Apple iPhone owners are being offered heavily discounted battery replacements after the company admitted slowing the performance of some models.
The offer covers anyone with an iPhone 6 or later who's battery needs to be replaced. This includes the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, and the iPhone SE.
The cost of battery replacement is being reduced by $80; from $119 down to just $39.
Apple says the replacement program will be available worldwide until December, 2018. More details will be provided soon on apple.com/au.
In a statement on its website, Apple said:
"About a year ago in iOS 10.2.1, we delivered a software update that improves power management during peak workloads to avoid unexpected shutdowns on iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone SE. With the update, iOS dynamically manages the maximum performance of some system components when needed to prevent a shutdown. While these changes may go unnoticed, in some cases users may experience longer launch times for apps and other reductions in performance."
