Apple Extends the Life of its iPhone 5 Battery Replacement Program for Another Year
Apple appears to have extended the life of its iPhone 5 battery replacement program by another year. Apple has a dedicated Web page for the program on the company's Web site where users can perform a test with their serial number to find out if the battery is covered or not on their specific handset.
The program, which was expected to end March 1st of this year, looks to have been extended until January of 2016 or three years after the retail sale of the unit, whichever is longer. This gives those that are slower to learn about the program, or that are waiting until their batteries actually fail on them, a way to replace their battery if needed if they already missed the deadline. This unannounced change by Apple was first spotted by iPhone in Canada.
The program was first announced in August of last year by the Cupertino-based company because of an issue that could occur with these batteries that could cause them to have a shorter battery life than expected, or for that matter needing to be charged more often than they should to keep the device running throughout normal tasks.
To read more about the program and to check your device's eligibility, you can head over to Apple's Web site at this link.
