Apple is currently running a program in which all eligible iPhone devices can have their batteries replaced for a mere $29. However it seems that for some iPhones, namely the iPhone 6 Plus, is running into replacement issues for its batteries as Apple appears to be having trouble keeping enough batteries in stock.
So much so that iPhone 6 Plus owners will have to wait until late March or early April to get their battery replacements. However the good news is that over in Canada, Apple has launched an iPhone “Reserve a Battery” program. As the name suggests, this allows iPhone customers to reserve a battery for their iPhone ahead of time and be notified when it is available.
This means that it will save customers a trip to the Apple Store only to find out that batteries aren’t in stock. Those living in Canada can check out the program by signing in with their Apple ID on Apple’s Get Support page and filling out some details. It has also been pointed out that some of the steps involved can also be completed via the Apple Store app.
As for the rest of the world, MacRumors has received a tip that Canada is apparently being used as a trial country, meaning that Apple appears to be testing out the program in Canada first and seeing how customers respond before they possibly expand it to other markets in the future.
