Korea has finally paid Apple iPhone battery replacement service went on. Refurbished iPhone battery life is reduced or exchange the product at a private repair company to pay the cost of replacement parts in addition to a more open semyida length of consumer choice.
Korea is the 29th Apple iPhone battery replacement program implementation fee, users on Apple-authorized repair center to pay 145,000 won to the existing batteries with new batteries can be replaced, he said.
The company officials "have entered the vast majority of this program, Apple is working on similar ones in the country," said "(of various products), first started first on the iPhone," he said.
■ VS exchange broadening consumer choice is too expensive
Performed this service for Apple iPhone users to fix the battery problem, replaced with refurbished phones cost 290,000 won to receive the pyeongyida significantly reduced by half. In private companies, although cheaper to replace the future that can not be replaced with refurbished phones, there has been a constraint.
However, among some consumers that the price of 145,000 won or less expensive that producers are raising controversy.

A private repair company official said, "In a private company to replace the battery level is under 35,000 won," said "genuine Apple parts larger than the private companies but not adulterated or in batteries, and Apple Authorized Center Products transfer to a different part of her whole, "he explained.
The program, conducted from abroad is expensive compared to point out that there are replacement parts. In the U.S., the iPhone's battery replacement costs $ 79 (excluding shipping), just because. Miraculously, 92,000 won in South Korea only one level. Apple has some way to decide on whether the replacement part for the controversy is possible.
In response to consumers rather than Apple's side, Korea is favorable to refute. If you replace the battery in foreign parts only, whereas the products in Korea, including the battery is due to the lower plate to replace the whole thing. In addition, consumers in Korea, visit the repair center directly, it can be replaced one day, but only for overseas shipping services that can replace the process takes 3 to 4 days, was pointed out that.

Meanwhile, Apple iPad Korea in addition to the iPhone, like the introduction of domestic product that is not less than 1 year of battery replacement has not been determined yet, said. However, the domestic release of the iPhone that had been a year when considering applying the program is expected to expand even further.
