting. Do some shopping. Have that doctor's appointment you've been putting off. Have a nice long lunch. Whatever. You don't actually lose that hour. I mean, obviously.
- rmwaite 9y agoI love Apple products. Every major computing device I use is made by them. I am lucky to be closer than the vast majority of people to an Apple store and even for me this is a huge pain in the ass. I think it is incredibly unreasonable to just hand wave this away like its no big deal. It absolutely is and to pretend otherwise is naive at best.
