When IPhone 5 was release some of its units had defective batteries, although the percentage of defective units was quite less. The batteries use to drain quite fast if you compare it to other units thus leading to charging them more often. To address this issue, Apple launched an iPhone 5 Battery Program last year in which people could get a new battery who had affected phones. In this program, the total duration which was set is 2 years when the phone was bought meaning by 1st march this year it is supposed to expire. However, now it seems that the duration of the program has been extended by Apple to 16 of January, almost a year.
This is good news for people who had affected phone but still didn’t manage or didn’t know to get new batteries. If your phone is affected and you also bought it at a later date then you have almost a year to get a new battery. If you don’t know if your iPhone 5 battery is affected or not, you can just visit Apple’s Website and at their support page just provide the serial number of your phone and you will be able to know whether it is one with the affected battery or not.
