iPhone Battery Not Good Enough

So here’s a major glitch with the iPhone. And it’s so big that a class action lawsuit was filed against Apple for the same. It seems the battery of this here revolution in the tech kingdom, is only good for 300 – 400 charge cycles. Once you’ve crossed that bar you’re going to have to send your precious iPhone back to Apple who’ll charge you a fee of approximately 75 USD (Rs. 3035) to replace it, this being due to the fact that you can’t replace the battery yourself since the iPhone is very much like the iPod. The battery is soldered into the device hence the rear panel isn’t designed to be removed.

Besides the fact that you’ll have to pay to Apple to replace the battery pack you’ll also have to pay them a fee if you want to have a replacement while they tinker with yours. That should set you back another 25 USD (Rs. 1011) or so. So you’re going to have to shell out about 100 (Rs. 4047) USD just to get the battery replaced. No fakes here.

Though the information on the battery charge is clearly evident in writing when you purchase the device the costing for a new one is not mentioned. So, till there's an alternative solution to the iPhone's battery woes, I'm going to seriously reconsider my purchasing one.
