Apple Is Selling Battery Replacements for Only $29

Recently, many iPhone users announced that they were not satisfied with the services of Apple. They even implied that they would be filing a lawsuit against the company. In fact, five of them pursued the case against Apple – they filed the lawsuit in New York. The reason behind the actions of those users is because the company has been selling phones with what they believe contain defective batteries. Users added that they think the Apple Company is purposively slowing down their iPhones after a certain period that it is used.

Those users had also bought a newer model to solve their problems which started when they upgraded their phones to the latest iOS version. However, according to the lawsuit, if they already have the idea that the battery was the cause of the problem, they should have bought a new battery instead of a new phone.

But lately, the company has confirmed that the models iPhone 6, 6s, 6, 6 Plus, and 6s Plus are experiencing some problems. They also said that the software updates were created to prevent the device from shutting down unexpectedly.

Some users insisted that the company should have shown more transparency regarding the performance of its batteries in the long run. In fact, Apple only acknowledged the problem after some bloggers and users have posted about devices they have tested.
