Need an iPhone 6 / 6S Battery Repair in Australia ?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock you will no doubt have heard about the iPhone Battery scandal in 2017. For those of you who can’t recall, Apple admitted to purposely reducing the performance on older iPhones via an iOS update, meaning the phones performed slower overall. Which in-turn would cause a lot of people to assume their phones were on their way out and that they should go buy the latest model for the closer side to $2k. A sneaky move on Apple’s part, but business is business I guess.

Apple have since offered to replace batteries at a reduced cost starting at $39, but after that how can you be sure what you’re getting is the real deal? We have another solution!
