AppleCare+ Now Covers Batteries That Drop To 80%
Mark Wilson writes with news that Apple's AppleCare+ plan has been updated to address one of the biggest worries that people have about products with non-removeable batteries, and that become very expensive paperweights when the juice runs out. From BetaNews: "Previously, the extended warranty only covered batteries that would hold 50 percent charge or less. Now this has been updated so that you can request a free replacement within the coverage period if your device's battery is only able to hold 80 percent of full charge. The new terms to no apply to everyone — it all depends on when you bought your Apple device. If you bought your iPhone, iPad, iPod or Apple Watch before April 10, 2015, you're stuck with the old terms. I wish this change applied to my MacBook Air, with which I'm lucky to get 90 minutes of battery power.
Why the heck did the homophobic parent comment get modded up?
Not all Apple customers are "gay".
Some of them are asexual, with absolutely no sexuality at all. They don't care about penises and they don't care about vaginas. They care about trendy, hip electronic gadgets.
Some of them are multisexual, where they like members of the same sex and other normal forms of sexual attraction like that between a man and his motorcycle or that between a woman and her purses and shoes.
Just because heterosexuals tend to choose Android and Windows it doesn't mean that all Apple customers are "gay".
Please show some respect.
I agree - Apple products are unseemly.
