Today I went to the Brighton, UK Apple store to replace the battery on my 6s, after online chat with tech support on Tuesday. Diagnostics showed battery was 85% capacity and had no tech issues. But for £25 let’s replace it. Two hours later I go back and speak to member of team (when I went in at noon store was heaving and was at 2pm). 10 mons later greeted by team member who tells me there was a problem with the battery replacement. They could not get it out. ‘So,’ she said, ‘here is a new phone.’
And I’ve checked it is (week 18). Ironically is space grey not rose gold but space great was what I wanted back when it was new but you can’t tell as it’s always had a cover on it. Where else would you get this service: for £25?
Downside is it’s ios 11, which I’d avoided as wanted to keep various apps (and if battery replacement had worked I still would of had), but I can’t complain.
We all complain of the Apple Tax but it pays for events like this.
And I won’t need to buy a new phone for a while now.
