If so, have you noticed a difference? I'm going to schedule an appointment tomorrow to get mine replaced.
Seems so. An article in Macrumours says that some of them are charging more than the amount told by Apple, in order to “maintain reasonable profit margins for time and labor.”The official price for the battery replacement service in Canada is $35.00 but the local Apple authorized service provider is charging $50.00. Are they allowed to do that?
Yup. Took my store 3 weeks to get a replacement battery for my 6S Plus. I was told I could wait the 2 hours, or just drop it off and return tomorrow. I'm doing the drop it off option since I have a XTrying to get the battery on my dad's iPhone 6 replaced. Took it to an Apple store in Canada and they gave me price of $35 to replace the battery. They didn't have any in stock and said that it would be at least 2 weeks before a replacement arrived. The said they'd call me when it's arrived.
While at the store, they performed a diagnostic test on the current battery and said it's 86% which isn't at all terrible, but if I wanted to change it, no problem. So I agreed and am waiting for the parts to arrive.
Oh, and they also mentioned that the day I have to bring it in for replacement it would be approx. 3-4 hours for the replacement to be done.
