iPhone Battery Replacement Cost Now Down to Rs. 2,000 (All-Inclusive)

Revised something

The battery replacement was supposed to cost Rs. 2,000 plus taxes

Apple kicked-off the replacement programme last month

Replacement batteries are in short supply in the country, though

In the midst of the ongoing shortage of batteries, Apple has dropped the cost of the replacement batteries to Rs. 2,000, all inclusive. The battery replacement programme costs $29 internationally and was set to originally cost around Rs. 2,000 plus taxes (roughly Rs. 2,600) in the country. The new price of replacements under Apple's battery replacement program for iPhone models with ageing batteries was confirmed by multiple service centres across Delhi-NCR and Mumbai.

Models that are eligible for the battery replacement programme include the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7, and the iPhone 7 Plus. In late December, Apple offered users a chance to get their iPhone batteries replaced at a price that's lower than usual, in response to the controversy after it confirmed slowing down phones with ageing batteries to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

Want a Replacement iPhone Battery in India? Be Prepared for a Long Wait

Prior to the launch of the battery replacement programme, the cost of out-of-warranty battery replacement was approximately Rs. 6,500 inclusive of taxes in India, as per industry sources. The flat price of Rs. 2,000 for each battery replacement is notably applicable through all Apple authorised service centres across the country.

To replace the battery of your iPhone, you need to visit one of your nearby Apple authorised service centres where a service executive will run a diagnostics test to determine whether your iPhone is eligible for the replacement. If the test shows the battery as consumed, the service centre will return the handset to you and will call you back whenever the replacement is ready. A Gadgets 360 report found that supply of batteries is limited, with some users facing delays of several weeks.

Race 3 movie review: Not a Salman Khan fan? Mind your own business

Race 3 Director - Remo D’Souza Cast - Salman Khan, Bobby Deol, Jacqueline Fernandez, Anil Kapoor, Saqib Saleem, Daisy Shah Rating - 1/5 During one of the many forced fist fights in Race 3, Salman Khan is getting the better of his opponents when he is hit by a rod. He smirks, turns towards the camera and punches the enemy in face as if he is punishing the man for not recognising the Bhai of Bollywood. The camera doesn’t cut to the rod, which, I am sure, is broken in half by now. Such is Salman’s unparalleled rage and such is the vision of director Remo D’Souza. Race 3 is everything film students are taught not to do, but then what do they know? From the first scene in which Anil Kapoor blows up a gang member with the help of a pen bomb to Salman coming to the rescue of his family in a base-jump suit, Race 3 unabashedly targets the fans. There isn’t any pretension of logical filmmaking or sound screenplay. It seems Race 3 categorically wants the non-Salman fans ...

Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S9 next month

Samsung will unveil its next flagship handset, the Galaxy S9, next month at Mobile World Congress (MWC). The company’s smartphone chief, DJ Koh, confirmed the launch to ZDNet at CES yesterday. Koh didn’t offer a specific date, but MWC will run from February 26th to March 1st this year, so expect the unveiling to fall somewhere in that time frame. The S9 (and, presumably, an S9 Plus) will be the successors to the S8 and S8 Plus, which launched at a Samsung event in New York last March before going on sale in April. The S8 and its bigger brother were a hit with critics, who praised the phones’ gorgeous design and brilliant cameras. The phones were even good enough to make consumers forget about the disaster of the Galaxy Note 7 and its exploding batteries. Not much is known about the Galaxy S9 at this point, though we’re not expecting any radical departures from the S8. A handful of leaked renders suggest it will look near-identical to its predecessor, with a sl...
