Apple offering $50 refund for out of warranty iPhone 6 or later battery replacements

Apple Canada announced an iPhone Out-Of-Warranty Battery Replacement Credit for customers who paid for an out of warranty battery replacement as a result of the performance throttling issues on older iPhones with sub-optimal battery life.

Apple is offering a $50 credit to customers who paid for an out-of-warranty battery replacement for iPhone 6 or later devices between January 1, 2017 and December 28, 2017.  Eligible battery replacements were completed at an Apple authorized service location — Apple Store, Apple Repair Center, or an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

The credit will be provided as an electronic funds transfer or a credit on the credit card used to pay for the battery replacement service.

Eligible customers will be contacted by Apple via email between May 23, 2018 and July 27, 2018 with instructions on how to obtain the credit.

"If you have not received an email from Apple by August 1, 2018, but believe you are eligible for a credit based on the terms above, please contact Apple by December 31, 2018. Note that proof of service at an Apple authorized service location may be required," a post on Apple's website says.
