Apple Says Inventory of All iPhone Replacement Batteries Now Available Without Delay


MacRumors:

Apple has confirmed that "service inventory of all iPhone replacement batteries is now available without delay," in an internal memo distributed to Apple Stores and its network of Apple Authorized Service Providers on April 27. The document was obtained by MacRumors from a reliable source.

What this means is that Apple Stores and Apple Authorized Service Providers can now order iPhone replacement batteries from Apple and receive them without facing extended shipping delays, but that doesn't necessarily mean that every Apple Store or authorized repair shop will have supply available right away.

The discounted battery program is scheduled to run through the end of the year. It's not surprising there was a surge of demand up front, but it could pick up again as the discount window closes. This count offers a replaced battery on iPhone 6 and newer for $29 rather than the typical $79 for out-of-warranty repairs.
