"Apple has apologized to customers for how it rolled out an update that can slow down older iPhones. It is offering cheaper battery replacements to make up for it.
In a lengthy message posted on its site Thursday, the company gave an in-depth explanation for the controversial update. To make amends, Apple will temporarily drop the price of replacement batteries to $29 starting in late January. The price will go back up to the usual $79 in 2019."

Honestly, how about just not slowing down the phone???
Also, I wonder how they'll replace the battery on my phone with a badly cracked screen.

- They're only apologising because they were found out. Interesting to see how it goes in France, they have a law which protects against planned obselecence.face_melter
- Hmm. I read the Apple letter, and they're "apologizing" about the "misunderstanding" and the way they communicated about how batteries age.Krassy
- They are not admitting that they rolled out an update that slows down an old iPhone.Krassy

- i cant decide whats worse, a slow mobile phone, or a phone with short lasting batterydrgs
- Reversing handicapping the processor is the preferable solution. There should be a demand for this.instrmntl
- They just lowered the price of the battery temporarily to entice people to their stores and slip and slide a new phone to a customer. It's like a forced upgradekgvs72
