I’ve booked to have my battery replaced on Monday,
I’ll update here if it makes any difference to the overall speed of things.
Presently if I write a text, there’s a very noticeable lag from opening the app to actually being able to type in the text box.
IOS10 was an immediate response, IOS11 is truly a laggy one.
Bloody waste of time that was, booked in at a so called Istore in Ipswich through the Apple UK site, good job I phoned before going there.I’ll update here if it makes any difference to the overall speed of things.

Sorry m8, batteries on a short supply, may be March before Apple send them, they dont make the Iphone 6 bits any more. No sI-Iit Sherlock.
So how many days would you need my phoe for, its a simple job yes, could be between 3-5 day turnaround. Seriously. WTF.
Now going to Norwich sometime in the future.
Bah bloody humbug

I think they don't want your business. They don't want to take £25 off you to replace the battery, how much does it cost in labour?Sorry m8, batteries on a short supply, may be March before Apple send them, they dont make the Iphone 6 bits any more. No sI-Iit Sherlock.

it takes less than one hour to do.
Well, so barely seems worth doing once you take the cost of the battery and VAT into account.Blown2CV said:
barely seems worth it for whom? The normal price is like £100 or something. They reduced the price to £25 because of the potentially massive impact of the story which formed the topic of this thread... not sure what you're getting at
Istore Ipswich, an apple reseller being asked to change batteries for £25. Unless they are being paid money by Apple on top probably don't want the hassle over next to no profit.That's why they wouldn't do it

"When the battery issue was first identified, it was assumed that the throttling was related to battery’s ability to hold a charge. That’s not quite the case. While there may be some correlation to how fast your battery drains and performance, Apple’s throttling only kicks in when an unexpected shutdown is detected."
So actually not as bad as everyone thought.
