In their initial apology letter, the firm said that the batteries would be available in late January, but an updated apology says the batteries will be available now.
The company told The Verge in a statement that “we expected to need more time to be ready, but we are happy to offer our customers the lower pricing right away.”
“Initial supplies of some replacement batteries may be limited.” They will soon update the details on Apple.com.
In a rare public apology on its website on Thursday, Apple clarified that the reason behind slowing down the software was to protect phones with older batteries from sudden crashdown
and customers can now replace their batteries at the reduced price.
