Apple Battery Replace Program
Saturday 2 September 2006 ◷ 12:44
I've had my iBook for about one year now, so the new battery was a welcome renewal which basically means the life-span of my iBook is extended by a year, like 25% - 33%. While Apple can probably have the troubled batteries replaced for free from Sony, Apple will still suffer from customers who now have their moment of "Do I buy a new battery or do I buy a MacBook?" moved back about a year. A couple of months ago I also had the mainboard replaced due to a broken integrated airport, so it's like the vital parts of my iBook haven't aged after one year.
