Apple's batterygate (https://mashable.com/2017/12/20/apple-iphone-throttling/?utm_campaign&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source) fallout might translate to some cash for consumers.
In a letter Apple sent to Senate Commerce Committee chairman John Thune (R-SD) on Tuesday, Apple said it is seeing "strong demand" for iPhone 6 and above replacement batteries, which Apple discounted after they admitted to throttling older iPhones in order to preserve battery life.*
The even better news? Apple is "exploring" issuing rebates for customers who purchased replacement batteries at full price.*
