A few weeks ago we warned you that Apple was starting a battery replacement program for some units of the iPhone 5. To know if our unit was subject to a possible change, we simply had to notice a poor autonomy performance, causing us to have to charge it much more frequently than when we bought it.
Although batteries are losing capacity as we use them and it is logical that they last significantly less than at the beginning, if your iPhone 5 is one of those affected by this problem, surely you have already noticed that the change for the worse is much more pronounced. To clear up any doubts, it is best to go to the Apple support website, enter the smartphone's serial number and there we will see if we are subject to a possible change or not.
Why are we talking about this replacement program again? Basically because Apple has modified some of its restrictive conditions that can limit the repair of a device. One of these conditions was that the iPhone 5 could not have a screen installed by a third party, a very common practice to save costs in case of accidental breakage after a fall. Apple has removed this premise and now allows iPhone 5 that are equipped with an aftermarket screen can also enjoy this replacement program.
It is certainly a very unusual measure at Apple And it is that although the device is ours as soon as we pay what it costs, they always reserve the right to make certain repairs or replacements if we have manipulated the iPhone outside the company's own SAT.
Is there a problem if the iPhone is jailbroken?
As they see it with jailbreak they will not change it surely. Of course, these programs continue to work even without guarantee so, in principle, they would be obliged to change it. It is a complicated case because it is not a guarantee, it is a manufacturing fault.
Yesterday we took him with a jailbreak and he started us with stories of a machine that calibrates it, I don't know what ... And well he told me that it was necessary to update and we flatly refused and it took us a little to explain to him that to change the battery it was not forced to update only had to open the screen and proceed to the replacement…. He refused! And we got cool😜😜 telling him that the end user was not obliged to update if we did not want to and in the end the flute sounded😁😁 the batteries were repaired with the jail echo !!!!! Hahaha
I will restore it with iLex rat and have as hidden cydia so that they do not make excuses for me.
Thanks a lot. Greetings!
I have my iphone 5 with the changed screen not original delivered in apple and they do not want to admit me in the program because of this, where can I get this from the apple page so that they can attend me? Thank you
Please if someone can help me, since it is not only the battery, it also has problems with the power button.
