Apple has apparently clarified its position on which iPhones qualify for a $29 battery replacement and which do not.

After some customers took to Apple support forums to complain of the company not replacing batteries for $29, a French publication named iGeneration claims to have obtained internal documentation sent to Apple Stores that details which iPhones are eligible for the offer. According to that document, which has not been independently verified by Apple, the company will charge customers $29 for a battery replacement on all out-of-warranty iPhone 6 or newer handsets that are not otherwise damaged.

According to 9to5Mac, which earlier reported on the move, some consumers say they visited Apple Stores and were not allowed to get a $29 iPhone battery replacementbecause their batteries were “ineligible.” In those cases, Apple Store employees performed a diagnostic test on the respective iPhone’s battery and because it had greater than 80% capacity left, some employees said it wouldn’t qualify, according to the report.

Now, though, Apple has apparently changed that and will allow anyone with the right iPhone to take advantage of the $29 fee.

So, what does it take to actually get a new battery for your iPhone and what will you need to do in order to qualify? Here’s a quick look:

Have a Qualifying iPhone Model

Apple will offer replacements on a variety of iPhones. Here’s the full list:

• iPhone 6

• iPhone 6 Plus

• iPhone SE

• iPhone 6s

• iPhone 6s Plus

• iPhone 7

• iPhone 7 Plus

• iPhone 8

• iPhone 8 Plus

• iPhone X

Make Sure It’s Working

Have a qualified iPhone model? Good. The only other thing you need to show is that your iPhone is in working condition and doesn’t have obvious signs of damage. And it should be out of warranty.

If you check all those boxes, pay Apple $29 and the new battery is yours.

对于哪些iPhone可享受29美元换电池服务，哪些不适用，苹果显然已经明确了态度。

此前有些用户在苹果售后服务论坛投诉，称苹果并未以29美元价格提供iPhone电池更换服务。法国一家名为iGeneration的科技媒体声称获得了苹果发往旗下专卖店的内部文件，其中详细说明哪些型号的iPhone适用替换电池的服务。这份尚未经过苹果确认的文件显示，苹果此次替换电池服务适用于所有已过保修期的iPhone 6或者更新版本的iPhone，而且除了电池老化以外手机不可有其他问题。

美国科技博客9to5Mac早前曾就电池更换服务报道称，有消费者投诉去苹果的专卖店却并不能以29美元更换iPhone电池，理由是电池“不符合要求”。具体情况是，专卖店的店员对用户的iPhone电池做测试后发现，电池容量还剩余80%以上，所以不符合更换服务要求。

但现在看来，苹果显然改变了政策，允许所有符合条件的iPhone用户享受29美元的优惠服务。

那么，你的iPhone能否享受这项服务更换新电池？具体要怎么做？以下是一些简单介绍。

哪些iPhone符合要求

苹果会给以下型号iPhone提供优惠更换电池服务，分别是：

• iPhone 6

• iPhone 6 Plus

• iPhone SE

• iPhone 6s

• iPhone 6s Plus

• iPhone 7

• iPhone 7 Plus

• iPhone 8

• iPhone 8 Plus

• iPhone X  

保证iPhone还能使用

你的iPhone型号符合？恭喜，接下来你只需要证明iPhone还可以使用，没有明显的损坏迹象，而且已经过了保修期。

如果确定iPhone满足上述条件，你就可以花29美元更换新电池了。（财富中文网）
