AppleCare+ offers easier battery replacements for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and more
Owners of iOS devices that aren’t holding a charge are in luck, thanks to a change Apple has made to its support policy.Apple has changed the terms of its AppleCare+ extended warranty to allow replacements for iPhones, iPads, iPods and Apple Watches with batteries that hold less than 80 percent of their original capacity. That’s an upgrade from the previous plan, which only offered free replacements for devices that dropped below 50 percent of their original capacity.The change was noticed Friday in a post by MacRumors, and appears spurred on by Apple’s expectations for its smartwatch. The company has said that it expects the Watch’s battery will take about 1,000 full charge-discharge cycles before it drops below 80 percent capacity, which means that it will last for about two-and-a-half to three years. The changed policy only applies to devices purchased after April 9, so iPhone and iPad owners who got new hardware for the December holidays are still subject to the plan’s previous 50 percent requirement.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
