Apple Takes Responsibility for iPhone5 Battery

Submitted by Dave Won on Mon, 08/25/2014

Apple’s flagship smartphone the iPhone has been plague with problems since its release to the public especially in relation to batteries and signal levels. 

Apple has defended many of the problems sighting the issues as being normal function, or blaming the customer for various things like the way they were holding the phone etc... Typical pass the buck nonsense that many companies will do to avoid a mass recall of defective products.

Well in light of the decline in the popularity of the iPhone and the pending release of the iPhone 6… Apple is replacing faulty batteries in selected iPhone 5 models to save face. So if your iPhone 5 has suddenly been losing battery power then you are one of the people that can get a new battery installed. Device affected were sold between September 2012 and January 2013 so there is a lot of people that should take advantage of the replacement. 

I applaud Apple for doing this; it is a step in the right direction and will gain much need attention from customers that dumped the iPhone because of lack of support. Ex-Apple owners should give Apple a chance to prove itself.

The company has forced Foxconn to clean up its act with human rights etc. so they really trying. I think there is going to be a good future for the iPhone if they continue to listen to the customer again.
